On chest x ray, non-Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by:[1]
- Presence of nodules and hilar masses suggestive of central lymphadenopathy
- Pericardial effusions
- Pleural effusion
- Parenchymal involvement may be seen
- The mediastinal mass ratio can be determined by chest X-ray.
- A mediastinal mass ratio of greater than 0.33 is consistent with bulky disease.

Large unilateral right side pleural effusion can be seen with no fluid on the left. There is no evidence of cardiomegaly. There is an lesion with increased opacity on the peripheral of right upper lung field and another lesion located at the right hilum. Image courtesy of Dr. Jack Ren. Radiopaedia
