title: [Residual masses after chemotherapy of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].
abstract: Among 149 patients treated for high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 22 post-therapy mediastinal and abdominal residual masses were observed (14.7%). In 12 cases, initial histology was malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell. The follow-up of these patients was similar to those without residual masses. Magnetic resonance imaging may be helpful in distinguishing viable tissue from fibrotic tissue.
