Abstract

Malignant solid tumors induced by radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease are uncommon. We report one case of thoracic esophageal squamous carcinoma diagnosed 19 years after mediastinal irradiation. The criteria usually accepted for the diagnosis of radiation cancer were all present in this case. An oesophagectomy was performed and the patient made a good recovery from the operation.
