Table 1 Number, distribution, diameter, and CT findings of enlarged lymph nodes in different regions
From: Disseminated lymph node tuberculosis after splenectomy: an unusual case report in an adolescent
Region | Number (count) | Size of lymph node (mm), short-axis diameter × long-axis diameter | CT value (plain/contrast-enhanced) | CT findings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Right cervical region | 4–5 | 24.1 × 12.3 | 71/89 | Liquefaction in the adhesion and fusion regions of cervical lymph nodes |
Right supraclavicular region | 1 | 25.1 × 14.2 | 46/70 | Necrosis in the center of the lymph node |
Anterior mediastinum | >10 | 40.1 × 36.6 | 40/86 | Necrosis in the adhesion and fusion regions of lymph nodes |
Posterior mediastinum | >10 | 37.2 × 47.3 | 48/95 | Inhomogeneous density in the adhesion and fusion regions of lymph nodes |
Left axilla | 5–6 | 27.1 × 23.3 | 36/70 | Necrosis in the adhesion and fusion regions of lymph nodes |
