Abstract
Lymphangiography with follow-up films was found to be an excellent method for demonstrating abscopal effect in patients with malignant lymphomas. In this manuscript two patients with clinical Stage III non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented who exhibited marked reduction in the size of the abdominal lymph nodes following irradiation to the mantle. This was accompanied by a marked depression of the absolute number of peripheral lymphocytes, while the neutrophils remained unchanged or little affected. Excluding, on the basis of dosimetric studies, the possibility of scatter irradiation as the cause of this phenomenon, data based on the recirculation of lymphocytes are discussed, as a plausible explanation.
