title: [The value and limitation of echotomography in the diagnosis of abdominal lymphomas in malignant diseases(author's transl)].
abstract: The indication for ultrasonic examination in addition to endolymphatic methods is discussed.  In 23 histologically proved advanced cases the accuracy of lymphography was 77% and in echotomography 74%.  In the diagnosis of lymphonodal enlargements in the area of the liver and spleen hilium echotomography proved to be a valuable diagnostic method independent from endolymphatic methods.  In X-ray treatments echotomography enables us to estimate the therapeutic result and to evaluate the lymphonodal status.  The controls are performed in an out-patient manner.
