The present investigation shows that the capacity of thyrolymphography for demonstrating the morphologic features of various thyroid lesions is not inferior to that of isotope scanning. On the contrary, lymphography is an effective procedure for detecting small nodules that remain undetected by other methods. Contrast medium is more rapidly distributed to lymph nodes in patients with diffuse goiter and also in patients pretreated with Lugol's solution. Finally, it is shown that the contrast medium employed (Lipiodol Ultra Fluid) remains in the lymph nodes for a period of several months.
