The authors examined biopsies of the interpleural lymph nodes harvested by mediastinoscopy and hilloscopy in 162 patients (133 males and 29 females). The diagnostic efficiency is very high in sarcoidosis, silicosis and in Hodgkin's disease. In sarcoidosis biopsy is able to indicate the evolutive stage of the disease. In malignant lymphogranulomatosis all the observations belonged to type II of nodular sclerosis. In bronchial carcinoma interpleural lymph node biopsy may be practised with diagnostic purposes or in order to check up operability.
作者检查了162例患者（133例男性和29例女性）通过纵隔镜检查和胸腔镜检查获取的胸膜间淋巴结活检标本。在结节病、矽肺和霍奇金病中，诊断效率非常高。在结节病中，活检能够指示疾病的演变阶段。在恶性淋巴肉芽肿病中，所有观察结果均属于结节硬化型II型。在支气管癌中，胸膜间淋巴结活检可用于诊断目的或检查手术可行性。
