A member asked:
Can a ct scan detect lymphoma? i know it cannot tell you what type you have, but can a ct scan with contrast tell you if your lymph nodes are malignant or if you have lymphoma?

I answered this question before. Node biopsy or resection for pathology has to be done for the diagnosis of malignant node or lymphoma. Along with other clinical symptoms, signs and laboratory results, CT findings may suggest the diagnosis of lymphoma but it is not conclusive without pathology.
