Radiation therapy alone to the nodal drainage sites above the diaphragm, namely a "mantle" field, is often standard treatment for early stage Hodgkin's disease and may be used in combination with chemotherapy in more advance disease. Localised pneumonitis and fibrosis are recognised treatment related sequelae; however, other pulmonary complications, including pneumothorax, have been described. Two cases of spontaneous pneumothorax following mantle radiation therapy are presented.
单独对横膈以上的淋巴结引流部位进行放射治疗，即“斗篷”野照射，通常是早期霍奇金病的标准治疗方法，在病情进展时也可与化疗联合使用。局部肺炎和纤维化是公认的与治疗相关的后遗症；然而，也有其他肺部并发症的报道，包括气胸。本文介绍了两例斗篷野放射治疗后发生的自发性气胸病例。
