Abstract
- The use and limitations of lymphography in malignant melanoma are evaluated on the basis of 116 cases, nearly all of the lower limbs, and the possibilities of use both preoperatively and during follow-up are discussed. In 53.5% of the cases lymphography revealed lymph node metastases in the inguino-iliac-lumboaortic chains, a datum that justifies the use of lymphography. Histologic examination of the lymph nodes removed at operation proved to be just as important. The two investigations agreed in 89.1% of the cases, taking the material as a whole, and in 90.5%, taking the individual lymph chains (157).
