Analysis of criteria used in the evaluation of left upper abdominal masses seen on CT. A very critical approach is recommended concerning the diagnostic reliability of density measurements and contrast-enhancement. The configuration of the mass and its relationship to the neighborhood seem to be more important aids for a reasonable differential diagnosis.

52 medical records of patients with malignant lymphomas, who had been treated by explorative laparotomy and splenectomy, were evaluated retrospectively. In all patients lymphography and splenic scintigraphy had been performed prior to surgical treatment, and in most of them additional liver scintigraphy. The splenic scintigram was true-positive in 11 cases, false-positive in 6, false-negative in 8, and true-negative in 27 cases. Lymphography was true-positive in 9 and false-positive in 17 cases, false-negative in 4 and true-negative in 22 cases. Comparison shows that explorative laparotomy and splenectomy, in spite of the postoperative complications which have been mentioned, cannot be replaced by modern diagnostic possibilities, provided that indication is carefully considered.

The development of different collateral routes in abdominal arterial occlusion is reported. In three case reports the possible collateral flow is demonstrated. It is shown that impressive occlusions do not correlate to the symptoms the patients present. Therefore it is necessary to remember the phenomenon more frequently. The therapeutic approach--in the acute stadium preferably surgical, in other cases more conservative--is not presented in this paper.
