Objective To improve the recognition of the imaging appearances of inflammatory pseudotumors of the spleen (IPS), 3 cases with IPS were reported. Methods The US (n=3), CT (n=3) and MRI (n=1) findings of IPS were reviewed and correlated with the pathologic findings. Results On US, a well-defined solitary mass with heterogeneous echo texture was found in all 3 cases. A hyperechoic rim with associated acoustic shadowing was shown in 1 case. In all of the 3 cases in nonenhanced CT scanning, a well-defined hypoattenuated mass was found. One had a calcified egg-shell-like rim; On the venous/delayed phase of enhanced CT after contrast administration in 2 cases, slight/marked enhancement was shown. On nonenhanced MRI in 1 case, the mass was shown as heterogeneous hypointensity on T1- and T2- weighted images. Conclusion IPS should be included in the differented diagnosis of solitary mass lesion of spleen. The imaging findings depend on the variable proportions of fibrous and granulomatous components within the lesion. IPS was characterized by well-defined solitary mass on sonogram, delayed enhancement on enhanced CT, and hypointensity on T2 weighted MR images.

Objective To study the CT manifestations of metastatic lymph node of thyroid carcinoma. Methods CT appearances of metastatic lymph node of thyroid carcinoma proved by surgery and pathology in 108 patients were reviewed. Results Of these 108 cases, metastatic lymph nodes were located at superoir and middle internal jugular chain(n=76), inferior internal jugular chain and super clavicular region(n=86), tracheoesophageal groove(n=52), and superior mediastinum(n=17). Of 84 thyroid papillary carcinoma patients, the attenuation of metastatic lymph nodes were similar to that of normal thyroid gland(n=16), with cystic formations (n=24), intracystic high attenuation papillary-like nodules (n=18), and fine granular calcifications (n=11). Of 24 follicular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma patients, 17 cases had significant homogeneous or heterogeneous enhanced nodes, and the attenuation was the same as primary or recurrent thyroid tumors. Conclusion For thyroid carcinoma, the most common locations of metastatic lymph nodes were internal jugular chain, tracheoesophageal groove, and superior mediastinum regions. Marked enhancement similar to normal thyroid gland, cystic formations with intracystic high attenuation papillary-like nodules, and fine discrete granular calcifications were the characteristic manifestations of metastatic lymph node of papillary carcinoma. Marked homogeneous or heterogeneous enhancement after contrast administration and the same attenuation as the primary or recurrent thyroid tumor were found in follicular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma metastases.

Objective To evaluate the contrast enhanced CT manifestations of lymphoma involving cervical lymph node and to compare with features of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods CT findings of cervical lymph node were reviewed in 56 patients (male 44, female 12; age: 9-75 year, median 42 year) with untreated lymphoma and 66 patients (male 51, female 15; age: 16-76 year, median 48 year) with squamous cell carcinoma. Four patterns of enhanced nodes were identified: Type I: homogeneous enhancement with an attenuation equal or similar to that of muscle. Type Ⅱ: heterogeneous enhancement with an attenuation much higher than that of muscle. Type Ⅲ: central low density with peripheral enhancement. The enhanced rim was thick and irregular (ⅢA), or thin and regular (ⅢB). Type Ⅳ: central soft tissue density with a very thin enhanced capsule. Results There were various manifestations of cervical nodes of malignant lymphoma, more than one type of abnormalities could be found simultaneously. Type I(47/56, 83.9%) and Type Ⅳ(15/56, 26 8%) were almost exclusively found in lymphoma. Type Ⅱ was more commonly seen in squamous cell carcinoma (31/66, 47%), but was rarely seen in lymphoma (8/56, 14 3%). Type Ⅲ can be seen in both of these disease entities (lymphoma 21/56, 37 5%; squamous cell carcinoma 52/66, 78 8%) , but was more common in squamous cell carcinoma ( P
