Multimodality imaging findings of infection-induced tumors

Moataz Soliman et al. Abdom Radiol (NY). 2022 Nov.

Abstract

Several infections can predispose to certain malignancies in different body parts. These infections include viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens. Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis, staging, and management of these neoplastic conditions. Furthermore, it can help in differentiating infection-related non-neoplastic processes that can mimic malignancies. Both radiologists and clinicians should be familiar with these conditions. This review discusses the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and imaging features of infection-related tumors.

Keywords: Imaging findings; Oncogenic infections; Pathogenesis; Tumors.
