[Ultrasonic diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].

Analyzes the results of ultrasonic examinations of 111 patients with various forms of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Reviews ultrasonic semeiotics of non-Hodgkin's lymphadenopathy of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space and of extranodal variants of lymphoma course (with involvement of the spleen and stomach). Suggests the most safe method for precision diagnostic aspiration biopsy of the spleen monitored by ultrasound. The author considers ultrasonic examination to be a valuable method for the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas; it is economic, rapid, safe, permits a simultaneous assessment of the status of many organs and systems. The results of ultrasonic examinations should be assessed in complex with the results of other diagnostic methods. Ultrasonic examination should be considered as a method of choice for monitoring patients with diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
