Abstract:
Objective To expore CT diagnostic values for hyaline-vascular type of giant lymph node hyperplasia(GLNH).Methods CT findings in 4 patients with hyaline-vascular type of GLNH confirmed by surgery and pathology were respectively analyzed and relevant literatures were reviewed.CT examination included plain and enhanced scan with contrast medium bolus injection.Results Lesions were located 2 at the posterior mediastinum,1 at the restroperitonum and 1 at the neck.The characteristic CT appearances were a large soft tissue mass round or oval in shape with homogenous density,well and regular margin.The masses were all markedly enhanced after contrast,their attenuation were similar to but slightly lower than the larger arteries in the same section.Conclusion GLNH is an uncommon disease and it′s clinical diagnosis is difficult.But CT scanning could showed some features.When CT found a mass with benign characters locating in lymph node regions,especially marked enhancement,Hyaline-vascular type of GLNH should be considered.
