The files and the roentgenographic documentation of 624 patients affected by Hodgkin's disease have been reviewed. The presence and location of involved nodes in the different lymph node chains of the mediastinum have been determined and correlated with the distribution of the main anatomoclinic prognostic parameters of the disease. Feminine sex, histology of nodular sclerosis, presence of constitutional symptoms and age younger than 36 were found to be significantly more frequent in patients with mediastinal adenopathies than in patients with a normal mediastinum. Patients with mediastinal adenopathy at presentation were also more likely develop pulmonary involvement as first evidence of new manifestation of disease after the primary treatment. A different probability to be affected by disease was evident among the different lymph node groups in the mediastinum. The involvement of hilar nodes appeared to accompany a more advanced stage of disease and to favour the adjacent lung extension.
