Mediastinal adenopathy in Hodgkin lymphoma (HD) follows a predictable pattern, while non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) presents unpredictably. CT scans are crucial for staging both HD and NHL, aiding treatment planning.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Mediastinal adenopathy is common in Hodgkin lymphoma (HD), typically affecting anterior and middle nodes.
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) shows more unpredictable patterns of intrathoracic involvement.
  • Lung, pleural, pericardial, and chest wall manifestations vary between HD and NHL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the distinct patterns of intrathoracic disease in HD and NHL.
  • To evaluate the role of imaging modalities in staging and managing these lymphomas.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging findings (chest radiograph, CT, MRI) in patients with HD and NHL.
  • Correlation of imaging patterns with disease characteristics and treatment.

Main Results:

  • HD characteristically involves anterior/middle mediastinal and hilar nodes.
  • NHL can present with diverse lung, pleural, and chest wall involvement, including nodules and direct invasion.
  • CT is essential for accurate staging in HD, particularly for radiotherapy planning.
  • CT is also valuable for NHL staging, especially for pleural and chest wall disease.
  • MRI offers limited additional benefit except in specific cases.

Conclusions:

  • Imaging patterns differ significantly between HD and NHL, impacting diagnosis and staging.
  • CT imaging is a critical tool for comprehensive staging and treatment guidance in both HD and NHL.
  • Radiographic detection is high, but CT provides necessary detail for complex cases and treatment planning.
