title: Lipoid pneumonitis complicating treatment of Hodgkin's disease.
abstract: The development of lipoid pneumonitis (LP) is associated with exposure to mineral, animal or vegetable oils through inhalation or local application. We report here on a 34-year-old patient with lipoid pneumonitis complicating the treatment of Hodgkin's disease. A review of the relevant literature on the pathophysiology and diagnosis of LP is provided with emphasis on possible mechanisms of development of LP in Hodgkin's disease.
