[Comparison of the results from sonographic and lymphographic examination in retroperitoneal tumor formations (author's transl)].
Retroperitoneal sonographic (grey scale) and lymphographic examination of 51 patients was performed in a prospective study. With either method, an 1:1 correlation was detected in 47 patients (92%). In nine cases, sonographic examination directly revealed extended tumors, whereas lymphographically only lesions within the not-enlarged lymph nodes were represented at the same level. Defective lymph nodes with minimum tumorous affection, on the other hand, were not detectable by sonography. The indications resulting from these findings are defined more precisely with regard to the examinations.
