    Computed tomography (CT) revealed large para-aortic masses in 59 patients. Lymphoma was the cause in 54% of cases, with specific imaging features aiding diagnosis and guiding biopsy choices.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Para-aortic masses detected via computed tomography (CT) can represent various pathologies.
    • Differentiating between malignant and benign causes is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the etiology of large para-aortic masses identified by CT.
    • To identify imaging characteristics that differentiate lymphoma from other causes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 59 patients with large para-aortic masses on CT.
    • Correlation of imaging findings with histopathological diagnoses and clinical history.

    Main Results:

    • Lymphoma was identified in 54% (32/59) of patients with para-aortic masses.

  • Confluent masses were more common in lymphoma (69%), while nodularity was also observed.
  • Aortic displacement and mesenteric lymphadenopathy were highly suggestive of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • CT is valuable in evaluating para-aortic masses, with lymphoma being a frequent cause.
    • Specific imaging patterns, including aortic displacement, aid in diagnosing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    • These findings assist in selecting appropriate biopsy techniques for accurate diagnosis.
