Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose: Our aim was to review our single-centre experience regarding imaging features and pathological conditions arising from enlarged lymph nodes following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLD) and identify imaging features that may allow narrowing the differential diagnosis. Materials and methods: Between January 1997 and September 2008, 715 OLTs were performed at our Institution in 585 patients. In 19 patients (2.6 %) ultrasound (US) showed enlarged lymph nodes in the upper abdomen, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed Results: Histological results showed posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in six patients (31.5 %), hepatic tumoral disease in six (31.5 %), disseminated systemic tuberculosis in one (5.2%) and sarcoidosis in one (5.2%). Histological results showed nonspecific reactive lymph node hyperplasia in five patients (26%). Conclusions: Detecting enlarged lymph nodes in the upper abdomen after liver transplantation is and infrequent occurrence; however, thorough imaging is required to detect and characterise a wide variety of disorders. Most of the time, enlarged lymph nodes will be related to posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder or tumoral recurrence. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Italia.
