The ultrasonographic spectrum of abdominal and pelvic Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Abstract

Diagnostic B-scan ultrasonography has the capacity to evaluate many potential sites of abdominal and pelvic involvement by Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The varying ultrasonographic features of lymphomatous involvement in the peritoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space are described and potential diagnostic pitfalls are discussed.
