CT of anterior mediastinal adenopathy in Hodgkin disease.
On CT, lymphomas will produce multiple, lobulated soft-tissue masses or a large soft-tissue mass from lymph node aggregation (solid white arrows). The mass is usually homogeneous in density, as in this case, but may be heterogeneous when the nodes achieve a sufficient size to undergo necrosis (areas of low attenuation, i.e., blacker) or hemorrhage (areas of high attenuation, i.e., whiter). The superior vena cava (SVC) is compressed by the nodes while the ascending (A) and descending aorta (Ao) are typically less so.
