Abstract
|
|
|
Lymphoma is the second most common neoplasm in the head and neck, and is the most common cause of unilateral neck mass in patients between 21 and 40 years of age. This report is a retrospective review of histologically proven lymphomas in 42
patients
regarding histologic type, clinical stage, and CT imaging patterns.
CT imaging plays an important role in making diagnosis, planning treatment, and evaluating recurrence after treatment. CT imaging patterns are classified into 4 types:
Type 1 id nodal lymphoma. Type 2 extranodal lymphoma, Type 3 combined nodal and extranodal lymphom a, Tye 4 multifocal extrandodal lymphoma. In conclusion. Lymphoma should be considered when multiople, nonnecrotic homogenous lymph nodes are
located
in
deep lymphatic chains(especially when they are large and bilateral or when both are the superfical and deep lymph node chains are involved simultaneously) and no mucosal abnormality of the aerodigestive tract is observed.
Additionary, when a large nasopharyngeal mass lesion shows limited or equivocal bone destruction or amass is identified on two sides of a nasal bone without destruction and when multiple sites of disease are identified in extranodal tissues.
