Current use of lymphography for staging lymphomas and genital tumors.

The current literature and the experience at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center were reviewed to determine the current status of the use of lymphography for staging of malignant disease. Lymphography continues to be used for staging and surveillance of the lymphomas and, to some extent, for staging of carcinoma of the cervix. Testicular tumors are now primarily staged and followed by CT and serum markers. Currently, other abdominal and pelvic tumors are not commonly evaluated with lymphography.

Computed tomographic arteriography of the liver.

Computed tomographic arteriography (CTA) of the liver performed during intra-arterial infusion of contrast material improved the detection of hepatic lesions in 10 of 12 patients and was the only method that accurately determined the extent of disease in 6. This technique has significant advantages over conventional hepatic computed tomography with or without intravenous contrast enhancement, or selective hepatic angiography. It is recommended in the evaluation of selected patients, especially when there is a discrepancy between the findings obtained by other methods.

Esophageal cancer: radiographic chest findings and their prognostic significance.

In 103 patients with a diagnosis of carcinoma of the esophagus, admission chest films were reviewed for abnormal findings attributable to the carcinoma. The presence or absence of these findings was analyzed and correlated with tumor resectability, complications, overall survival, and survival as related to tumor location. Unexpectedly, the group of patients who had normal films had a lower resectability rate (30% vs. 41%). There was no significant difference in survival rates of patients with or without chest film abnormalities (12.4 vs. 11.7 months).

Laryngocele.

Laryngocele occurs more commonly than the literature indicates. Until recently, most were diagnosed clinically in the symptomatic patient. Although laryngocele is usually asymptomatic, greater numbers are being diagnosed because more patients suspected of head and neck cancer are undergoing sophisticated diagnostic radiographic procedures. Of 2,068 patients studied at M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute for suspected laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer, 87 (4.2%) had laryngoceles. Three types of laryngocele are recognized: internal, external, and combined. They may be congenital or acquired and occur at any age. The coexistence of carcinoma and laryngocele has been discussed often enough in the literature to suggest a direct relationship; however, this series yielded no substantive evidence to implicate laryngocele as a precursor of carcinoma. The radiographic procedures currently used which readily establish the presence of laryngoceles are lateral soft tissue radiography of the neck, anteroposterior tomography of the larynx, and contrast laryngography.

Laryngeal tuberculosis.

Laryngeal lesions observed in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis are most likely tuberculous. Although tuberculosis and carcinoma may be indistinguishable clinically and radiographically, specific radiographic studies better delineate the lesion and may suggest its true etiology. Five cases of laryngeal tuberculosis referred to M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute as carcinoma of the larynx are described and illustrated. In the acute exudative type, inflammatory disease was suspected, but in the chronic localized lesion, carcinoma was the primary consideration. The histologic diagnosis was established by biopsy.
