Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of Lymphomatoid granulomatosis. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of Lymphomatoid granulomatosis include Bilateral nodules or masses , Pleural effusions, Pneumonitis, and cavitation of nodules. Chest x-ray can be used to differentiate lymphomatoid granulomatosis from other conditions or disease that can be confused with it, but to definitively diagnose it further investigation is needed.
X Ray
The following x-ray findings are suggestive of assisting in diagnosing Lymphmotoid granulomatosis:
- Bilateral nodules or masses in the lower and peripheral lung
- Pleural effusion in some cases
- Cavitation of nodules
- Pneumothorax(rare)
