[Computer tomographic demonstration of lymph node metastases from malignant testicular tumours. A comparison of lymphography and computer tomography (author's transl)].
Lymphography and computer tomography was performed on 64 patients with malignant testicular tumours in order to demonstrate lymph node metastases. In 60 patients it was possible to confirm the findings by surgery. In 43 patients there was agreement between the findings of the computer tomogram and the lymphogram. In 39 of these patients lymph node metastases had been demonstrated, in three there was a false negative and in one a false positive. Amongst the patients in whom there was a descrepancy between the two types of examination, the CT findings were confirmed histologically in twelve, and the lymphographic findings in nine. In 12.5% CT added significant additional information. Accuracy of lymphography was 73% and of computer tomography 80%. Specificity for each examination was 79%.
