Key result
Concurrent isolated mesenteric lymphadenopathy might serve as a radiological clue for diagnosing pulmonary lymphoma in patients with nonspecific lung tumors.
Why the study?
Imaging diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma is challenging because benign and other malignant lung lesions often share similar radiological features.
Population
A 70-year-old male with lung tumors and mesenteric lymphadenopathy

May aid diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma via abdominal CT; leaves open validation in larger cohorts.
Case Report (n=1)
Concurrent isolated mesenteric lymphadenopathy on abdominal CT can serve as a crucial radiological clue for diagnosing pulmonary lymphoma in patients with nonspecific lung tumors.
Lu et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Pulmonary lymphoma (Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma) (n=1). Concurrent isolated mesenteric lymphadenopathy was evaluated on Diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma. Concurrent isolated mesenteric lymphadenopathy might serve as a radiological clue for diagnosing pulmonary lymphoma in patients with nonspecific lung tumors.
