Abstract
A patient is reported who developed multiple basal-cell carcinomas of the skin, a breast carcinoma, an astrocytoma of the spinal cord, and a bronchial carcinoid tumor following multiple fluoroscopies during artificial pneumothorax treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. A review of the literature revealed no previously documented cases of radiation-induced gliomas of the spinal cord.Entities:
