Objective:
To assess the diagnostic value of ultrasound for extranodal lymphoma in children.
Methods:
In this retrospective study, the first diagnostic clinical manifestation, ultrasound sonograms, and puncture pathology of 40 cases of pediatric lymphoma treated in Xi'an Children's Hospital from August 2018 to March 2020 were analyzed.
Results:
The first diagnostic clinical manifestation varied from jaundice to gastrointestinal, motor, neurological, respiratory, circulatory skin, and soft tissue multisystem disorders. The intranodal ultrasound results showed abnormally enlarged lymph nodes with extranodal involvement of the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney, ovaries, and mediastinum as hypoechoic masses with multiple plasma cavity effusions, and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) results showed abundant blood flow signals in the lesions. The pathological diagnosis by ultrasound-guided puncture was Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple subtypes.
Conclusion:
Routine ultrasound can provide an imaging basis for early identification and differential diagnosis of lymphoma, and ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy is simple, minimally invasive, and histopathological-based.
