Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging of malignancies. Many common lymphoproliferative and other solid tumor malignancies can be viral-related. CONCLUSION. This review discusses the imaging findings that can be associated with common viral-induced malignancies. Knowledge of these imaging presentations can help narrow the differential diagnosis to reach a specific diagnosis through a precise workup and proper management.
Keywords:
cancer; oncogenic viruses; radiologic-pathologic correlation.
