title: [Haemangiosarcomatosis after professional exposure to polyvinylchloride (author's transl)].
abstract: After taking a cursory look at neoplastic developments particularly at professional exposure to vinylchloride and polyvinylchloride, one case is reported in which a multilocular haemangiosarcomatosis occurred after a relatively short and only intermittent exposure to polyvinylchloride. The latent stage lasted 15 years. The vessel areas affected were the aorta abdominalis, the intrarenal kidney vessels, and the intracerebral vessel-systems. Symptomatically, the disease presented the picture of a progrediently advancing peripheral circulatory disturbance. The possibility of previous sclerotic damage caused by carbon sulphide is discussed.
