lymphoma of kidney. Axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted fast spin-echo
(B), axial T1-weighted fast spin-echo (C), and axial
gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted fast spin-echo (D)
images show T2 hyperintense and T1 hypointense mass that mildly enhances with
IV gadolinium (arrow). Arrowheads indicate calyceal diverticulum with
dependent calculi.

Fig. 13 —70-year-old man with histologically proven large B-cell
lymphoma involving testes. Longitudinal sonogram shows large, hypoechoic,
circumscribed mass in left testis (arrowheads). Multiple smaller but

Fig. 18A —57-year-old woman with peritoneal lymphomatosis. (Courtesy of
Henderson R, Los Angeles, CA) Axial unenhanced CT image shows ascites that is
similar in attenuation to adjacent muscle. Linear bands of soft-tissue
attenuation run through mesenteric fat, indicating tumor infiltration
(arrowheads) that causes tethering of small bowel.

Fig. 19A —54-year-old man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving
retroperitoneum, abdominal wall, and lumbar spine. Axial T2-weighted fast
spin-echo image shows large right-sided retroperitoneal mass (arrows)
that infiltrates paravertebral muscle (M), causes adjacent L1 vertebral
destruction (arrowhead), and extends into epidural space to displace
cauda equina. Right kidney (K) is anteriorly displaced.
