Small bowel lymphoma radiographic features :


Typically, small-bowel lymphoma involves a single loop of bowel, with 5-20 cm of its length demonstrating 3:

bowel wall thickening: 1-7 cm

aneurysmal (or pseudoaneurysmal) dilatation (30%): occurs due to the replacement of muscularis by tumour or infiltration of myenteric nerve plexus 6

Despite the extensive involvement, small bowel obstruction is uncommon because of lack of desmoplastic reaction, and perforation is rare.
