Lymphangiographic appearance following radiotherapy is described in 21 patients with pre- and posttherapy lymphangiograms. Following radiotherapy to normal lymphatics, decrease in nodal size and lymph vessel caliber is noted uniformly after 12 months. Before 12 months the development of these changes is variable and may not be seen, especially during the first several months. Following irradiation of abnormal lymph nodes, dilatation of the lymph vessels distal to the abnormal nodes may occur. These lymphangiographic findings can be related to histologic changes seen in lymph nodes after radiation therapy.
对21例治疗前后均进行淋巴管造影的患者描述了放疗后的淋巴管造影表现。对正常淋巴管进行放疗后，12个月后可见淋巴结大小和淋巴管管径均一致减小。在12个月之前，这些变化的发展情况不一，可能看不到，尤其是在最初的几个月。对异常淋巴结进行照射后，异常淋巴结远端的淋巴管可能会扩张。这些淋巴管造影表现可能与放疗后淋巴结的组织学变化有关。
