21% of 81 patients with malignant neoplasms of the ovaries had lymphographic evidence of metastases in regional iliac and aortic lymph nodes. The frequency of lymphatic metastases in various stages was approximately the same (FIGO stage I = 17%, II = 21%, III = 19%). About one fifth of patients therefore had to be restaged. Lymphography should be used for staging routinely, even if a laparotomy is planned.
81例卵巢恶性肿瘤患者中，21%有淋巴管造影显示髂区和主动脉旁淋巴结转移。各期的淋巴转移频率大致相同（国际妇产科联盟分期：I期 = 17%，II期 = 21%，III期 = 19%）。因此，约五分之一的患者需要重新分期。即使计划进行剖腹手术，淋巴管造影也应常规用于分期。
