Abstract

LYMPHANGIOGRAPHY of diagnostic contrast media was first reported in clinical practice by Kinmonth in 1955 (ref. 1). The therapeutic significance of this method was recognized by Fischer in 1959 (ref. 2) and is gaining increasing importance. Most authors are using radioactive colloidal gold for intra-lymphatic application3–5 and supplementary therapy to surgical intervention in the case of microscopical metastatic infiltration of lymph nodes in malignant diseases. However, recently6–8 iodine-131-labelled ‘Lipiodol UF’ or ‘Ethiodol’ is preferred for this purpose.
