Abdominal lymphography was performed in 30 patients, 12 males and 18 females, with sarcoidosis. The diagnosis of disease was in every case histological, after mediastinal biopsy in 16 cases and after biopsy of lymph nodes in various sites in 14 cases. Mediastino-pulmonary involvement of varying degree was present in 23 patients. Lymphography revealed involvement of the inguinoretroperitoneal lymph nodes in 18 cases, bilateral in 15 of them. Lymphographic diagnosis of sarcoidosis is fairly arduous because the pattern elicited is very similar to that of lymphomas. The pathological findings were graded into 4 groups. No correlation between lymphographic pattern and duration and extent of the disease was demonstrated. In 5 patients with pathological lymphography lymph node biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The routine use of lymphography in patients with sarcoidosis is not to be racommended because the demonstration of extensive lymph node involvement does not affect the treatment in any way.

Cervical Lymph Node Biopsy

Nine cases of tuberculosis (TB) were diagnosed among 800 uremic patients, followed-up during 11 years, a prevalence of 1125%, 2.5 times higher than that in the general population. Six patients (66.7%) had lymph node involvement (4 cervical and 2 mediastinal). Three patients (33.3%) had pulmonary involvement (2 pleuro-pulmonary and 1 bilateral apical pulmonary). Eight patients were undergoing dialysis and 1 was pre-dialytic. The duration of dialysis ranged from 1 to 60 months. Three patients had previously received immunosuppressive drugs for unsuccessful renal transplantation. Daily fever was present in all but one patient; he was asymptomatic and TB was suspected after routine chest radiography. Biopsy was the diagnostic procedure in 7 patients (77.8%), four by direct cervical lymph node biopsy, 2 by mediastinal, performed by mediastinoscopy and 1 by pleural biopsy. In 2 other patients TB was confirmed by the presence of tubercle bacilli; in sputum (1 patient) and in a bronchial flushing specimen (the other patient). Triple therapy was used in all patients (isoniazid and ethambutol in all), plus rifampicin in 8 and streptomycin in 1. One patient had jaundice and another had optical neuritis. Five patients were cured. The other four died during treatment of causes unrelated to TB or its treatment.
