The case history of a patient who was treated for Stage IA Hodgkin's disease involving the left supraclavicular region is presented. Shortly after mantle field radiation therapy she developed a mass in the anterior mediastinum. Histological examination of the lesion revealed it to be a benign cyst of the thymus. We consider it important that the possibility of the existence of such a benign growth be considered when a mediastinal mass appears in a patient treated for Hodgkin's disease, before more intensive tumour therapy is given.
本文介绍了一名患有累及左锁骨上区的IA期霍奇金病患者的病史。在进行斗篷野放射治疗后不久，她在前纵隔出现了一个肿块。对该病变进行组织学检查发现是一个胸腺良性囊肿。我们认为，对于接受霍奇金病治疗的患者，在给予更强化的肿瘤治疗之前，当出现纵隔肿块时，考虑存在这种良性生长的可能性非常重要。
