[Comparison of computed tomography results and pathological findings after laparotomy with splenectomy in Hodgkin's disease].

: In 69 patients (pts) with Hodgkin's disease (HD) in I-IIIA clinical stage results of abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) were compared with pathological staging. Concordance (specificity) of CT scan with results of macroscopic evaluation of HD lesions in the abdomen during laparotomy with splenectomy was 83%. Accuracy CT results and microscopic findings was 80%. False positive results of CT were found in 11.6% of patients and false negative in 8.6%. Specificity and sensitivity of CT versus to pathological staging were 84% and 63% respectively. The results presented here confirm, that pathological staging after laparotomy with splenectomy in HD was some advantage in precise prediction of some patients to radiotherapy and planning of irradiated fields.
