PURPOSE To describe imaging findings in superficial soft tissue lymphomas, especially those located in the skin and subcutaneous layer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 44 pathologically confirmed superficial lymphoma lesions. Imaging analysis included the size, margin, location, morphology, homogeneity and multiplicity. RESULTS A nodular form was the most common (21/44, 47.7%) morphology, and of them, 18 demonstrated a streaky appearance. Most of the lesions demonstrated ill-defined margins (26/44, 59.1%) and homogeneous patterns (35/44, 79.5%). CONCLUSIONS The imaging findings of superficial soft tissue lymphomas were non-specific. However, if images show multiple nodular lesions with ill-defined margins, we should consider this diagnosis.
