Abstract

Lymphomas represent about 5% of all malignant neoplasms of the head and neck area. Frequently, lymphoma is not limited to the head and neck region, but also involves other parts of the body. The workup of a patient with lymphoma requires a multidisciplinary approach. This chapter approaches lymphoma as a systemic disease describing the imaging workup of patients with newly diagnosed head and neck lymphoma. This includes discussion of commonly applied imaging techniques such as chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and metabolic imaging (PET-CT). Both nodal disease and non-nodal lymphoma manifestations (e.g., in Waldeyer’s ring, larynx, orbit, lacrimal gland, parotid gland, sinonasal cavities, thyroid, and bone) are discussed and illustrated with examples from daily practice. Frequently, imaging findings are nonspecific. However, some imaging patterns can suggest the diagnosis of lymphoma.
