title: [Application of computer tomography (CT) as an additional means of follow-up gynecologic neoplasms-a case documentation (author's transl)].
abstract: The application of CT represents an important progress not only in diagnostic and therapeutic planning, but also in the evaluation of the effectiveness of follow-up procedures in gynecologic cancer therapy. The evaluation of the results of some follow-up procedures in a case of leiomyosarcoma uteri shows significance and importance of CT as a new radiologic method. Inspite of preliminary negative results of extensive radiologic, myelographic, laboratory investigations and of technetium- and gallium-scintigraphy, CT proved a solitary metastasis located at S-1 in the os sacrum. The diagnostic aspects of follow-up examinations in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery or radiotherapy are discussed. CT should not be placed at first rank position, but be considered as an helpful additional means for special cases.
