MRI-based differentiation between lymphoma and sarcoidosis in mediastinal lymph nodes

Abstract: Objetivo: A avaliação de linfonodomegalias mediastinais é crucial para o manejo dos pacientes. O linfoma maligno e a sarcoidose costumam ser difíceis de diferenciar. Nosso objetivo foi determinar a precisão diagnóstica da RMN para diferenciar sarcoidose de linfoma maligno. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo com 47 pacientes submetidos a RMN de tórax e diagnosticados com uma das doenças entre 2017 e 2019. Foi medida a intensidade do sinal em T1, T2 e difusão. Foram calculados o coeficiente de difusão aparente (ADC, … Show more

“…Also, intrapulmonary nodules were mostly seen in the middle and upper lungs, mostly distributed along the bronchovascular bundle, and reticular nodules with irregular shapes of 2–5 mm were the most common type of nodules [ 16 ]. These enhanced lymph node characteristics were basically the same as those in the study of He Yu et al [ 17 ]. Because CT is noninvasive, easy to perform, and highly repeatable, it has obvious diagnostic value for patients with early pulmonary sarcoidosis.…”

“…However, subsequent studies have found that mean ADC values overlap in pathological and normal lymph nodes (24,25). In some studies about mediastinal lymph nodes, ADC values were found to be significantly lower in lymphoma than in sarcoidosis (26,27). Differentiation of lymphoma subgroups (NHL, HL) could not be achieved in most studies (14,28,29).…”

“…Nearly the same results were encountered by Santos and colleagues in 2021 where the mean ADC was significantly lower in the lymphoma group than in the sarcoidosis group (0.993 ± 0.508 × 10 −3 mm 2 /s vs. 1.668 ± 0.732 × 10 −3 mm 2 /s; p = 0.002). The ADC cutoff value that best differentiated between lymphoma-related and sarcoidosis-related enlarged lymph nodes was 1.205, with a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of 87.5%, 82.6%, 85.1%, 84.0% and 86.3%, respectively [15]. 2012) reported the lymph nodes' appearance on the DW-MRI and ADC maps.…”
