  • Title: [Value of lymphography in teratoid testicular tumors (author's transl)].
    Author: Brehmer B, Lehmann G, Mellin P.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1978 Feb; 18(2):76-9. PubMed ID: 635169.
    Abstract:
    In 72 patients with malignant testicular tumors lymphograms were reviewed and correlated with the microscopic findings of the resected lymphnodes. In 55 patients (76%) the roentgenographic diagnosis was confirmed by histology. In 6 patients lymphography was false positive as microscopic examination of the resected lymphnodes showed. In 4 patients lymphography was considered negative but metastatic disease proven microscopically from retroperitoneal lymphnodes. Out of 7 patients with questionable positive lymphograms 2 had retroperitoneal metastases confirmed by microscopic examination. The limits, errors and value of lymphography in patients with testicular tumors are discussed.
