Abstract
In 21 patients with fever of unknown etiology, extensive clinical investigations were undertaken to find, or rule out, malignant disease, collagenosis, or an inflammatory process. In 8 patients lymphography was positive, demonstrating retroperitoneal lymphoma. The value of lymphography before planning a laparotomy was stressed.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
