Overview
Upper GI Endoscopy
- 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.[1]
- The gastric lesion on upper GI endoscopy looks inflammed or swollen. Ulcers may be observed. Sometimes, a nodular mass may be visualized.[2]
