Abstract

Five cases of histiocytic medullary reticulosis (HMR) are presented and the computed tomographic (CT) findings described. All patients were young adults in their early twenties with fever, malaise and weight loss as their chief complaints. Survival was less than 5 months in all cases. The CT findings were hepatosplenomegaly (5), abdominal lymphadenopathy (5) and bilateral renal enlargement (2). Patchy low attenuation areas in the liver (2), wedge shaped splenic infarcts (2) and focal low attenuation areas in the kidneys (1) were also noted. Ascites (3) and pleural effusion (3) were associated findings.
