CT manifestations of cervical non Hodgkin lymphoma in AIDS

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate CT findings of cervical Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in AIDS patients. Methods To collect 10 cases of NHL in the cervical of AIDS patients in Nanning Fourth People's Hospital from January 2014 to June 2017 as observation group, and 20 cases of NHL in the cervical of non-AIDS patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were collected as control group. Results The maximum diameter of lymph nodes in AIDS patients with cervical NHL (6.88 ±3.19 )cm was larger than that of non AIDS patients with cervical NHL (4.33 ±2.33 )cm, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 2.495, P = 0.019). The difference of lymph node density and boundary between the two groups was statistically significant (Fisher exact test, P = 0.019, 0.045). Lymph node fusion (Fisher exact test, P = 1.000) and enhanced scan enhancement (χ²= 1.069, P = 0.586) were not statistically significant. Conclusion The diameter of lymph nodes of AIDS combined with cervical NHL was usually larger (6.88 ±3.19 )cm and more necrotic, and usually AIDS patients have poor prognosis.
