To highlight cases which at first review appeared consistent with established 'classical' tumor types but were ultimately revealed to be atypical radiological presentations of lymphoma. To highlight how lymphoma can mimic other tumor types and demonstrate imaging pearls which should alert the radiologist to the possibility of an atypical presentation of lymphoma. We aim to also demonstrate some of the features which should alert the reporting radiologist to the possibility of that the tumour being assessed is intact a lymphoma and not a more conventionally encountered tumour type.  To illustrate a spectrum of cases incorporating a number of radiological sub-specialties seen across a number of imaging modalities.

Introduction: A brief background of lymphoma, including typical patient characteristics. Imaging lymphoma: Typical modalities and radiological features. Individual case-by-case discussion of unusual presentations of lymphoma, mimicking more typical tumour types by anatomical site. Overview with learning points/imaging pearls and pitfalls. Conclusion.
