  • Title: Radiographic findings in previously untreated children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    Author: Castellino RA, Bellani FF, Gasparini M, Musumeci R.
    Journal: Radiology; 1975 Dec; 117(3 Pt 1):657-63. PubMed ID: 1188116.
    Abstract:
    The initial radiographs of 51 consecutive, previously untreated children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were reviewed. The chest radiograph was abnormal in 37%, with pleural effusions seen in 14% of patients. Lymphography, readily performed in children, was positive in 30% of the successful studies. There was a high incidence of bone lesions (18% of patients), due in large part to involvement of the facial bones; all were symptomatic and/or seen on the routine chest and abdominal radiographs. Intrinsic disease of the small bowel (10%) and colon (8%) was also associated with symptoms, so that the value of routine barium studies in asymptomatic children is questioned.
