    Computed tomography (CT) reveals characteristic hypodense lymph nodes with peripheral enhancement in periportal tuberculous adenitis. Recognizing these CT findings aids in diagnosing this condition, particularly in at-risk individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Periportal tuberculous adenitis is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on identifying characteristic imaging features.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze the computed tomographic (CT) morphologic features of periportal tuberculous adenitis.
    • To correlate CT findings with potential pathologic stages of the disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of CT scans from six patients diagnosed with periportal tuberculous adenitis.
    • Analysis of lymph node characteristics, including density and enhancement patterns post-contrast administration.

    Main Results:

    • All six patients exhibited hypodense periportal lymph nodes with peripheral enhancement.

  • One patient also showed associated homogeneous, normally enhancing lymph nodes.
  • These findings suggest potential evolving pathologic stages from noncaseating granulomas to caseation necrosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hypodense periportal lymph nodes with peripheral enhancement are key CT findings in tuberculous adenitis.
    • These imaging features can indicate the disease's progression.
    • Recognition of these CT signs is crucial for timely and accurate diagnosis, especially in patients with risk factors for tuberculosis.
