[The experience of the 3rd Medical Clinic with lymph node pathology].
In the last 8 years, 511 patients (267 men and 244 women) were investigated. It was found that 44 cases (8.6%) were false adenopathies (various types of tumoral masses) but placed in the nodes areas (localized, generalized or deep). There were 467 cases of true lymphadenopathies, 58 new cases yearly (2.32% of all admitted patients and 6.9% of those with blood diseases). Out of these 467 cases, 330 (70.6%) were malignant neoplastic diseases: malignant lymphomas--206 cases (62.4% of all malignancies), leukemias--99 cases (30%), carcinomatous metastases--25 cases (7.6%). Nonmalignant lymphadenopathies were found in 137 cases (29.4%): specific infections (tuberculosis) and nonspecific ones in 87 cases (63.5%), nonimmune diseases (SLE, PAN, sarcoidosis) in 50 cases. Generalized adenopathies were recorded in 47% of the cases, the involvement of a single node group in 21.8% of the cases, other types of distribution being rare. The general symptoms were absent in 20.5% of the cases, being present in the remainder of 79.5%, especially in the malignant lymphomas, leukemias, nonimmune diseases. The main complications occurring against the background of the etiological affections of lymphadenopathies were: infections (respiratory, urinary, tegumental) in 19.7% of the cases and cardiovascular disturbances (myocardiopathies, rythm and conduction disturbances) in 9.6% of the cases.
