“…The enlargement of lymph nodes can be caused by several conditions, including systemic infection or inflammation, infiltration of the neoplasm, and proliferation of lymphocytes [ 7 , 8 ]. Patients with enlarged peripheral lymph nodes and associated systemic symptoms should be evaluated for lymphoid malignancies [ 9 ].…”

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), also known as fever, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia syndrome, is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease in Asian countries. SFTS should be suspected in patients presenting with fever, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia and have a history of tick exposure in an endemic area. Since SFTS can be accompanied by lymphadenopathy, particularly generalized lymphadenopathy, it can be confused with a primary malignancy, such as lymphoma. The study reports a case of SFTS accompanied by multiple lymphadenopathies, which mimicked malignant lymphoma on F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for cervical abnormal lymph nodes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 150 patients undergoing lymph node examinations at Hangzhou Chest Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. According to the characteristics of lymph nodes, the patients were divided into three groups: 45 patients had hyperplastic lymph nodes (HLNs; Group-A), 55 had lymph node tuberculosis (LNTB; Group-B), 50 had metastatic lymph nodes (MLN; Group-C). We compared the ultrasonic examination and MRI results between the groups, and compared the diagnostic value of CEUS alone and CEUS plus MRI. Results: Lower resistance indexes (RI) for Groups-A and B than Group-C(P<0.05). Mixed blood flow type was predominant in Group-A, while the lymphohilum type was predominant in Group-B, and the marginal type was predominant in Group-C(P<0.05). The proportion of non-uniform types in Group-B was significantly higher than that in Groups-A and C(P<0.05). After enhancement, the proportions of non-uniform types in Groups-A and B were higher than Group-C(P<0.05). The results of MRI examination showed that positive reinforcement integral (PEI) and maximum slope of increase (MSI) values increased sequentially from Group-B to Group-A, and then to Group-C(P<0.05); while time to peak (TTP) values increased sequentially from Group-C to Group-A, and then to Group-B(P<0.05). The diagnosis accuracy of CEUS combined with MRI was significantly higher than that of CEUS alone(P<0.05). RI-PEI, RI-MSI, and RI-TTP showed high specificity and sensitivity in the diagnosis and differentiation of HLNs, LNTB, and MLNs(P<0.05). Conclusion: CEUS combined with MRI can significantly facilitate the differential diagnosis between HLNs, LNTB, and MLNs. The two diagnosis methods combined improve the diagnosis accuracy of cervical lymph node diseases. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.4.7572 How to cite this: Yu X, Zhang W, He N, Su D, Zhao Y.

“…A CT scan of the chest and neck were performed and demonstrated prominent thoracic LAD and the CT neck demonstrated diffuse cervical LAD and symmetric prominence of the submandibular and parotid glands. Some of the more common underlying causes of cervical lymphadenopathy include malignancy (lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, metastatic malignancy), infection (viral, bacterial, fungal), autoimmune disease, hyperthyroidism, sarcoidosis, medication-induced, and many more [18]. Cholecystectomy was deferred pending further evaluation of LAD.…”

Mantle Cell Lymphoma Presenting as Cholecystitis and Nephromegaly

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) most commonly presents as lymphadenopathy (LAD), fevers, night sweats, weight loss, splenomegaly, and blood count abnormalities. While extranodal involvement as an initial presentation can occur, it is uncommon. At initial diagnosis, MCL most commonly presents as widespread, advanced stage III or IV lymphoma. Given advanced stage MCL at presentation, it is important for medical practitioners to recognize unusual extranodal presentations of MCL for earlier diagnosis and treatment planning. Here, we present a case of MCL initially presenting as cholecystitis and bilateral nephromegaly in a 53-year-old male patient.
