Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe multimodality imaging findings in immunosuppressed patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related malignant lymphoproliferative diseases. EBV-related malignant lymphoproliferative diseases share common features with other aggressive lymphomas, including a high degree of extranodal involvement, tumor vascularization, and tumor necrosis. Cognizance of the particular underlying diseases and conditions associated with the development of EBV-related lymphoproliferative diseases and associated imaging results should provide more accurate diagnosis.
