Lymphangigraphic accuracy in the staging of testicular tumors.
Since 1965, 103 patients with testicular neoplasms have been evaluated with lymphangiography for evidence of retroperitoneal disease.  Thirty-five patients with testicular carcinomas had lymphadenectomies; corroboration of their initial lymphangiographic interpretaions with the surgical specimens was possible.  There was an overall 79% (26 of 33) correlation.  We feel that even with relatively inexperienced examiners, lymphangiography can be a useful means of evaluating the retroperitoneum.
