[The role of x-ray studies in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors of the axillary space].

Clinico-roentgenological findings in 148 patients with an axillary location of tumor are described. Thirty two of them had benign tumors (lipomas, fibromas, angiomas), 8-malignant (sarcomas), 57-systemic diseases associated with increased lymph nodes (lymphogranulomatosis, leucosis, etc), 18-inflammatory processes (tuberculosis, abscess), 35-accessory lobes of mammary glands. It was found that the method in question permitted, taking into account clinical data, in most cases to establish a differential diagnosis between various tumor processes of this localization.
