As endosonography is still restricted to specialized centers, we have investigated the use of spiral computed tomography of the abdomen with water-filling of the stomach (hydro-spiral CT) for enhanced contrast in patients with gastric lymphoma. &lt;i&gt;Patients and Methods:&lt;\/i&gt; Patients with a histological verified diagnosis of gastric lymphoma of MALT-type were included in this prospective series. All patients underwent routine staging procedures including endosonography of the upper GI-tract carried out by a single individual. In addition, patients were subjected to hydro-spiral CT either before or after endosonography within a maximal time span of 4 weeks. Results of hydro-spiral CT were compared to those of the endosonographic evaluation and histological work-up of biopsy specimens. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; A total of 14 patients with primary gastric lymphoma of MALT-type (3 with a high-grade component) were studied prospectively. All patients underwent hydro-spiral CT before initiation of treatment, and 2 patients were also studied following chemotherapy. In the pretherapeutic setting, hydro-spiral CT identified gastric lymphoma in 8 patients, while a false negative result was seen in 6 patients. In addition, the localization of the lymphoma within the stomach was divergent between CT and endosonography in 1 patient. In the 2 patients who were also studied after therapy, CT showed unchanged thickening of the stomach wall in spite of normalization in the endosonographic assessment as well as the histologic evaluation. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; Our results demonstrate the superiority of endosonography over hydro-spiral CT for the staging and follow-up of patients with gastric lymphoma, who should therefore be managed at centers where endosonography is available.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000063816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,15]],"date-time":"2003-04-15T21:05:17Z","timestamp":1050440717000},"page":"196-199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Comparison of Spiral-Computed Tomography with Water-Filling of the Stomach and Endosonography for Gastric Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue-Type"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Friedrich","family":"Vorbeck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"\u00d6sterreicher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"P\u00fcsp\u00f6k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brigitte","family":"Dragosics","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Fiebiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Chott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Raderer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(91)92035-Z"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s003300050069"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-199801000-00009"}],"container-title":["Digestion"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/63816","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/63816","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T04:13:08Z","timestamp":1745467988000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000063816"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2002]]},"references-count":3,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000063816","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0012-2823","1421-9867"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0012-2823"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1421-9867"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2002]]}}}
