RESUMEN
Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is a systemic disease of unknown etiology. Its main pathology is vasculitis and serositis, due to deposition of the immune complex or antibodies. Most findings are nonspecific ; abdominal manifestations include enteritis, hepatomegaly, pancreatic enlargement, serositis, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly,nephritis, interstitial cystitis, and thrombophlebitis. We described radiologic findings of various organinvolvement of SLE; digestive system, serosa, reticuloendothelial system, urinary system, and venous system.Diagnosis of SLE was done according to the criteria of American Rheumatism Association. Understanding of thevariable imaging findings in SLE may be helpful for the early detection of abdominal involvement andcomplications.

Kimura's disease is a benign chronic inflammatory condition with good prognosis, commonly involving the headand neck area. With regard to abdominal manifestat ions, howeve r, the information contained in the literature islimited. Diagnosis on the basis of imaging is difficult, especially in abdominal cases manifesting aslymphadenopathy. The purpose of this report is to illustrate and discuss an abdominal case of the diseasemanifesting as lymphadenopathy.
