A practical radiology review of Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Imaging Spectrum and Staging Pearls, focused on imaging findings, differential diagnosis, reporting points, and high-yield teaching pearls.
Overview
NHL = 7% of pediatric malignancies.
CAYA (Children, Adolescents, Young Adults) → distinct subtypes, presentations, outcomes.
Osteonecrosis → hypermetabolic false-positive bone focus post-therapy.
Key Pearls
WB MRI = effective radiation-free staging tool.
Pediatric NHL = predominantly extranodal; beware mimics (infection, IBD, sarcoma).
Rapid diagnosis critical due to aggressive histologies but good chemo-sensitivity.
PET/MRI & DWI emerging as future standards for pediatric lymphoma follow-up.
