In 37 patients with seemingly localized non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the Waldeyer's ring (WR-NHL), lymphangiography (LAG) and/or gallium-67 scans (Ga-67 scans) were done. Before these procedures, 20 patients were diagnosed as Stage I, and 17 as Stage II. LAG was done for 30, and Ga-67 scans for 32, 25 of whom had both. Five patients (16%) were upstaged to Stage III or IV by Ga-67 scans. Only one (3%) had abnormal LAG findings, in whom Ga-67 scans also showed abnormal accumulation in the para-aortic region. Because of this low positive rate, LAG is not recommended for staging of WR-NHL.
对37例看似局限于瓦尔代尔环的非霍奇金淋巴瘤（WR-NHL）患者进行了淋巴管造影（LAG）和/或镓-67扫描（Ga-67扫描）。在这些检查之前，20例患者被诊断为I期，17例为II期。30例患者进行了LAG检查，32例进行了Ga-67扫描，其中25例两项检查都做了。5例患者（16%）经Ga-67扫描分期升至III期或IV期。只有1例（3%）LAG检查结果异常，该患者的Ga-67扫描也显示腹主动脉旁区域有异常聚集。由于阳性率低，不建议将LAG用于WR-NHL的分期。
