[CT and lymphography correlations in the evaluation of patients with testicular tumours (author's transl)]. 1980

S Feuerbach, and U Gullotta, and N Rupp, and M Reiser, and E Egger, and K H Rothenberger

27 patients with testicular tumours were examined by lymphography and computerized tomography for evaluation of metastatic spread in the retroperitoneal lymphnodes. A good correlation of results was found in 23 patients. In 4 cases lymphography failed to show metastatic disease, which was easily recognized by CT. In account of the lymphatic spread pathways of testicular tumours leading mainly to the lymphnodes close to the kidney pedicle CT appears to be method of choice in the staging of these patients, as the lymphnodes in this area are often not demonstrated by lymphography. Computerized tomography allows the exact localisation and extension of neoplastic lymphnodes and at the same time a good evaluation of the surrounding organs.

D008207 Lymphatic Metastasis Transfer of a neoplasm from its primary site to lymph nodes or to distant parts of the body by way of the lymphatic system. Lymph Node Metastasis,Lymph Node Metastases,Lymphatic Metastases,Metastasis, Lymph Node
D008220 Lymphography Radiographic study of the lymphatic system following injection of dye or contrast medium. Lymphangiography,Lymphangiographies,Lymphographies
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
