[Malignant reticuloendoteliosis. Prognostic analysis]

A description is made of the correlation between symptomatology and survivorship in 50 cases of malignant reticuloendotheliosis grouped as follows: 1. Cases with a single bone lesion, with several bony lesions, with lesions in bones and in soft tissues and with lesions only in soft tissues. 2. Each symptom is given the value of 1 and with the resulting addition, a rate is established. In the first part, it was found that survivorship was better in those groups that only showed bony lesion and within them, in those with a single lesion. The worst survivorship was for those cases with lesion only in soft tissues. In the second part, it was shown that survivorship was definitely less for cases with higher rating. Based on the previously described, this classification and rating is proposed to establish an earlier and more exact prognosis than usual.
