[Lymphogranulomatosis of thymus].
Six cases of lymphogranulomatosis of the thymus are described. There are few clinical sings as a rule or none at all. The main diagnostic method is X-ray (poly-position roentgenoscopy, computed tomography) which reveals a new growth in the thoracic cavity. Preoperative morphological verification of the character of the tumor is difficult. Only histological study shows the true character of the disease. Surgical intervention makes it possible to establish the diagnosis and is a component of the complex of the therapeutic measures (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) applied in the management of local forms of lymphogranulomatosis of the thymus.
