A 66-year-old man with thorotrastosis of the reticuloendothelial system is described. Post mortem two tumours were found in an enlarged liver: a cholangiocarcinoma and an angiosarcoma. Coincidentally, a hilar neurofibroma was found. The former two tumours most probably developed because of a lifelong endogenous alpha-irradiation by thorium disintegration. The exceptional latency period of 60 years' duration is emphasized.
本文描述了一名患有网状内皮系统钍中毒的66岁男性。尸检发现肝脏肿大，有两个肿瘤：一个胆管癌和一个血管肉瘤。巧合的是，还发现了一个肝门神经纤维瘤。前两个肿瘤很可能是由于钍衰变产生的终身内源性α射线照射所致。强调了长达60年的异常潜伏期。
