[Diagnostic imaging of the subdiaphragmatic lymphatic system in malignant lymphoma: confusion of abundance?].
Staging of malignant lymphomas, monitoring of response to therapy and regular follow-up of treated patients can properly be performed by new diagnostic imaging modalities. Diagnosis of subdiaphragmatic nodal involvement by ultrasonography and computed tomography is based on enlargement of lymph nodes. Lymphography is the only method which can depict pathologic internal architecture in normal sized lymph nodes. Of 82 patients there were 72 on admission without known subdiaphragmatic nodal disease. Of these 22 (30.5%) were found to have nodal involvement in this region. Suggested diagnostic algorhythm is shown on flow diagram.
