CT Findings of Lymphoepithelioid Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report

Abstract

10 3 /μL). A physical examination revealed palpable and tender multifocal lumps. Percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed reactive lymphoid cells on a histopathological examination. Neck, chest, and abdominal CT scans were obtained to evaluate nodal involvement. Neck and chest CT showed multiple enlarged lymph nodes in cervical, supraclavicular, and both axillary and mediastinal areas. Abdominal CT showed a heterogeneous enhancing mesenteric mass and multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the mesentery and both inguinal areas. Nodal involvement was most predominant in the cervical area. A chest CT showed no abnormalities in either lung. The tentative radiologic diagnoses were tuberculous or metastatic lymphadenopathy, because some of the nodal images showed central low attenuation with rim enhancement, which represents central necrosis
