  • Title: [Lymphography and fine needle puncture biopsy in the evaluation of lymph node involvement. Apropos of 207 cases].

    Abstract:
    Percutaneous fine needle puncture biopsy was performed on lymph nodes taking up contrast during lymphography in 207 patients with various disorders: urogenital (174 cases), gynecologic (13 cases), hematologic (17), others (3). At the present time, in fact, and simultaneously with the development of physical methods of diagnostic exploration (ultrasonography, computed tomography) needle puncture biopsy has become of increasing importance to confirm a suspected diagnosis. Needle puncture biopsy under television control is a simple, painless and practically nontraumatic procedure. When performed under precise conditions and a strict methodology (routine sampling as a function of the primary glandular chains), it establishes the correct diagnosis in a large number of lymphographies, enabling a rapid and more precise evaluation of the degree of extension and thus a better therapeutic choice.
