Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen has been evaluated as an adjunct in the staging of 25 patients with Hodgkin's disease and non- Hodgkin's lymphomas. Enlarged para-aortic nodes were consistently identified as were splenomegaly and larger splenic nodules. While lymphography and other staging procedures remain necessary in the evaluation of such patients, CT provides additional information useful to the surgeon. The cross-sectional display aids in the planning of appropriate therapy ports since the adenopathy is often found to be more extensive than was demonstrated at lymphography.
