[Clinical and radiologic signs of pulmonary and pleural lesions in childhood Hodgkin's disease].

Pulmonary and pleural involvement was identified in 17% (42.2% at the debut of the disease, while 57.8%--in the course of tumor progression) out of 264 children with Hodgkin's disease. Basing on X-ray evidence, pulmonary lesions were classified as perinodal, focal-infiltrative, disseminated, nodular, mixed infiltration and lobitis, while those of the pleura--exudative pleurisy and tumor masses involving the pleura. Focal-infiltrative pattern was most common (53%). The best results were reported in the treatment of perinodal infiltration, whereas the worst--disseminated and mixed infiltration as well as pleural lesions.
