Overview
Chest, spine, pelvic, and long bones x ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
X ray Findings
- Chest x ray
- Pulmonary involvement usually indicates stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- The following findings on chest x ray may be suggestive of Hodgkin's lymphoma:
- Bilateral involvement
- Peribronchial infiltration
- Masses
- Mass-like consolidation
- Diffuse interstitial thickening
- Mediastinal nodal involvement (Primary disease)
- Pulmonary parenchymal involvement (Recurrent disease)
- Ribs may be osteolytic and expansile
- Sternum may be involved
- Spine x ray
- Erosion of anterior or anterolateral aspect of the vertebral body(ies) is a classic finding in Hodgkin's lymphoma , caused by enlarged paravertebral lymph nodes
- Nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma shows diffusely increased density with our without anterior erosion; vertebral body height is unaffected
- Single, dense vertebra (ivory vertebra) in adults is suggestive of Hodgkin's lymphoma, however, it has many other causes
- Intervertebral disc spaces are generally unaffected by the disease
- Pelvic x ray
- Mixed or sclerosing type predominates
- Long bones x ray:
- Frequently lytic, extending along the long axis of bone through the medullary cavity with endosteal scalloping of the cortex
