[Computerized tomography of lymphomas: a simple method in the control of abdominal localization after treatment]

The authors, according to their experience of repeated controls of abdominal computed tomography (CT) in 10 patients with Hodgkin's and non Hodgkin's lymphomas, obtained a clear demonstration of therapy response and disease evolution. The reduction or enlargement after therapy of periaortic, pericaval, hepatic, splenic and pancreatic lymph nodes not always opacified from lymphographic contrast medium is evaluated. It was possible, during the same examination, to evaluate liver, spleen, kidneys parenchyma and regional bone. CT results were always well correlated with clinical findings.
