An evaluation of lymphography in localized carcinoma of the prostate.

Lymph node biopsies were positive in 20% (7/35) of stage T1 and T2 (stage B) tumors and 64% (21/33) of stage T3 (stage C) tumors in 69 previously untreated and unselected patients with apparently localized carcinoma of the prostate. One patient with a To (stage A) tumor had no evidence of lymph node metastasis. Prospective analysis demonstrated an overall lymphographic accuracy of 78%, sensitivity of 57% and specificity of 92%. The detection of lymph node metastases in the lymphogram is limited by the frequency of microscopic metastasis and the frequency of benign changes within pelvic lymph nodes in this older patient population. Diagnostic criteria for metastatic disease which gives a low incidence of false-positive interpretations should be maintained, since relaxing the criteria will not necessarily improve the detection rate of metastases and would decrease specificity.

Lymphography following leg amputation.

Bilateral lower-extremity lymphangiograms were obtained on 2 patients who previously had one leg amputated for unrelated indications. In both cases an underlying malignant tumor was present, and opacification of the lymph nodes draining the amputated limb was clinically important.

Comparison of radiopaque perfluorocarbon and Ethiodol in lymphography.

Lymphangiography was performed on 40 adult cats, 39 dogs, 20 rabbits, and 12 rats of mixed sex using Ethiodol or radiopaque perfluorocarbon (BPC). Ethiodol was more radiodense than RPC, but imaging of lymph channels and nodes was satisfactory with the latter. RPC could be infused rapidly, while Ethiodol infusion was time consuming. RPC was biologically inert; Ethiodol produced both local and systemic inflammatory reactions. The lymph node distribution with RPC was more uniform and persisted for longer periods. It was concluded that RPC was an improvement over Ethiodol for lymphangiography.
