Abstract
1.The present paper reports a case (a 44 years old female) of pulmonary fibrosis. The case had been given a long-termed post-operative depth radiation therapy of high dosage on her mammary cancer. During the depth therapy, no roentgenographic picture of pulmonary fibrosis was noted until the postmortem examnation for confirmation.
2. In the histopathological diagnosis, the findings on the present case concurred with those of the pulmonary fibrosis due to radiation described by Anderson.
3. The present case is a case which was difficult to be diagnosed as pulmonary fibrosis on account of the complications of metastatic lung carcinoma, pleural carcinoma, etc.
