    Abstract:
    A 70 years old patient is presented who was nephrectomized because of carcinoma of the kidney following retrograde pyelography with Thorotrast in 1940. Despite of local application of the contrast medium thorotrastosis was also seen in liver, spleen and probably in bone marrow. Possible causal connections are discussed. Thorium was identified in the kidney and in the liver with an electron beam microprobe.
