[Hodgkin's disease in two children of mother treated with nitrogranulogen].

Abstract

Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed in a 12-year old boy and a 2-year old his sister whose mother had been treated with repeated cycles of nitrogen mustard for optic neuritis. The mother received the first treatment two years prior to the boy's birth, and subsequently, in recurrent optic neuritis, three years prior to the birth of the girl.
