Retroperitoneal fibrosis following treatment for Hodgkin's disease.

Abstract

With improvement and refinement of therapy, the majority of Hodgkin's disease patients are alive and free of disease at 5 years. As these patients continue to be observed, a variety of late complications have been reported. We describe herein three patients who developed retroperitoneal fibrosis following definitive therapy for Hodgkin's disease. The incidence approaches that seen with methysergide.
