Abstract
Subcutaneous calcification following radiotherapy is a very rare late complication Here we report a case of radiotherapy for Hodgkin’s disease in a patient with ichthyosis Our review of the literature revealed that subcutaneous calcifications occurred in previously normal skin following irradiation In our case the calcification developed in abnormal skin after telecobalt radiotherapy for mediastinal Hodgkin’s disease Ichthyosis is a systemic cutaneous disease and may increase the risk of late radiation complicationsAll authors substantially contributed to this work and have all read and approved the final manuscript There are no direct or indirect commercial or financial incentives associated with publishing this article This manuscript or portions of thereof are not under consideration by any other journal
