Abstract

Hodgkin lymphoma is a neoplasia that is characterized with classical Reed- Sternberg cells. It usually involves intratoracic region but it can be also seen in bone, head and neck, central nerve system, thymus, thorax wall, heart and abdomen as extrathoracic involvement. In this study, we aimed to present magnetic resonance imaging findings of a 61-year-old male patient with a huge mass in his upper thigh mimicking a soft tissue tumor but diagnosed histopathologically as Hodgkin lymphoma. Ultrasonography is useful in determining malignant/benign nature of a mass and its vascularity but magnetic resonance imaging serves better in delineating the extension of the tumor through the neighbourhood compartments, enhancement characteristics and its differential diagnoses. Lymphoma is characterized by enlarging lymph nodes in a shape of a grape bunch in the place from the inguinal region to pelvis near the vascular structures as seen in our case. It also should be kept in mind of indolent and atypical infections in the differential diagnosis of lymphoma.

Özet

Hodgkin lenfoma klasik Reed-Sternberg hücreleri ile karakterize bir neoplazidir. Genellikle intratorasik yerleşim göstermekle birlikte, toraks dışında kemik, baş ve boyun, santral sinir sistemi, timus, göğüs duvarı, kalp ve batında da görülebilir. Bu çalışmada uyluk üst kesiminde dev bir yumuşak doku tümörünü taklit eden, ancak histopatolojik olarak Hodgkin lenfoma tanısı konan 61 yaşındaki erkek hastadaki manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularını sunmayı amaçladık. Ultrasonografi kitlenin malign/benign doğasını ve damarlanmasını saptamada yararlı iken, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme tümörün komşu kompartmanlar boyunca uzanımını, kontrastlanma özelliklerini ve ayırıcı tanıyı ortaya koymada daha faydalıdır. Lenfoma büyümüş lenf nodlarının, bizim olgumuzda görüldüğü gibi, inguinal bölgeden vasküler yapıları takip ederek pelvise doğru üzüm salkımı şeklindeki büyümesiyle karakterlidir. İndolan ve atipik enfeksiyonlar da lenfomanın ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalıdır.
