| Popis: | Lymphosarcoma with predominant or sole involvement of the colon is rare (1–3) and the roentgen features of this condition have not been emphasized. As elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract, lymphosarcoma of the colon occurs in two main varieties: one, a discrete or localized form which presents as a single mass, and the other an extensive diffuse submucosal infiltrating variety extending over long segments of the bowel. Differentiation of the discrete variety from carcinoma on barium-enema examination is difficult but is suggested by dilatation of the lumen of the bowel in concentric fashion at the site of the lesion (Fig. 1, A) or by the presence of a bulky intramural mass with extensive extrinsic involvement (Fig. 1, B). Another discrete type is the endo-exocolonic or dumbbell variety, usually with a considerably larger extrinsic component (Fig. 1, C). There is no difficulty in differentiating the diffuse variety of lymphosarcoma of the colon from carcinoma. The roentgen features are quite characteris... |
