Overview
In lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, CT scan imaging of chest, abdomen, and pelvis may show evidences of lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly.
CT scan
- CT scan imaging with IV contrast of chest, abdomen, and pelvis can be done to measure the tumor load.[1]
- 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.
