Objective:

To investigate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the auxiliary diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic lymphogranuloma.

Methods:

The clinical features

ultrasonography

laboratory examinations and ultrasound follow-up of 9 cases with eosinophilic lymphogranuloma confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.

Results:

All the cases showed painless masses. The mass detection rate by ultrasound was 100%. The lesions were oval or irregular in shape with hypoechoes or mixed echoes and visible blood flow signals. Ultrasound proposed the following diagnosis: 5 cases with enlarged lymph nodes

3 with parotid masses

and 1 with parotid mixed tumor. Laboratory examinations showed that eosinophil count increased in

6 cases

and percentage of eosinophils increased in 7 cases. 5 cases had postoperative recurrence in the follow-up.

Conclusion:

The mass detection rate of ultrasound is very high in eosinophilic lymphogranuloma. It plays a great role in therapeutic evaluation and follow-up after treatment of eosinophilic lymphogranuloma

and can provide effective reference for clinicians. To make accurate diagnosis it still depends on clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations.
