    Lymphangiography aids in detecting metastases for soft tissue sarcomas and bone tumors. This diagnostic imaging technique showed a significant incidence of metastases, particularly in specific tumor types and locations, supporting its broader clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Lymphatic system involvement is crucial in staging sarcomas.
    • Accurate detection of metastases impacts treatment decisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of lymphangiography in diagnosing metastases in patients with soft tissue sarcomas and primary malignant bone tumors.
    • To determine the incidence of lymph node metastases based on tumor site and histology.

    Main Methods:

    • Lymphangiography was performed on 79 patients with soft tissue sarcomas and 46 with primary malignant bone tumors.
    • Radiographic and histologic correlations of lymph node status were analyzed.
    • Incidence of metastases was calculated based on tumor origin and type.

    Main Results:

    • Overall metastasis incidence was 28% in soft tissue sarcomas and 17% in bone tumors.
    • Highest metastasis rates in soft tissue sarcomas were observed in buttock (57%) and inferior limb (31%) tumors.
    • Specific histologies like anaplastic sarcoma (50%) and rhabdomyosarcoma (43%) showed higher metastasis rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Lymphangiography is a valuable tool for detecting lymph node metastases in sarcomas.
    • The study suggests increased utilization of lymphangiography in the diagnostic workup of these malignancies.
