Overview

On chest x ray, non-Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by nodules and pleural effusion.

Chest X ray

On chest x ray, non-Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by:[1]

  • Presence of nodules and hilar masses suggestive of central lymphadenopathy
  • Pericardial effusions
  • Pleural effusion
  • Parenchymal involvement may be seen
  • The mediastinal mass ratio can be determined by chest X-ray.
  • A mediastinal mass ratio of greater than 0.33 is consistent with bulky disease.
