The appearances are described of abdominal lymphography in seven patients with thalassaemia major. All were severely and chronically anaemic. An abnormal course of lymphatic channels was seen in only one case. Nodal filling defects were found in all patients, lying centrally and peripherally, in para-aortic and iliac glands. The findings correlate well with the microscopic features of lymph nodes removed at therapeutic splenectomy. These show haemosiderin deposition and foci of extramedullary erythropoeisis.
本文描述了7例重型地中海贫血患者的腹部淋巴造影表现。所有患者均患有严重的慢性贫血。仅1例患者可见淋巴管走行异常。所有患者均发现淋巴结充盈缺损，位于主动脉旁和髂淋巴结的中央和周边。这些发现与治疗性脾切除术中切除的淋巴结的微观特征密切相关。这些淋巴结显示有含铁血黄素沉积和髓外造血灶。
