[Pseudoadenopathies].

The results of a study concerned with the etiology of some lymph node enlargement in 511 cases aged between 16-80 years, admitted to the III-rd Medical Clinic of Iaşi during the last 7 years are presented. A thorough investigation, by histopathological, cytological, haematological, biochemical, immunological, lymphographic, echographic, radiological examinations, has been done. In 44 cases, the results of the above mentioned investigations indicated that there was no lymph node enlargement, but some other masses sharing the same sites with the lymph nodes, which generated the misdiagnosis in outpatient practice. It is important to note that in 28 cases (63% of the 44 cases) the pseudoadenopathies were localized in the cervical area. The pseudoadenopathies, which are the clinical expression of some tumoral diseases, could be classified as follows: a.--single peripheral; b.--generalized, peripheral; c.--deep. The symptoms which permit the differential diagnosis between the true and pseudoadenopathies are analysed.

[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.
