This paper presents the histological appearance of the lymph nodes in cases of osteogenic sarcoma of the limb bones. The nodes were studied for the degree of sinus histiocytosis. Cases with no sinus histiocytosis showed a poor prognosis while cases with moderate to marked sinus histiocytosis showed a better rate of survival. Since the regional lymph nodes play an important part in the immunological process, preservation of regional nodes is suggested.
本文展示了四肢骨肉瘤病例中淋巴结的组织学表现。对这些淋巴结进行了窦组织细胞增生程度的研究。无窦组织细胞增生的病例预后较差,而中度至显著窦组织细胞增生的病例生存率更高。由于区域淋巴结在免疫过程中起重要作用,因此建议保留区域淋巴结。
