Lymphoreticular disorders of the gastrointestinal tract: Roentgenographic features

  • Published:
Gastrointestinal Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Recent advances have permitted close correlation of characteristic roentgen signs with the pathophysiologic alterations in lymphoreticular disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The background of primary and secondary immunoglobin disorders with gastrointestinal manifestations is reviewed. The roentgenographic alterations in the small bowel of the enteropathic immunoglobulin deficiency syndromes and in lymphoma of the small bowel, stomach, and colon are discussed and illustrated in detail.
