## Overview

[edit | edit source]

Other diagnostic studies of MALT lymphoma include upper GI endoscopy. The gastric lesion of MALT lymphoma on upper GI endoscopy may look inflammed or ulcerated. Sometimes, a nodular mass, similar to a reactive lymph node, may be visualized.

### Upper GI Endoscopy

[edit | edit source]

* The gastric lesion of MALT lymphoma on upper GI endoscopy may look inflammed or ulcerated. Sometimes, a nodular mass, similar to a reactive lymph node, may be visualized.[1][2]
* The initial diagnosis of MALT lymphoma is made by biopsy of the suspicious lesions on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD, upper GI endoscopy). Simultaneous tests for H. pylori are also performed to detect the presence of this microbe, so that a firm diagnosis is made.
