Abstract:
Four cases are presented in which young girls received radiation therapy to treat childhood malignancies. Subsequently, one breast, which had been included in the radiation field in each case did not develop. This phenomenon has been seen after orthovoltage as well as supervoltage therapy, but is not mentioned in recent diagnostic imaging literature.
