Özet
We hereby describe a case of Hodgkin lymphoma treated with radiotherapy to head and neck region, who further developed lung and multiple skin cancers. A 50-year-old male patient with stage IA Hodgkin lymphoma was treated with radiotherapy to mantle zone. Six years later we detected basal cell carcinoma on his nose, invasive epidermoid carcinoma on his right ear, and in-situ epidermoid carcinoma on left infraorbital area. After surgical removal, radiotherapy was applied to right auricular area and left infraorbital area due to close lateral margin and the patient's refusal for re-excision. One year later he admitted with dyspnea. We detected a mass involving the upper and middle zones of his right lung, and bronchoscopic biopsy revealed epidermoid carcinoma. Vena cava superior syndrome was established, and he was re-treated with radiotherapy and medical treatment. His medical condition deteriorated, and 15 days later he died.
