Visualization of esophageal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with Ga-67 scintigraphy.
Although non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is common, primary esophageal lymphomas represent less than 1% of all gastrointestinal tumors. We report a case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the esophagus. Ga-67 scintigraphy showed characteristic intense accumulation in the esophageal wall. The histopathology belonged to the category of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.
