  • Title: [The contribution of laparoscopy to diagnosis of malignant lymphomas (author's transl)].
    Author: Maldonado OF, Fernandez RL, Marqueti PV.
    Journal: Dtsch Z Verdau Stoffwechselkr; 1979; 39(2):80-2. PubMed ID: 156636.
    Abstract:
    Peritoneoscopy revealed in 15 patients with malignant lymphomas splenomegaly (13 patients), hepatomegaly (10 patients, 8 of them with impressive or suspicious alterations of the liver surface) and enlargement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes or localised infiltration of a jejunal loop (3 patients). Aimed biopsy of liver, spleen or lymph nodes frequently established the diagnosis definitively. The various features of malignant lymphomas observable at peritoneoscopy are described. Based on these experiences peritoneoscopy is recommended in suspected malignant lymphomas as a real diagnostic aid.
