[Radiation changes of the lungs following irradiation for carcinoma].
Moderately edematous lungs were ascertained in four cases of radiation pneumonitis causing death in connection with irradiating the carcinoma of the lungs by way of currently used orthovoltage actinotherapy. Histologically the most conspicuous were the findings of the hyaline alveolar membrane and the cellular atypia of endothel of the alveoles and the lymph-ducts.
