[MALT-type primary lymphoma of the esophagus: imaging findings].
Primary lymphoma of the esophagus is very rare; it affects less than 1% of all patients with gastrointestinal lymphoma. We present a case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type primary lymphoma of the esophagus that manifested as a large ulcerated submucosal mass. We describe the radiological findings on the esophagram, endoscopic ultrasonography, and helical computed tomography. To our knowledge, only 10 cases of MALT-type primary lymphoma of the esophagus have been published to date.
