Overview

In Waldenström macroglobulinemia, 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]
  • Waldenström's macroglobulinemia 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.
