The main indications for lymphography by oncological patients are primary or secondary lymph node tumours. CT also became very useful in these cases. In this study the results of lymphography and computed tomography were compared in 100 patients with lymph node tumours. An absolute concurrence of both methods was found in only one half of the material. In 18% lymphography was clearly positive and CT negative. In 6% CT was positive while lymphography was negative. In 25% CT yielded important extra useful information. Lymphography and CT complement each other. Both methods are about equal in terms of sensitivity and reliability. CT is the basic method to be performed invariably prior to lymphography.
Regarding the present results and the review of literature, we are of the opinion that negative attitude towards lymphography is not justified. In diagnostic procedure, priority is given to sonography and computed tomography because of their non-invasiveness. Lymphography is indispensable in all cases where sonography or computed tomography show negative findings and where the therapy planning depends on evidence or exclusion of retroperitoneal lymphomas. In general the combination of both computed tomography and lymphography is the most sensitive and consequently, the safest method in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymphomas.
