Abstract:
Objective To study the radiographic findings of lymphoproliferative disorders of the lung. Methods Twenty five patients with lymphoproliferative disorders of the lung were examined by X ray film, tomography, and CT. Results Multiple and mediastinal lymphadenopathy were observed in 2 patients with pulmonary pseudolymphoma. Multiple nodules or masses were observed in 4 patients with pulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis. Hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy was observed in each patient with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenophathy, 2 patients had multiple nodules or masses, 8 patients had single or multiple patchy infiltrations, 10 had diffuse interstitial infiltrations. 3 patients with Castlemen′ disease had a mass in the mediastinum, and another patient had mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Conclusion Radiographic findings of lymphoproliferative disorders of the lung are varied, and the final diagnosis relies on pathology.
