Summary

Mediastinal lymph nodes have been demonstrated in a woman following intraperitoneal administration of 99mTc-sulfur colloid. Rapid uptake of the material in the lymphatics on the undersurface of the diaphragm resulted in substantial concentration of radioactivity in the lymph nodes in approximately 2½ hours.

Les ganglions lymphatiques médiastinaux ont été mis en évidence après injection intrapéritonéale de 99mTc-S. Par suite de l’absorption rapide du colloïde dans les vaisseaux lymphatiques subdiaphragmatiques, on note après 2½ heures une importante radioactivité au niveau des ganglions lymphatiques.

Nach intraperitonealer Injektion von 99mTc-Schwefelkolloid wurden mediastinale Lymphknoten in einer Patientin demonstriert. Die schnelle Absorption des Kolloids in die Lymphgefäße an der unteren Seite des Zwerchfells resultierte in einer beträchtlichen Aufnahme des radioaktiven Materials in den Lymphknoten in 2½ Stunden.
