Abstract:
Objective To discuss the value of CT and MRI in diagnosis of laryngeal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL).Methods The clinical data,CT and MRI findings and pathology of 26 patients with laryngeal NHL were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 26 patients with laryngeal NHL,14 were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,6 were NK/T-cell lymphoma,2 were follicular lymphoma,2 were small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL),1 was angioimmunoblastic lymphoma and 1 was peripheral T-cell lymphoma.CT and MRI findings of laryngeal NHL:(1)laryngeal NHL showed homogeneous density on CT,slightly high signal intensity on T2WI,intermediate signal intensity on T1WI and moderate homogeneous enhancement;(2)laryngeal NHL was symmetrical and diffuse in appearance;(3)laryngeal NHL tended to spread through the submucosal and fat space,while muscle or cartilage invasion was quite rare but existed;(4)multisite lesions in Waldeyer's ring were obseverd occasionally.For those young male presenting diffuse multisite laryngeal lesion without a history of tuberculosis,a diagnosis of NHL should be raised.Conclusion CT and MRI can show the characteristics of the laryngeal NHL exactly,thus have applied value in detecting laryngeal NHL.
