title: [CT diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the CT characters of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma initially located in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
  
  
  METHODS
  The CT manifestations of 9 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma initially located in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses verified by pathology were analysed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  1) Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is essentially malignant, acts as a typical malignancy in its clinical manifestation, but on CT, its bone destruction acts as a benign tumor consisting of bone remodeling. 2) Hypertrophic mucosa lies on septum chiefly. 3) Mass with soft tissue density always involves in inferior meatus and inferior turbinate.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The CT manifestation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma initially located in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses has its own characters.
