Serial echocardiographic examinations of the heart were obtained for 13 patients undergoing irradiation for malignant lymphoma. Eleven of these had been shown to have mediastinal adenopathy; none had clinically detectable pericardial disease. The pericardial effusion which had been echocardiographically evident in 6 patients prior to treatment disappeared during or subsequent to the course of radiotherapy. Small asymptomatic effusions appeared in 5 patients during the follow-up period. Pericardial effusions, detected easily by echocardiography, occur more commonly than hed been previously thought in patients with malignant lymphoma.
对13例接受恶性淋巴瘤放疗的患者进行了心脏系列超声心动图检查。其中11例已显示有纵隔淋巴结肿大；均无临床可检测到的心包疾病。6例患者在治疗前超声心动图显示的心包积液在放疗过程中或放疗后消失。5例患者在随访期间出现了小的无症状积液。超声心动图易于检测到心包积液，在恶性淋巴瘤患者中比以前认为的更为常见。
