Primary cervical lymphoma is extremely rare. The clinical and imaging findings of three patients at initial presentation and at follow-up are described. A posttreatment residual mass was evident in all three patients when imaged by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound (US). Gallium 67 scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), however, demonstrated interval resolution of disease activity with residual fibrotic mass. We conclude that patients with this rare tumor may be better followed with gallium 67 scintigraphy or MRI, as these modalities more accurately reflect the disease activity of residual tumor bulk.
原发性宫颈淋巴瘤极为罕见。本文描述了3例患者初次就诊及随访时的临床和影像学表现。在通过计算机断层扫描(CT)或超声(US)成像时,所有3例患者均可见治疗后残留肿块。然而,镓67闪烁扫描和磁共振成像(MRI)显示疾病活动有间隔期消退,仅残留纤维化肿块。我们得出结论,对于这种罕见肿瘤的患者,采用镓67闪烁扫描或MRI进行随访可能更好,因为这些检查方式能更准确地反映残留肿瘤体积的疾病活动情况。
