The article describes eight patients with enlarged internal mammary lymph nodes visualized on the frontal plain chest radiograph. Enlarged internal mammary lymph nodes cast shadows that initially may be mistaken for a mediastinal or pleural abnormality. Although the lateral film alone may suggest these nodes, the findings on the frontal film help lateralize the abnormality.
