Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the CT appearances of primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin lymphoma(PPNHL)in order to improve its diagnosis.MethodsCT manifestations of 19 cases with PPNHL confirmed by pathology and clinical follow-up were retrospectively analyzed.ResuitsNodules 7 cases and masses 8 cases in PPNHL were ill-defined and markedly enhanced,in which air bronchogram was commonly seen.Muhiple patchy areas distributed in the bilateral lungs were found in 9 cases.Consolidation 7 cases was lobar and markedly enhanced,in which air bronchogram was commonly seen.Interstitial change manifested as bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities and reticular shadow was found in 1 case.Mixed imaging manifestations were detected in 10 cases.Pleural effusion 4 cases was uncommon.Conclusion CT manifestations of PPNHL are varied,but some specific imaging features still exist,CT examination combined with clinical manifestations is helpful for the diagnosis of PPNHL.
