Abstract: Objective To study the CT features of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) involvement of gastrocolic ligament (GCL) and its anatomic basis.    Methods    CT images of 26 patients with GCL involvement by the HNL were analyzed retrospectively. All cases were proved by pathology. Emphasis was placed on CT findings of the GCL.    Results    The main manifestation of GCL involvement was enlargement of lymph nodes in GLC. The enlarged lymph nodes were scattered and no lymph node fusion was observed. The enlarged lymph nodes showed uniform enhancement in 25 cases, and uniform enhancement combined with annular enhancement in 1 case. GCL thickened with local caked sign and peritoneal fluid collection in 2 cases. Conclusions  Familiarity with the anatomical features of GCL is helpful for the CT diagnosis of NHL involving GCL.
