Primary mesenteric lymphoma is a disease of the mesenteric lymph nodes that may represent a localized process or a component of a more disseminated pattern of disease.The case refers to a woman of 78 years, that was studied by ultrasound examination after accidental finding of abdominal mass. The examination confirmed the presence of the lesion; it defined the place (peritoneum) and the features (neoplastic lesion). Computer tomography (CT) confirmed the ultrasound diagnosis and showed an additional smaller lesion. The cytology exam from the CT biopsy showed to be a follicular lymphoma B. This case confirms the ultrasound examination role in the study of peritoneal lesions and underlines how a proper diagnostic process is essential for therapy.
原发性肠系膜淋巴瘤是一种肠系膜淋巴结疾病，可能表现为局限性病变或更广泛疾病模式的一部分。该病例涉及一名78岁女性，在意外发现腹部肿块后接受了超声检查。检查证实了病变的存在；确定了病变位置（腹膜）和特征（肿瘤性病变）。计算机断层扫描（CT）证实了超声诊断，并显示了另一个较小的病变。CT活检的细胞学检查显示为B细胞滤泡性淋巴瘤。该病例证实了超声检查在腹膜病变研究中的作用，并强调了正确的诊断过程对治疗至关重要。
