Abstract
Aim: Lymphadenopathy (LAP) is one of the most common daily practice clinical findings in children. LAPs that involve more than one region and do not decrease with treatment are a significant cause of anxiety for clinicians and families. In this occurence, ultrasonography, which is the primary imaging method, is insufficient in some cases. Our aim is to make histopathological predictions with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis.
 Material and Method: A total of thirty-one patients, seventeen male and fourteen female, who underwent magnetic resonance imaging and were diagnosed histopathologically (with tru-cut or excisional biopsy) were included in our study. Magnetic resonance imagings were evaluated retrospectively. 
 Results: We could not differentiate lymphoma (when considered as a single group), granulomatous LAP and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia with an ADC histogram analysis (p>0.05). However, when the lymphoma subgroups were evaluated separately, we could only distinguish Burkitt’s lymphoma (with ADCmin values) from other pathologies (p
