title: [Malignant lymphoma of the ileum].
abstract: A 53-year-old man with malignant lymphoma of the ileum is reported. He was admitted to our hospital because of lower abdominal discomfort. 67Ga citrate radionuclide imaging revealed an abnormal round uptake in his lower abdomen. CT scans showed an abnormal soft tissue density mass and a remarkably dilated small intestine in the pelvis. X-ray studies of the small intestine revealed a giant diverticulum-like lesion. Angiograms showed a hypovascular tumor with irregularity of the small vessels. A resected specimen revealed non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma, diffuse large-cell type. 67Ga citrate radionuclide imaging was useful in screening for neoplastic lesions in the small intestine because of its easiness and safety.
