title: [Thorium-induced neoplasia of the spleen? (author's transl)].
abstract: A patient is presented in whom multiple lienal circular foci are seen 25 years after application of a thorium-containing contrast medium for vascular visualization, over and above the well-known characteristic ThO2 deposits in the liver and spleen. The article discusses the problem whether these circular foci which meet the angiographic criteria of an angioblastic sarcoma, should be considered as a thiorium-induced neoplasia.
