“…Malignant ascites is found in 25% of cases of abdominal Burkitt lymphoma, and the diagnosis may be established on the basis of analysis of ascitic fluid. Enlarged abdominal lymph nodes may be seen (91,104,105), and lymphomatous masses may invade adjacent organs. Lesions that arise in the kidneys, ovaries, and breasts are not uncommon (106)(107)(108)(109).…”

Intraperitoneal solid tumors are far less common in children than in adults, and the histologic spectrum of neoplasms of the peritoneum and its specialized folds in young patients differs from that in older patients. Localized masses may be caused by inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, Castleman disease, mesenteric fibromatosis, or other mesenchymal masses. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a mesenchymal tumor of borderline biologic potential that appears as a solitary circumscribed mass, possibly with central calcification. Castleman disease is an idiopathic lymphoproliferative disorder that appears as a circumscribed, intensely enhancing mass in the mesentery. Mesenteric fibromatosis, or intra-abdominal desmoid tumor, is a benign tumor of mesenchymal origin associated with familial adenomatous polyposis. Mesenteric fibromatosis appears as a mildly enhancing, circumscribed solitary mass without metastases. Diffuse peritoneal disease may be due to desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma. DSRCT is a rare member of the small round blue cell tumor family that causes diffuse peritoneal masses without a visible primary tumor. A dominant mass is typically found in the retrovesical space. Burkitt lymphoma is a pediatric tumor that manifests with extensive disease because of its short doubling time. The bowel and adjacent mesentery are commonly involved. Rhabdomyosarcoma may arise as a primary tumor of the omentum or may spread from a primary tumor in the bladder, prostate, or scrotum. Knowledge of this spectrum of disease allows the radiologist to provide an appropriate differential diagnosis and suggest proper patient management.

“…Bowel perforation with free air is rarely seen (98). On contrast fluoroscopy studies, infiltrative masses may cause luminal narrowing or mass effect, particularly at the ileocecal junction (104). At US, tumors appear as large hypoechoic masses, which may engulf bowel or mesenteric vessels (92).…”

The sonographic manifestations of 20 childhood abdominal biopsy-proved lymphomas were presented. Thirteen cases showed positive renal sonographic findings such as renomegaly, hyperechoic renal cortex, focal hypoechoic mass and hydronephrosis. The incidence of renal involvement was high in lymphoma detected by ultrasound. There was no difference between sonographic findings of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The ultrasound findings may be confirmed with gallium scanning. Ultrasound was more accurate in detecting renal lesions in lymphoma than computed tomography.

Background: Malignant lymphomas (ML) are often complicated by serous effusions.The present study is an attempt to cytologically assess a large series of serous effusions associated with ML, identify the immunoreactivity of cells and to evaluate the role of various ancillary methods in confirming and subtyping these cases. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 4612 serous effusions was undertaken at the Department of Cytology, Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute by retrieving data from the year 2015 to 2017. Total 169 cases of ML, clinically suspicious, were included. All cerebrospinal fluids, serous effusions involved by myeloid neoplasms, and cases of primary effusion lymphomas were excluded from our study. Pap stained smears of all these serous effusions were examined. Ancillary methods such as immunohistochemistry were used to further subtype the positive cases using the WHO classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms (2016). Results: Out of total 169 clinically suspicious cases, 109 cases were cytologically positive for ML which included 73 (66.9%) pleural effusions, 34 (31.1%) ascitic fluids, and 2 (1.8%) pericardial effusions. T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (36.9%) and Burkitt's lymphoma (38.2%) were the most common ML involving the pleural and ascitic fluids respectively. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) more frequently involved the serous cavities than Hodgkin's lymphoma. (P value <.0001). Among the NHL, T-cell lymphomas more commonly lead to serous effusions than B-cell lymphomas (P value <.0048). Conclusion: Cytological examination of serous effusions is an accurate, prompt, affordable technique having diagnostic and therapeutic implications. With the help of ancillary methods, we can identify the phenotype of cells, classify as well as confirm our diagnosis. K E Y W O R D S immunohistochemistry, malignant lymphomas, serous effusions
