In patients with omental caking due to peritoneal lymphomatosis secondary to cancers such as Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or MALT lymphoma, the most frequent symptoms encountered are abdominal pain, gastric distention, and weight loss.

Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis is an application of computed tomography (CT) and is a sensitive method for diagnosis of abdominal diseases.

Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (DFL) is a form of lymphoma in which certain lymphocyte types, the B-cell-derived centrocytes and centroblasts, form lymph node follicle-like structures principally in the duodenum and other parts of the small intestine. It is an indolent disease which on rare occasions progresses to a more aggressive lymphoma ...
FL is the most prevalent form of indolent lymphoma, accounting for 70% of indolent cases and 20–30% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases, with a yearly incidence of 1.6 to 3.1 per 100,000. [ 13 ] [ 15 ] It is most frequently diagnosed among people in their 50s and 60s, and is more common among white populations than black or Asian populations.
Lymphoma is a group of blood and lymph tumors that develop from lymphocytes ... CT scan or PET scan imaging modalities are used to stage cancer.
The CT scan showed that my spleen was six times larger than its regular size. (For reference, the spleen usually sits underneath the rib cage—mine had expanded all the way down to my belly button.)
Primary gastric lymphoma (lymphoma that originates in the stomach itself) [1] is an uncommon condition, accounting for less than 15% of gastric malignancies and about 2% of all lymphomas. However, the stomach is a very common extranodal site for lymphomas (lymphomas originate elsewhere and metastasise to the stomach). [ 2 ]
Marshak [1] was the first to introduce the term "endoexoenteric" to refer to a specific radiographic pattern (seen on x-rays, CT scans or PET scans) of lymphomatous involvement of the bowel. This terminology derives from the fact that in this form of lymphomatous invasion of the bowel, the tumor extends throughout the entire width of the bowel ...
