Abstract:
CT findings of 19 kidneys in 12 patients with renal and perirenal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were retrospectively reviewed to determine distinguishing characteristic and specific findings. CT manifestation of the renal and perirenal lymphoma included multiple nodules in five kidneys(26.3%), trans-capsular infiltration in three kidneys(15.8%). trans-sinus infiltration in nine kidneys(47.4%) and diffuse infiltration in two kidneys(10.5%0. Perirenal changes were thickening of the renal fascia in ten kidneys(52.6%) and crescentic lesion of low attenuation in the subcapsular area in five kidney(26.3%). Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy was evident in eleven patient(57.9%). Renal calyceal dilatation without renal pelvic dilatation(selective calcelal dilatation) was noted in three kidneys. Familiarity with these CT findings of renal and perirenal lymphoma may be helpful in the diagnosis and management of patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
