  • Title: Impaired dentofacial development after radiotherapy of a non-Hodgkin lymphoma: report of case.
    Author: Folwaczny M, Hickel R.
    Journal: ASDC J Dent Child; 2000; 67(6):428-30, 407. PubMed ID: 11204069.
    Abstract:
    Since the advances in therapy of childhood malignancies have improved life expectancy attention is now increasingly focused on the long-term effects of antineoplastic therapy. Developmental abnormalities due to antineoplastic therapy have been claimed to preferentially occur in children treated before the age of six years. This report of a case demonstrates severe developmental disturbances following radiotherapy of a cervical non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the age of eight years. The morphological changes included microdontia, root shortening, blunting and thinning as well as mandibular hypoplasia.
