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.
