Description

This retrospective study reports about the informative value of computed tomography applied on 21 patients. The differential diagnostic aspects are particularly considered. Besides ERC and PTC, CT has to be regarded as supplementary investigation method, which preferably permits the detection of regional lymphatic node metastases and the infiltration of adjacent organs. (orig.)
