“…23 According to Adonis Manzella et al the nodules are of low attenuation on plain CT and may show minimal enhancement. 24 Thus, triple phase CT has high accuracy of diagnosing a hepatic mass by triphasic CT-96.5%, value corresponding with Chauhan U et al, study. 25 It is …”

“…Associated findings include air bronchograms, angiogram signs or a halo of ground‐glass opacity at the lesion margin . Although mesenteric lymphadenopathy is often found in non‐Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the overall extrapulmonary nodal involvement is only 6% in pulmonary EMZBL . In the present case, the chest CT scan showed a mass‐like lesion with a halo of marginal ground‐glass opacity in the left suprahilar area, another similar but smaller one in the anterior segment of right upper lobe, and one consolidative lesion with air bronchogram in the left inferior lingula.…”

“…In advanced cases, bone marrow involvement can occur and is found in 13%–30% of cases . Mesenteric lymphadenopathy in non‐Hodgkin’s lymphoma is about 45% with only 6% extrapulmonary nodal involvement, including abdominal lymphadenopathy, reported in pulmonary EMZBL, which is a subtype of non‐Hodgkin’s lymphoma . Imaging diagnosis is challenging because many benign and other malignant lung lesions can display similar features .…”

Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZBL), previously known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, is the most common type of marginal zone B-cell lymphomas. Primary pulmonary lymphomas only constitute 0.5% of primary lung cancer, but 90% of these are EMZBLs. Primary pulmonary lymphomas share similar imaging features with secondary pulmonary lymphomas. Imaging diagnosis is challenging because many benign and other malignant lung lesions can display similar features. Here, we demonstrate a 70-year-old male case with lung tumors and only mesenteric lymphadenopathy, which was eventually diagnosed as advanced pulmonary EMZBL with involvement of the mesenteric lymph nodes and bone marrow. Pulmonary masses have a wide differential diagnosis, but concurrent isolated mesenteric lymphadenopathy might be a radiological clue to pulmonary lymphoma.

Abstract:Characterizing a hepatic lesion as benign or malignant is very essential for correct therapeutic plan and surgical triage. USG plays crucial role in screening of a liver lesion. The aim is to study the characteristics of various hepatic lesions using USG, differentiating benign hepatic lesions from malignant and correlating features of USG findings with clinical, histopathology or post-operative findings. This is cross sectional hospital based study of 100 patients with clinical suspicion of liver pathology and hepatic masses. All patients underwent ultrasonography examination with subsequent follow up, histopathology correlation and accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for evaluation of hepatic lesions were calculated. Statistical analysis was done using computer software (SPSS IBM version 20).Qualitative data were expressed in proportion and percentages and quantitative data expressed as mean and standard deviations. Difference in proportion was analysed by using chi square test and difference in means were analysed by using student T Test [unpaired]. Significance level for tests was determined as 95%. Thus difference was significant if p <0.05. USG proved to be a good screening modality with a sensitivity of 82.7% , specificity 95.6 % , PPV 82.7 % and NPV 95.6 % (p value <0.001 , kappa value 0.678) . Malignant hepatic lesions can be diagnosed by USG with accuracy of 87 %, sensitivity and specificity of 90 % and 82.5 % respectively and PPV and NPV of 88.5 % and 84.6 % respectively. Ultrasonography must be performed in all patients with clinical suspicion of hepatic masses, for initial detection and localisation of lesions. It has high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity to characterize a lesion as benign or malignant. Also it is widely available, less expensive and with no radiation exposure.
