| Title | Bone: Radiation Fibrosis of Sternum |
| Creator | MUSC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine |
| Date | 1900-1999 |
| Subject | Pathology;Bone Diseases--pathology |
| Description | Radiation fibrosis of sternum. Much scarring is present in the soft tissues surrounding the sternum (large arrows). The abnormality of the bone of the sternum itself (small arrows) is attributed to a "growth deformity". This patient received irradiation to the mediastinum for Hodgkin's disease and was incapacitated by extensive pulmonary fibrosis and constrictive pericarditis, most probably secondary to irradiation. No evidence of Hodgkin's disease at autopsy. |
