Overview
There are no specific echocardiography and ultrasound findings associated with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. However, ultrasound can be used to look at enlarged spleen, liver, kidneys, lymph nodes and to help guide a biopsy needle into an enlarged lymph node.
Echocardiography or Ultrasound
- There are no specific echocardiography and ultrasound findings associated with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.[1]
- However, ultrasound of the spleen is more accurate at quantitation compared to physical examination findings alone.
- Ultrasound can be used to look at the lymph nodes near body surface or to look for enlarged abdominal lymph nodes or organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys (it can’t be used to look at organs or lymph nodes in the chest because the ribs block the sound waves).
- Ultrasound is sometimes used to help guide a biopsy needle into an enlarged lymph node.
