Sažetak

We have compared clinical and post-mortem diagnoses of patients who had died because of a malignant tumour in the General Hospital Osijek in two periods: from 1969 to 1972 and from 1986 to 1988. In the later period CT and ultrasound examinations were used. In the earlier period the clinical diagnosis was not made in 17,3% of cases and in the later one in 11,1% of cases. The number of cases where the tumour was clinically falsely localized was smaller (25,1%) in the later period than in the earlier one (27,6%). We have critically analyzed the most common malignant tumours. In those cases where CT and/or ultrasound had been used the tumours had been diagnosed in high percentage of cases, but there were some clinically falsely interpreted findings. The length of stay in hospital was shortest in the group of patients who were not diagnosed clinically. The value of postmortem in the modern medicine has not been diminished.
