“…Some authors found a high correlation between histological improvement and normalization of the gastric wall evaluated by endoscopic ultrasound [17,28,29] , supporting its usefulness in surveillance after treatment. However, in other reports that correlation was much lower ranging from 33% and 54% [30,31] .…”

Diagnosis of lymphoma is frequently challenging. The complexity of the sub-classification of lymphomas along with the necessity of a high quality sample leads to costly and invasive procedures in order to achieve the correct diagnosis. Endoscopic ultrasound is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of gastrointestinal neoplasms as well as those that involve structures in the vicinity of the digestive tract. Whereas most gastrointestinal lymphomas are diagnosed and sub-classified using endoscopic biopsies, those involving deep-seated organs or lymph nodes might be targeted by minimal invasive procedures as endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology. Endoscopic ultrasound is also an accurate tool for the local staging of gastrointestinal lymphomas and prediction of the response to Helicobacter pylori eradication. This review summarizes the indications and evidence of endoscopic ultrasonography with or without fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis and staging of lymphoma.

Gastric MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma is a B lymphoma characterised by a tumoural infiltration of the gastric mucosa with specific small lymphocytes from MALT. Histological diagnosis may be difficult and needs to be established by adequately trained pathologists. It may regress after Helicobacter pylori eradication. The treatment of non responding patients remains debated: radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy AE chemotherapy are currently under evaluation. The related risk of metachronous gastric cancer necessitates longterm endoscopic follow-up.

“…Local relapse may recur after many years of complete remission; thus, patients should be followed closely long term with endoscopy and possibly EUS [34][35][36][37]. Despite these recommendations, unresolved issues remain, especially regarding seemingly conflicting information that may be obtained from histology, EUS, and immunoglobulin polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing.…”

“…Despite these recommendations, unresolved issues remain, especially regarding seemingly conflicting information that may be obtained from histology, EUS, and immunoglobulin polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. For instance, despite histologic regression, there may be a delay in normalization of gastric wall thickness [37], and monoclonality may persist despite histologic clearance of malignant cells [36]. The significance of these discordant findings is uncertain and remains to be answered with long-term follow-up.…”

The preferred terminology for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the stomach (variously referred to as MALT lymphoma, MALToma, low-grade MALToma, or pseudolymphoma) is marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL). MZBL, the hallmark of which is the lymphoepithelial lesion, develops as a consequence of Helicobacter pylori infection in susceptible individuals. In general, MZBL is slow growing, can remain localized for years, and has an excellent prognosis. Staging involves endoscopy with biopsy, computed tomography scanning, and endoscopic ultrasound. In patients with limited disease, eradication of H. pylori leads to remission. In patients who fail eradication therapy or have more extensive disease, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation alone and in various combinations have been used successfully.
