[The onset of double metachronous neoplasms 29 years after the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease].
The occurrence of two new cancers (a diffuse centrocytic lymphoma and a basal cell cancer) in a patient successfully treated for Hodgkin's disease 29 years before is reported. The centrocytic lymphoma mainly involved the skin, the basal cell carcinoma developed on the dorsum of the right hand. The patient had received high-dose Roentgen-radiation therapy on the mediastinum and lymph nodes for his Hodgkin's disease. The possible relationship between performed therapy and occurrence of new malignancies is discussed.
