Rubesin SE, Gilchrist AM, Bronner M, Saul SH, Herlinger H, Grumbach K, Levine MS, Laufer I.

Radiographics. 1990 Nov;10(6):985-98
The authors present a simplified radiographic classification of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the small intestine. The classification system is based on radiographic findings in 22 pathologically proved cases of lymphoma involving the small bowel and consists of three major forms: primary, lymphoma complicating celiac disease, and mesenteric nodal. In this series, small bowel lymphoma was evenly distributed in the jejunum and ileum. The most common radiographic patterns were circumferential lesion (seven cases), cavitary lesion (four cases), and mesenteric nodal disease invading the small bowel (seven cases). Obstructive symptoms were usually encountered with the mesenteric nodal form. Lymphoma complicating celiac disease was typified by multiple, thickened, nodular folds involving a segment of proximal small intestine.
