[Calcifications in mediastinal lymphoma after radiation therapy of Hodgkin's disease. (author's transl)].
One case of calcifications in mediastihal lymphoma after radiation therapy of Hodgkin's disease is reported. The incidence of these calcifications is remarkably low. They are mostly localized in the anterior mediastinum showing a characteristical pattern which is initially stippled, later confluent and coral-shaped. An open interval after radiation therapy is typical for this phenomenon. The cause of the calcifications is discussed.
