MALT lymphoma and erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach: modern diagnostic approaches and own clinical observation

Abstract

Due to the pronounced polymorphism of stomach MALT-lymphoma endoscopic manifestations, often mimicking inflammatory changes of various etiologies, difficulties arise in the timely diagnosis of this disease. The alertness of the endoscopist and the use of integrated approaches to endoscopic diagnosis, taking into account the existing criteria for differential diagnosis, will undoubtedly improve the results of treatment.
