Benign Mass Lesions After Therapy for Hodgkin's Disease

Abstract

Two patients with stage 2A Hodgkin's disease were treated with chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. After treatment, both patients had mass lesions. Resection and histologic examination of these lesions showed only fibrosis, necrosis, and inflammation. Benign mass lesions occurring after therapy for Hodgkin's disease have not been previously described.
