title: [Ultrasound in the diagnosis of malignant lymphomas].
abstract: Optimal treatment of a malignant lymphoma demands accurate staging at the time of first diagnosis. In addition, it is mandatory to perform reproducible therapy control and closely meshed follow-up care. In this connection, sonography occupies an unrivalled place as a non-invasive, relatively uncomplicated and economical examination method. The ranking depends in individual cases on the diagnostic importance and informative value of rival methods, such as lymphography and computed tomography.
