Chapter 9 · Hematology
Amyloidosis in the head and neck region usually mani-
fests as vocal cord thickening causing hoarseness of the
voice, tongue intrinsic muscles deposition causing macroglossia, supra- and subglottic larynx, and periorbital deposition causing bleeding and ecchymoses (the raccoon sign).
Amyloidosis of the paranasal sinuses can be seen as a sinusoidal mass with “ u y-bone appearance” of the adjacent
bone.
Signs on Plain Radiographs
5 Pulmonary amyloidosis can be seen as a diffuse
interstitial nodular pattern or (rarely) as a single
solitary mass (amyloidoma) (. Fig. 9.9.43 ).
5 When an amyloidoma involves a bone, it is usually
visualized as an osteolytic mass lesion.
5 Dialysis-related amyloid arthropathy is detected as
periarticular bony cysts or erosions.

Signs on US
5 Amyloidosis is one of the rare cases of enlarged
kidneys with high echogenicity.
5 Hepatic amyloidosis may appear as multiple foci of
increased liver parenchymal echogenicity.
Signs on CT and MRI
5 The affected kidney is normal or larger than
normal in early stages of amyloidosis. In later
stages, renal fibrosis shrinkage with parenchymal
calcification is often seen.
5 Hepatic amyloidosis can be seen on nonenhanced CT
as a di usely enlarged liver with hypoattenuation.
Other radiological signs are nonspeci c.
5 Splenic manifestations of amyloidosis include
splenomegaly, calcification, and lack of
enhancement after contrast injection. The lack of
contrast enhancement is thought to be due to
vascular amyloid angiopathy and diffuse
parenchymal infiltration by amyloid proteins.
5 Small and large bowel involvement results in
diffuse or nodular wall thickening.
5 Cardiac amyloidosis can show many nonspecific
findings, such as biventricular hypertrophy that
mimics hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(. Fig. 9.9.44 ), thickening of the papillary muscles
and the valvular leaflets, and pleural or pericardial
effusion. Biatrial enlargement and enhancement is
a characteristic sign, but unfortunately not always
seen. On MRI, a relatively characteristic pattern of
myocardial amyloidosis seen on postgadolinium
injection consists of strong subendocardial and
subepicardial late enhancement (zebra
enhancement pattern) (. Fig. 9.9.45 ).

5 Pulmonary amyloidosis on HRCT may resemble the
features of bronchiolitis obliterans, may diffuse
interstitial nodular pattern (nodules <15mm in
diameter) which may cause a “budding tree”
appearance, or may (rarely) present as a solitary
solid mass with calcification (amyloidoma)
(. Fig. 9.9.43 ). Tracheal and bronchial wall
thickening are other characteristic signs of
amyloidosis of the bronchial tree.
5 Paranasal sinuses amyloidoma is seen as a mass
with “ u y-bone appearance” of the adjacent bone.
However, a biopsy is required to con rm diagnosis.
5 On MRI, synovial thickening that resembles
pigmented villonodular synovitis can be seen, which
characteristically lacks the chronic hemorrhage and
hemosiderin T1 and T2 hypointense signal intensities.
5 Amyloid proteins on MRI typically show low T1 and
T2 signal intensities and contrast enhancement.
Therefore, signs of high signal intensity on T2W
images in amyloidosis are usually due to the
in ammatory reaction evoked by the amyloidosis,
not by the amyloid proteins themselves.
5 Cerebral amyloidosis may present on
noncontrast-enhanced CT as intracranial
hemorrhage due to CAA or (rarely) diffuse
leptomeningeal thickening and enhancement.
5 Amyloidoma in any body region is usually seen as a
solid tissue mass that may cause bone osteolysis
and contains calci cation. However, this
appearance is nonspeci c, and biopsy is crucial to
establish the diagnosis.
5 Dialysis-related amyloid arthropathy is detected on CT
as bony erosions and as formation of bony cysts. On
MRI, the amyloid changes are detected as thickening
and irregularity of the supraspinatus tendon,
thickening of the iliofemoral portion of the hip joint
capsule, and uid collection within the bursae of the
joints. Soft-tissue amyloid deposition can be seen in
the spine, carpal tunnel, and knee synovium as typical
low signal intensity on both T1W and T2W images.

Evans’ syndrome (ES) is a disease characterized by simultaneous development of autoimmune thrombocytopenia
(AITP) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA).
Patients with ES develop autoantibodies against erythrocytes, platelets, and neutrophils. ES o en presents with a
wide variety of clinical manifestations that include lymphoid
tissue hyperplasia, interstitial nephritis, eczema, and insulindependent diabetes mellitus. AITP and AIHA can be also the
rst signs of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Uncommonly, ES patients may present with progressive
dyspnea due to the formation of cryptogenic organizing
pneumonia. Neurological symptoms due to sagittal vein
thrombosis may occur.
Investigations show low platelet count, low hemoglobin,
neutropenia, and positive Coombs test. Radiology investigations are requested mainly to detect complications of the disease (. Fig. 9.10.46 ).

9.11 Other Lymphatic Disorders
is topic discusses some of the uncommon lymphatic disorders occasionally encountered in radiology and that can be
mistaken initially for lymphoma or in ammatory conditions
causing lymphadenopathy.
Castleman’s Disease (Angiofollicular Lymph
Node Hyperplasia)
Castleman disease (CD) is a rare benign process of unknown
cause, characterized by lymph nodes hyperplasia.
CD is liable to be misdiagnosed as other hypervascular
tumors by radiology and pathology examinations. Lymph
node hyperplasia may occur anywhere along the lymphatic
chain within the body; however, it is commonly described in
the mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis.
e main pathology in CD concerns lymph nodes hyperplasia and the related small blood vessels. e lymph nodes
are enlarged with high blood vessel proliferation and hypervascularity. CD is divided into two types: localized type and
di use type.
e localized type is characterized by proliferation of the
lymph nodes in a certain region within the body. Di erential
diagnoses of the localized type include tuberculosis lymphadenitis (ruled out by TB serology) and pheochromocytoma
due to its hypervascularity (rules out by biochemistry investigations). CD diagnosis should be considered in di erential
diagnosis of hypervascular tumor in the retroperitoneum.
e di use type is characterized by lymph node proliferation through the body. e main di erential diagnosis is
lymphoma. Lymph node biopsy is the gold standard method
to diagnose CD.
383
Signs on CT
5 There are enlarged lymph nodes located within
the mediastinum or the retroperitoneum
(. Figs. 9.11.47 and 9.11.48 ).
5 The lymph nodes in CD are characterized by
homogenous high-contrast enhancement in the
early phase of dynamic enhancement that can
exceed the enhancement of pheochromocytoma
due to the hypervascularity of the lymph nodes.
The high enhancement persists in the delayed
phases.
5 Typically, there is absence of necrosis or cystic
changes within the enlarged lymph nodes, due
to the abundant vascular supply. However, cystic
changes may be found in 22 % of cases,
especially when the lymph node is >5cm in
diameter.
5 Punctuate or coarse calcification may be seen in
30 % of cases (lymphomas do not calcify unless
treated).
5 A thin rim-like enhancement sign may be noticed
in the arterial phase, with several enhancing
feeding vessels that surround the nodes.
5 To differentiate CD from pheochromocytoma in the
retroperitoneum, MRI should be done.
Pheochromocytoma show higher signal intensity
on T2W images compared to
CD.Contrast-enhanced images may be similar due
to the high vascular blood supply of the lymph
nodes in CD.
5 CD shows higher contrast enhancement than any
other retroperitoneal sarcoma.

Kimura’s Disease
Kimura’s disease (KD) is a chronic in ammatory disease
characterized by tumor-like so -tissue swelling and lymphoid tissue hyperplasia (. Fig. 9.11.49 ).
KD is characterized histopathologically by lymphoid
hyperplasia with so -tissue in ltration by eosinophils, which
is a constant nding in this disease. e cause of this disease
is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by chronic allergic
reaction due to the eosinophilia and high serum immunoglobulin E in patients with KD.
KD has predominance in young males and is usually seen
in Asian populations, especially in Japan and China (80 %).
Patients o en present with asymptomatic, unilateral so tissue swelling involving lymph nodes or salivary glands
(e.g., the parotid glands). Regional lymphadenopathy is
found in 66 % of cases. e head and neck region is a ected
in 70 % of cases. Atopic disorders can be seen in patients with
KD.Rare manifestations include masses formation in the

lymph nodes separating the inferior vena cava from the aorta
( arrowhead )
external auditory meatus, tongue, orbits, epiglottis, larynx,
groin (15 %), and extremities (12 %). Nephrotic syndrome is
found in 12 % of cases.
De nite diagnosis requires mass biopsy with laboratory
evidence of eosinophilia that is not related to parasitic infection.
Kikuchi–Fujimoto Disease (Histiocytic
Necrotizing Lymphadenitis)
Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting condition, characterized by the development of fever, weight
loss, malaise, and lymphadenitis (commonly cervical).
KFD is o en mistaken for tuberculous lymphadenitis,
lymphoma, systemic lupus lymphadenitis, and infectious
lymphadenitis. e misdiagnosis rate is up to 40 % of
cases.
e disease is self-limiting and benign, with a course lasting 6–8 weeks. e recurrence rate is 3 % of cases. Laboratory
ndings are not speci c and usually show high C-reactive
protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, mild lymphocytosis, leukopenia, and atypical lymphocytes. De nite diagnosis is done by ne-needle lymph node biopsy.
e disease is of unknown origin, a ects mainly females
(mean age of 30 years), and may be associated with Epstein–
Barr virus activation and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Signs on CT
Neck and mediastinal CT often show lymphadenopathy
similar to the picture seen in lymphoma and tuberculous
adenitis. History, laboratory investigations, and the
biopsy report are the main elements for establishing the
diagnosis.

Signs on CT
5 When the salivary glands are affected, an
irregularly shaped subcutaneous mass with
heterogeneous contrast enhancement is
commonly found. The adjacent bone is often not
disturbed.
5 Enlargement of the lachrymal gland in a unilateral
or bilateral fashion, mimicking Sjögren’s syndrome,
may be seen.
5 Abdominal lymphadenopathy may be enlarged,
mimicking lymphoma or localized CD.
Signs on MRI
MR features are nonspeci c, and diagnosis is essentially
by laboratory investigation and biopsy. MR examination
helps to exclude other di erential diagnoses.

9.12 Mastocytosis
Mastocytosis is a group of diseases characterized by abnormal proliferation of mast cells both in the bone marrow and
the peripheral tissues such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract,
liver, and spleen. Mastocytosis not only a ects predominantly children (75 %) but also adults with more severe manifestations (25 %). Mastocytosis is classi ed into four clinical
categories based on their clinical manifestations, prognosis,
and pathological ndings:
1 . Indolent mastocytosis : this type generally has a good prog-
nosis. It is subdivided into patients with isolated skin mastocytosis ( type IA , urticaria pigmentosa ) and systemic
mastocytosis with visceral and bone involvement ( type IB ) .
2 . Mastocytosis with hematologic disease : this type is
characterized by mastocytosis associated with
myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disorders. e
prognosis is determined based on the severity of the
hematologic disease.
3 . Aggressive mastocytosis : this type is characterized by
rapidly deteriorating clinical course with increase
mastocytes burden. e patient develops eosinophilia
with generalized lymphadenopathy; prognosis is poor.
4 . Mast cell leukemia : this type is extremely rare and carries
the worst prognosis.
Patients with urticaria pigmentosa present classically
with small, yellow-tan to reddish brown macules. Nodules or
plaque-like lesions may be seen. ese skin lesions are seen
in the upper and lower limbs sparing the palms, soles, face,
and scalp. e thorax and the abdomen may be a ected. e
skin lesions are also found in 90 % of patients with systemic
mastocytosis and 50 % in mastocytosis with hematological
disorders.
Darier ’ s sign is a term used to describe erythematous skin
lesion that rises a er rubbing or scratching lesions of cutaneous mastocytosis. e erythema appears 2–5min a er rubbing the skin and lasts from 30min to several hours. Mast
cells contain histamine, heparin, and prostaglandin. When
the skin is rubbed, there is degranulation of mast cells with
the release of mast cell contents within the dermis. Darier’s
sign is caused by the e ect of histamine. Darier’s sign can be
also seen in leukemia cutis, lymphoma, and Langerhans cell
histiocytosis. Mastocytomas are rare skin lesions that typi-
cally occur before 6 months of age as solitary or multiple skin
nodules.
Patients with systemic mastocytosis present o en with
abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, peptic ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Symptoms can be precipitated by narcotics, nonsteroidal anti-in ammatory drugs, penicillin, cold or
hot temperature, exercise and emotions, and alcohol. Other
features include malabsorption, hepatosplenomegaly (50 %),
and lymphadenopathy (60 %). Laboratory investigations
classically show anemia (50 %) and eosinophilia (25 %).
Bleeding tendency may occur due to high levels of heparin
released by mast cells or vitamin K de ciency due to malabsorption.

Chapter 9 · Hematology
Diagnosis is established by measurement of serum concentration of both mature and α-tryptase, which re ects mast cell
numbers (normal level up to 11ng/mL). Systemic mastocytosis is strongly suspected if serum tryptase level is >20 ng/
mL. is test is best done during acute events caused by mastocytosis. e other method to detect mastocytosis is to measure 24-h urinary histamine concentration. e latter method
is used when serum tryptase level measurement is unavailable.
Signs on Chest Radiographs
Pulmonary mastocytosis is rarely detected in systemic
mastocytosis as bilateral di use interstitial nodular
pattern.
Signs on Skeletal Radiographs
1. Classically, mastocytosis is seen as multiple nodular
mixed osteolytic/osteosclerotic lesions that di usely
a ects the skeleton (. Figs. 9.12.50 and 9.12.51 ). The
osteolytic lesions are caused by granulomatous
formation. In contrast, sclerotic lesions are caused by
the e ect of histamine which is known to stimulate
the formation of brous tissue. Fibrous tissue will be
later converted into osteoid, which will be converted
into bony sclerotic lesions.
2. Osteoporosis may be seen due to the high heparin
e ect or the bone resorption e ect of prostaglandin
produced by mast cells.

reaction causing collagen brosis, osteosclerosis, and angiogenesis of the bone marrow. MMM is accompanied by widespread extramedullary hematopoiesis. MMM is typically seen
in patients >65 years of age. Death usually occurs 2–3 years
a er the rst onset of the disease. Clinical presentation is
divided to myeloproliferation, cytopenia, and constitutional
symptoms.
Myeloproliferative symptoms include splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, lymphadenopathy bone pain, portal hypertension
(10 %), risk of leukemia, and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
Cytopenic symptoms include fatigue, thrombosis, and bleeding. Constitutional symptoms include fatigue, weight loss,
night sweat, and hyperuricemia that can lead to gout
(5–20 %), arthralgia, and fever. Rare CNS manifestations due
to meningeal hematopoiesis include headache, seizures,
altered consciousness, and hemiplegia.
Diagnosis is con rmed by laboratory investigations
which will show anemia, thrombocytopenia, and characteristic teardrop red blood cells. e white blood count is initially high and then drops (leukopenia). Bone marrow
aspiration histological results are nondiagnostic.

Signs on Barium Follow-Through
1. There is di use bowel wall thickening with nodular
mucosa due to in ltration of the intestinal lamina
propria by mast cells. Di erential diagnoses include
Whipple’s disease, amyloidosis, and lymphangiectasia.
2. Multiple, large bull’s eye lesions may be detected.
Di erential diagnoses of intestinal bull’s eye lesions
include lymphoma, metastases, Kaposi sarcoma, and
aberrant pancreas.
Signs on MRI
There is mosaic bone marrow pattern with high T2 signal
intensity surrounded by hypointense rim, best to be seen
in the vertebral column.

9.13 Myelo brosis andMyeloid Metaplasia
Myelo brosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) is a rare disease characterized by abnormal stem cell proliferation within
the bone marrow that is accompanied by intense bone marrow
Signs on Radiographs
1. There is di use bone sclerosis that can be patchy
mimicking Paget’s disease or uorosis with sandwich
vertebrae. Unlike Paget’s disease, serum alkaline
phosphatase levels are normal in myelo brosis.
2. Periostitis can be seen along the diaphyses of long
bones mimicking osteosarcoma.
Signs on CT
1. Lymphadenopathy, massive splenomegaly, and
hepatomegaly are usually present.
2. Bilateral paraspinal masses may be seen in the
mid-thoracic segment due to extramedullary
hematopoiesis.
3. Bilateral symmetrical nephromegaly without signs of
hydronephrosis can be seen due to hematopoiesis.
This sign is usually seen in in ltrative processes
a ecting the kidneys like nephroblastomatosis,
Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, acute
glomerulonephritis, type I glycogen storage disease,
and nephritic syndrome.
Signs on MRI
1. The bone marrow contains multiple patchy low
T1–T2 signal intensity areas representing brosis
(. Fig. 9.13.52 ); however, low T1–T2 signal intensity
lesions within the bone marrow can be seen in MRI in
in ltrative processes like leukemia.
2. Extramedullary hematopoiesis masses can be seen in
the paraspinal muscles in the mid-thoracic segments

extending into the spinal canal compressing the
spinal cord or extending into the neural foramina
compressing the spinal nerves. Characteristically, the
masses show low signal in T1W images, high signal
intensity on T2W images, and di use homogenous
contrast enhancement after contrast injection
(. Fig. 9.13.53 ).
3. CNS meningeal hematopoiesis is a rare complication
of MMM that presents as intracranial masses located
within the meninges or the falx cerebri and enhances
homogenously after contrast injection similar to
meningiomas. The history and clinical presentation is
important to di erentiate between the two.
Extramedullary hematopoiesis masses are sensitive
to radiotherapy.
