Article title

Lympho proliferative disease presentation in SCT

Abstract (resume)

Introduction. The paper is devoted to differential diagnosis of lymphoproliferative diseases with use of spiral computed tomography. Many organs and systems are involved in the pathological process of NHML. Their diagnosis is a complex subject, especially in HIV patients as liver, pancreas, spleen, intestines, adrenal glands, pelvic organs, and various groups of lymph nodes are involved in the tumor formation.

Materials and methods. In all patients, the chest and abdominal cavities, and the retroperitoneal space, were examined. Examinations were performed before and after chemoradiotherapy on 4­ and 64­slice CT scans.

Results. All diagnoses were verified histologically. The CT picture of extranodal manifestations in NHML is diverse and does not always have the full range of characteristic features. The majority of groups of affected enlarged lymph nodes formed large conglomerates, which were located at the gates of the liver, spleen, in parapancreatic tissue, along large vascular structures, aorta, inferior vena cava and portal veins.

Conclusions. CT is one of the leading methods for diagnosing NHML. Its high information content allows recommending SCT as the main method for diagnosing affected lymph nodes (inside the thoracic and abdominal) and parenchymal organs.
