    Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas (PGILs) account for 30%-45% of extranodal lymphomas and 5%-20% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.

  • 2

    Ultrasound-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy is a minimally invasive technique that effectively diagnoses PGILs.

  • 3

    18 F-FDG PET-CT enhances the accuracy of locating lymphoma lesions for biopsy, improving diagnostic efficacy.

  • 4

    The study assessed the safety and efficacy of combining 18 F-FDG PET-CT with ultrasound-guided biopsy compared to traditional methods.

  • 5

    Minimally invasive biopsy methods like ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy can prevent unnecessary surgeries in PGIL patients.
