Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are slow-growing cancers that affect the immune system by disrupting the normal function of B-cells. The patient symptoms associated with CLL and SLL can be vague; therefore, many cases go undiagnosed for years. Diagnostic medical sonography is an imaging technique that can determine the abnormal appearance of lymph nodes and guide medical providers in the appropriate direction when investigating a questionable case of lymphoma. This case study presents a superficial left-neck sonogram of a 65-year-old Caucasian man complaining of left supraclavicular pain and swelling. This initial sonogram was the first phase in a sequence of examinations that led to the patient’s diagnosis of CLL/SLL.

慢性淋巴细胞白血病 (CLL) 和小淋巴细胞淋巴瘤 (SLL)：病例研究

慢性淋巴细胞白血病（CLL）和小淋巴细胞淋巴瘤（SLL）是一种生长缓慢的癌症，通过破坏 B 细胞的正常功能来影响免疫系统。与 CLL 和 SLL 相关的患者症状可能很模糊，因此许多病例多年来一直未得到诊断。医学超声诊断是一种成像技术，可确定淋巴结的异常外观，并指导医疗人员在调查可疑淋巴瘤病例时选择适当的方向。本病例介绍了一名 65 岁白种男子的左颈部浅层声像图，该男子主诉左锁骨上疼痛和肿胀。最初的声像图是一系列检查的第一阶段，最终患者被诊断为 CLL/SLL。
