Sternberg‐Reed cells were demonstrated in seven out of 10 patients with Hodgkin's disease by catheterization of the thoracic duct. In two patients with normal para‐aortic nodes on lymphangiography no Sternberg‐Reed cells were seen in the thoracic duct lymph. In one patient the diagnosis of abdominal Hodgkin's disease was established by thoracic duct lymph examination.
