520 3 |a Purpose: Portacaval lymphadenopathy (PCLA) is common in cirrhosis and chronic viral hepatitis and is frequently an incidental finding on abdominal CT scans. We aimed to detect the incidence of malignancy in organs drained by portacaval nodes in patients with PCLA associated with cirrhosis or chronic viral hepatitis, or incidentally detected PCLA. Methods: We searched CT reports from 2005 to 2007 for the phrases "periportal node” and "portacaval node.” MDCTs of patients with portacaval nodes ≥10mm in maximal short-axis size on contrast-enhanced MDCTs, were included. Records were reviewed for presence of malignancy, liver metastases, chronic viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Clinical or imaging follow-up ≥6months was performed to detect if malignancy developed in organs drained by portacaval nodes in patients with incidental PCLA, cirrhosis, or chronic viral hepatitis. Results: 479 patients met inclusion criteria [298 males (62%), mean age 61.4years]. In 285 (59.5%) patients, PCLA was explained by local pathology or systemic lymphadenopathy. PCLA was incidental in 146 (30.5%) patients. Of these, 112 (76.7%) had ≥6months of follow-up (median 26months). No patient with incidental PCLA developed malignancy in organs drained by these nodes. Cirrhosis or chronic viral hepatitis was present in 48 (10.0%) patients. Of these, 42 (87.5%) had ≥6months follow-up (median 28months), and only 1 patient developed cholangiocarcinoma (positive predictive value 2.4%). Conclusions: Development of malignancy is rare in patients with PCLA, either incidental or secondary to cirrhosis or chronic viral hepatitis. Our study suggests that no follow-up of PCLA is required in these settings.
