Overview
Chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm.
Chest X-Ray
There is no formal role for chest X-ray in the evaluation of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Findings on chest X-ray suggestive of myeloproliferative neoplasm include: [1]
- Enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes
- Enlarged thymus gland
- Pleural effusion
- Pneumonia
Findings on chest x-ray suggestive of chronic myelogenous leukemia include enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, enlarged thymus gland, and pneumonia.[1]
