Description

The lymphographic appearance of lymphoma may be simulated by a variety of other diseases, both malignant and benign, including metastases, lymphangiomatosis, sarcoidosis and lymphadenitis. In addition, non-specific reactive changes of the lymph nodes are common in lymphography of children sometimes simulating lymphoma. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Lymphographisch kann sich ein vermeintliches Lymphom darstellen, ist jedoch in Wirklichkeit durch eine Reihe anderer Erkrankungen und Zustaende vorgetaeuscht, die sowohl maligne als auch gutartig sein koennen, unter anderem Metastasen, Lymphangiomatose, Sarkoidose und Lymphadenitis. Ausserdem finden sich bei Kindern haeufig nicht spezifische reaktive Veraenderungen der Lymphknoten, die bei Lymphographie zuweilen ein Lymphom simulieren koennen. (orig.)
