- Abstract
The pretreatment roentgenographic evaluation of 105 consecutive patients less than 16 years of age with Hodgkin's disease was reviewed. The patients were divided into groups aged 1-10 years (37%) and 11-15 years (63%). All patients had chest roentgenograms, of which 36% were abnormal in the younger group and 77% abnormal in the older group. Full-lung tomography was helpful only when the chest film was abnormal or equivocal. Foot lymphography was performed in 103 patients with 20% positive for Hodgkin's disease. Lymphographic-histologic correlation was 98% in the 62 patients undergoing laparotomy. Routine skeletal surveys, as well as examinations of the urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract, were not rewarding.
