Description

A report is given on a patient who had been irradiated because of benign diseases in the head-neck region and who, 15 to 52 years after this radiotherapy, suffered from seven carcinomas in the formerly irradiated region. The irradiation executed in young age is supposed to be the cause of the unusual number of carcinomas. The literature dealing with this problem is discussed. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wird ueber eine Patientin berichtet, bei der sich 15 bis 52 Jahre nach Strahlenbehandlung gutartiger Erkrankungen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich sieben Karzinome in den ehemals bestrahlten Regionen entwickelten. Ein ursaechlicher Zusammenhang zwischen der in jugendlichem Alter durchgefuehrten Bestrahlung und der ungewoehnlichen Anzahl von Karzinombildungen ist anzunehmen. Zu dieser Problematik wird das Schrifttum diskutiert. (orig.)
