Peripheral neuroectodermal tumor of the chest wall in a patient treated for Hodgkin's disease.

Abstract

The occurrence of second malignancies after treatment for Hodgkin's disease is a well recognized phenomenon. In this report we describe a case of a 22-year-old male who developed a peripheral neuroectodermal tumor of the chest wall four years after completing successful treatment with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease.
