Fig. 1A. 53-year-old woman with high-grade gastric mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Axial helical CT scan obtained through
stomach shows diffuse and moderate wall thickening (arrows) of
gastric body and antrum with minimal contrast enhancement.

Fig. 4B. 50-year-old man with low-grade gastric mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Photograph of resected specimen shows shallow
ulcer lesion (arrows) in lower body. Note associated mucosal
nodularities (arrowheads) in antrum. At histopathology (not shown),
low-grade MALT lymphoma was found in areas showing ulcer and mucosal
nodularities. Lesion was not revealed on CT (not shown).

Fig. 5. 64-year-old man with high-grade gastric mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Axial helical CT scan obtained through
stomach shows segmental and moderate wall thickening (arrows) in
gastric antrum. No normal mucosa is overlying lesion, and deep ulcer
(arrowhead) is noted.

Fig. 6A. 59-year-old man with low-grade gastric mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Axial helical CT scan obtained through
stomach shows segmental and mild wall thickening (arrows) in low body
and proximal antrum of stomach with minimal contrast enhancement. Overlying
normal mucosa is absent, and shallow ulcer (arrowheads) is
visible.

Fig. 7. 67-year-old man with high-grade gastric mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Axial helical CT scan obtained through liver
and gastric antrum shows two small low-attenuated lesions (arrows) in
liver. Findings from sonographically guided percutaneous biopsy proved them to
be involvement of lymphoma. Enlarged lymph node (arrowheads) is seen
at portocaval area. Gastric lesion was found in body (not shown).
