Abstract:
We report the case of a 42-year-old patient referred to our department for the examination of two large, symmetrical inguinal lumps. The ultrasound examination of the swollen lymph node demonstrated a cortical echogenicity greater than the medullary echogenicity, and the vascularization stop around the cortical zone suggested a pathological pattern of mantle cell lymphoma. In this type of lymphoma, lymphocytes are localized in a mantle zone, inducing a thickening of the lumps. Therefore, for the first time, ultrasound examination detected sonographic vascular features of mantle cell lymphoma, allowing the identification of the disease and suggesting the specific histological diagnosis.
