1. 1. The case histories and biopsy specimens of 142 patients who had prescalene lymph node biopsies performed are reviewed. The biopsy correlated with the primary pulmonary disease in 52.5 per cent of the cases in which specific histological or bacteriological changes could have been found because of the nature of the intrathoracic disease. A major complication rate of 2.6 per cent was noted in this series. 2. 2. The positive correlation rate was 40.7 per cent in fifty-four patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and 79.4 per cent in thirty-four patients with Boeck's sarcoid. The highest percentage of correlation in sarcoidosis was noted when hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy was present on the roentgenogram of the chest. 3. 3. Other disease entities diagnosed by prescalene lymph node biopsies were tuberculosis, malignancy metastatic to the lung, intrathoracic lymphoma, carcinoma of the esophagus and anthracosilicosis. |
