High attenuation lymphadenopathy has been described with:
- Kaposi sarcoma 1,6
- Castleman disease
- carcinoid
- angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD)
- Kimura disease (due to nodal haemorrhage) 6
-
metastatic hypernephroma (presumed due to nodal
haemorrahagehaemorrhage) 6
If there is calcification associated with the lymphadenopathy, then obviously part of the lymph nodes can be of high attenuation. These can be seen with:
- tuberculosis
- sarcoidosis
- sinus histiocytosis (Rosai-Dorfmann disease) 3
- lymphoma treated with radiotherapy
- papillary thyroid carcinoma 6
- breast cancer (relatively uncommon) 4
