 AB    CT and MRI are the most efficient imaging techniques for diagnosing
       lymphomas while Gallium-67 scintigraphy is used to assess treatment
       results. In this review, the imaging aspects of lymphoma are addressed
       according to anatomical subregions, from the orbit to the trachea,
       Waldeyer's ring being the most common site, in the head and neck.
       Lymphomas of this region are not easily distinguished from the more
       common squamous cell carcinomas; however, multiple extranodal sites, the
       presence of many non-necrotic lymph nodes and a large nasopharyngeal
       mass without significant bone destruction should alert one to the
       possibility of lymphoma.
