Overview

There are no CT scan findings associated with Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome(ALPS). However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of ALPS, as lymphoma.

CT

There are no CT scan findings associated with ALPS. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of lymphoma in patients with ALPS.Findings in chest CT of ALPS patients are

• Ground glass opacity
• Larger lung nodules
• Tree in bud nodules
• Bronchiectasis
• Septal thickening
• Alvelolitis
• Lymphocytic infiltrate

(A and C) Axial and (B and D) coronal computed tomographic scans show ill-defined, diffuse ground-glass nodules (blue ovals),in a patient with ALPS which are common in fungal infection, in the lower lobes.
