[Clinical picture and treatment of lesions of the epidural space in lymphosarcoma].

The article presents the results of the examination and treatment of 10 lymphosarcoma patients with damage to the epidural space. The neurological symptomatology was due to the compression of the spinal cord or the vessels supplying it. The results of the treatment depended on the sensitivity of the lymphosarcoma to cytostatic therapy and on how early the treatment was initiated.

[Clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of the brain lesions in lymphosarcomas].

The study group included 11 patients with brain metastases of disseminated lymphosarcoma. The most common clinical course was progression of the disease which manifested itself in the advancement of general cerebral symptoms as well as focal ones indicative of hemisphere, subcortex or cerebral trunk involvement. High single intravenous doses of cyclophosphamide and rubomycin and radiotherapy or their combination appeared highly effective in cases of brain specific involvement: complete or partial regression of neurologic symptoms was observed in 7 and 3 patients, respectively.
