Comparative examination of 102 patients with mechanical jaundice of neoplastic genesis and 107 virus hepatitis patients aged > 40 yr showed that the primary clinical examination permits diagnosis of the disease with a certain degree of reliability, whereas biochemical and cytological findings confirm the diagnosis only when they are made for the 2nd time. The final diagnosis of the underlying disease in mechanical jaundice should be verified under specialized hospital conditions.
