Overview
In lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, CT scan imaging of chest, abdomen, and pelvis may show evidences of lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly. CT of the lungs or abdomen can also be diagnostic for infection, which is particularly relevant to immunocompromised patients.
CT scan
- CT scan imaging with IV contrast of chest, abdomen, and pelvis can be done to measure the tumor load.[1][2]
- Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma shows evidence of lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly.[1]
- CT of the lungs or abdomen can also be diagnostic for infection, which is particularly relevant to immunocompromised patients.
