Overview
On a chest x-ray, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may be characterized by enlarged lymph nodes, pulmonary infiltrates, nodules, effusion, and congestive heart failure.
Key Chest X-Ray Findings in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia
Chest x-ray may be used to evaluate the following:[1]
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Pulmonary infiltrates
- Especially important in patients who are immuno-compromised while receiving chemotherapy
- Nodules
- Effusion
- Cardiomegaly (due to Congestive heart failure)
