Atypical abdominal paediatric lymphangiomatosis: diagnosis aided by diffusion-weighted MRI

Paul D Humphries et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2006 Aug.

Abstract

We report a 4-year-old child with a mesenteric mass, which on ultrasound, CT and conventional MRI appeared solid, raising lymphoma as a possible diagnosis. Diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI), however, suggested a low-cellularity lesion, making lymphoma less likely. Biopsy confirmed lymphangioma. DW-MRI may be a useful adjunct to conventional imaging, even in the abdomen.
