Abstract
The histological aspects of lymph nodes after lymphography with radioactive Lipiodol are well known from a previous investigation made by Pizzetti et al. [5]. Such histological experience, however, relates to lymph nodes which either were not invaded by tumors or were infiltrated by metastases of carcinomas, especially from the bladder or uterus or malignant melanoma [1, 4, 6]. So far no extensive reports have been published on the direct action of radioactive Lipiodol on lymph nodes involving malignant lymphomas [2, 3]. With the aim of making a further contribution to this knowledge, we studied the retroperitoneal lymph nodes in patients with lymphoma who have undergone radioactive lymphography, and subsequently, a post mortem examination or a lymphadenectomy.
