[The special position of primary lymphosarcoma of the lung (author's transl)]

There has been made a comparison between a total of 121 primary lymphatic sarcomas of the lungs with 314 other histomorphological forms of primary sarcomas of the lungs found in the literature from 1957 to 1972. Histomorphology, clinic and prognosis are discussed. Beside a higher average age and a predominating right-hand localization, the favourable postoperative prognose is impressing.
