The purpose of this article is to review the imaging features, particularly on MR images, useful in identifying primary gynecologic lymphoma.
Primary gynecologic lymphoma is rare. Nonetheless, the distinction between primary and secondary involvement is important because of critical differences in prognosis and treatment. The prospective diagnosis of primary gynecologic lymphoma enables immediate chemotherapy or radiation therapy and avoids unnecessary surgery, which delays treatment. Diagnostic imaging can be key in differentiating lymphoma from the far more common pelvic malignancies.
本文旨在回顾有助于识别原发性妇科淋巴瘤的影像学特征,尤其是磁共振成像(MRI)特征。
原发性妇科淋巴瘤较为罕见。然而,由于原发性和继发性疾病在预后和治疗方面存在显著差异,因此区分原发性和继发性疾病非常重要。原发性妇科淋巴瘤的前瞻性诊断可使患者立即接受化疗或放疗,避免因不必要的手术而延误治疗。诊断性影像学检查对于鉴别淋巴瘤与更为常见的盆腔恶性肿瘤非常关键。
