ABSTRACT
Multiple ultrasonographic (USG) evaluations of abdomen were performed in 97 patients 30 with Hodgkin's disease (HD), 60 with non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and 7 with primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) before or during chemo- or X-ray therapy. In 33% of HD patients USG was normal, while in 63% splenomegaly, in 40% hepatomegaly and in 20% lymph node enlargement were observed. After therapy, in 57% USG was improved and in only 3% of patients worsening was observed. In NHL patients splenomegaly was observed in 70%, hepatomegaly in 60% and lymph node enlargement in 35%. During follow-up, in 49% of patients improvement and in 3% worsening was observed. In 5 patients with PGL no changes were observed, in further 2 patients in Stage IV stomach wall and infiltration of nearest lymph nodes was observed. USG evaluation of abdomen may be useful in staging and therapy monitoring of malignant lymphomas.
