AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2008 Sep;191(3):921-30. doi: 10.2214/AJR.07.2629.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this essay is to describe the imaging features of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type throughout various organs.

Conclusion: Awareness of the expected locations of MALT lymphoma combined with knowledge of the incidence and imaging findings leads to accurate diagnosis of lesions suspicious for this disorder and helps to differentiate this disease from other abnormalities.
