Combined clinico-roentgenological investigations of the thoracic organs, spleen, bone and lymphatic systems (using low lymphography) were conducted in 123 patients with acute leukemia. Clinico-roentgenological variants of acute leukemia have been distinguished, they differ in the organs and systems affected, in the process spreading by the lymphatic routes+, in the clinical course pattern and response to the treatment. Clinico-roentgenological variants of acute leukemia have shown that different pathogenetic mechanisms may act in the same cytomorphologic type of the disease. They should be taken into consideration in classification of acute leukemia. |
