Computed tomography in renal lymphoma.

W A Chilcote, G P Borkowski

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) effectively reveals renal lymphoma characteristics. Lesions evolve from nodular to confluent, with specific attenuation patterns aiding diagnosis and prognosis assessment, especially with contrast enhancement.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Renal lymphoma is a rare but significant condition.
    • Accurate imaging is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the computed tomographic (CT) features of renal lymphoma.
    • To assess CT's utility in prognosis and therapy response evaluation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 15 renal lymphoma cases.
    • Evaluation of lesion morphology, attenuation values (pre- and post-contrast).

    Main Results:

    • Renal lesions initially appear nodular, progressing to confluent masses.
    • Attenuation values vary based on lymphoma subtype (histiocytic, Hodgkin) and contrast administration.
    • CT demonstrates potential for assessing treatment response.

    Conclusions:

    • CT provides valuable insights into renal lymphoma characteristics.
    • Contrast-enhanced CT is recommended for comprehensive evaluation.
    • Imaging findings correlate with tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes.
