The malignant lymphomas have many similarities, both pathologically and radiographically. The several unique or unusual features of these neoplasms should be kept in mind to identify their radiographic patterns of presentation. The radiologist confronted with the responsibility of evaluating a person with a known lymphoma should design his study and bias his opinion based on a thorough knowledge of the type and clinical stage of the tumor, as well as the treatment status of the patient.
