 | Media file 1: Incidence of lymphoma as a function of age per 100,000 population. Data are from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) for 1990-1994. |
 | Media file 2: Massive mediastinal T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Note compression of the left mainstem bronchus and the pulmonary atelectasis. |
 | Media file 3: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the terminal ileum. Note the doughnut sign, ie, intraluminal contrast material surrounded by a grossly thickened bowel wall. This appearance is highly suggestive of small noncleaved cell lymphoma (Burkitt type). |
 | Media file 4: Malignant pleural effusion. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the terminal ileum was diagnosed; the doughnut sign (ie, intraluminal contrast material surrounded by a grossly thickened bowel wall) was present. A diagnosis of stage 3 Burkitt lymphoma was established by means of pleurocentesis. (The bone marrow was normal.) The patient was treated successfully and never required an abdominal procedure. |
 | Media file 5: Massive left pleural effusion as a complication of an upper anterior mediastinal T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Note the atelectatic left lung. The diagnosis was established by means of thoracentesis. This patient had presented with bilateral parotid gland enlargement. |
