Fig. 1A —Coronal (A) and axial (B) images from MR
enterographic study in 61-year-old man with celiac-associated low-grade
follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (patient 5 in
Table 1). Two areas of
circumferential jejunal and ileal fold thickening (arrows).

Fig. 1B —Coronal (A) and axial (B) images from MR
enterographic study in 61-year-old man with celiac-associated low-grade
follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (patient 5 in
Table 1). Also present is
aneurysmal dilatation, abnormal wall thickening, and irregular mucosal surface
of lumen in one involved loop (arrowhead).

Fig. 2 —Axial true fast imaging with steady-state free precession
image in 72-year-old woman with high-grade T-cell lymphoma (patient 6 in
Table 1). Note circumferential
ileal loop thickening (arrowhead) in absence of mesenteric
involvement.

Fig. 3 —T2 coronal true fast imaging with steady-state free
precession MR image in 50-year-old man with T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and
background of celiac disease (patient 7 in
Table 1) shows long segment of
proximal ileum with abnormal diffuse thickening and associated luminal
aneurysmal dilatation (arrow).

Fig. 4A —T2 true fast imaging with steady-state free precession MR
images of patients with small-bowel lymphoma and celiac disease. Coronal image
in 46-year-old woman (patient 9 in Table
1) with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) shows short
segment of jejunum with abnormal thickening, smooth margins, and luminal
narrowing with loss of normal mucosal folds (arrow).

Fig. 4B —T2 true fast imaging with steady-state free precession MR
images of patients with small-bowel lymphoma and celiac disease. Axial image
of 73-year-old man (patient 8 in Table
1) with high-grade T-cell lymphoma shows abnormally thickened
ileal segment with smooth margins (arrow).

Fig. 5A —Follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of proximal ileum in
51-year-old woman (patient 4 in Table
1). MR images show circumferential eccentric mural thickening
(arrows) with loop dilatation, irregular margins, and mucosal folds.
In addition, mesenteric nodal mass (arrowheads) is present.

Fig. 6 —68-year-old man (patient 10 in
Table 1) with high-grade T-cell
Hodgkin's lymphoma of jejunum (arrow) and celiac disease. MR image
shows luminal narrowing with proximal lumen dilatation. Also, mucosal surface
ulceration (arrowheads) is present.

Fig. 7A —64-year-old woman with low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (patient 2 in Table
1). There is eccentric irregular mural thickening with ileal
luminal narrowing (arrow). Note that thickening is predominantly
mesenteric in distribution (arrowheads).

Fig. 7B —64-year-old woman with low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (patient 2 in Table
1). There is also eccentric mural thickening on one ileal loop
(arrow) with attenuation of mucosal folds and luminal narrowing
(arrowhead).

Fig. 8A —44-year-old woman (patient 3 in
Table 1) with follicular B-cell
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. MR images show two discrete areas of involvement in
proximal (A) and distal (B) ileum. Note circumferential
eccentric thickening (arrowheads) in both areas with some surface
irregularity. There is also mesenteric involvement (arrows).
