“…Surprisingly, the survey also revealed that even young dermatologists consider radiotherapy an important therapeutic modality. These findings are supported by our own observations in Europe; approximately 10,000 patients are seen every year in the radiotherapy section of the Department of Dermatology in the University of Munich, either for radiation therapy or for follow‐up visits. Most visits are for radiotherapy of skin cancers, but some patients receive X‐ray treatments for benign dermatoses not responsive to other forms of therapy.…”

“…T he number of patients treated with ionizing radiation, both for skin cancers and benign dermatoses, has decreased markedly during the past decades ,,,,. In the matter of treating cutaneous cancers, this drastic change is due mainly to advances in conventional dermatosurgical techniques, and the introduction of new therapeutic methods, namely, cryosurgery, chemosurgery and fresh‐tissue microscopically‐controlled surgery, and cytostatic or immunosuppressive therapy. Greater awareness of inevitable sequelae of radiation among physicians and patients has also contributed to lesser resort to radiotherapy ,,…”

We fully support the recent recommendations of the Committee on the Treatment of Benign Diseases with Ionizing Radiation of the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, and we administer radiation therapy only after a true diagnosis has been made and other therapeutic measures have either failed or are very likely to fail.…”

Limited indications for radiation treatment of benign dermatoses are presented in order to emphasize modern restrictions and techniques in the use of dermatologic radiation therapy and to promote measures of protection against stray radiation. The use of softer, less penetrating X rays, least effective doses and meticulous shielding are recommended. So done, radiation therapy offers an effective therapeutic alternative for conditions that do not respond to other forms of treatment.

Accidental exposure to ionizing radiation may occur during such catastrophic events as the Chernobyl accident in 1986 or over days to weeks as in Goiania in 1987 and in the military camp during the training of soldiers in Lilo/Georgia in 1997, as well as in medical institutions. The cutaneous symptoms after radiation exposure are based on a combination of inflammatory processes and alteration of cellular proliferation as a result of a specific pattern of transcriptionally activated proinflammatory cytokines and growth factors. They follow a time course consisting of prodromal erythema, latency period, acute stage, chronic stage and late stage. The entire complex is referred to as cutaneous radiation syndrome. The time course depends on several factors such as the radiation dose, radiation quality, individual radiation sensitivity, the extent of contamination and absorption and amount of skin exposed. For the diagnosis of the cutaneous radiation syndrome the following procedures are used: 7.5 MHz to 20 MHz-B-scan sonography, thermography, capillary microscopy, profilometry, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphy and histology. Based on the results of experimental and clinical research, today treatment may include topical or systemic corticosteroids, gamma-interferon, pentoxifylline, vitamin E and superoxide dismutase. The treatment depends on the stage of the cutaneous radiation syndrome. Due to the complexity of the clinical manifestations of radiation disease, most patients require interdisciplinary treatment in specialized centres. Dermatologists are essential partners in the life-long follow-up and therapy of such patients.

“…In den meisten Fällen wird man es mit unkomplizierten planotuberösen oder tuberösen Hämangio men zu tun haben, und nur die kosmetische Beeinträchtigung des Kindes und das Drängen der Eltern können den Arzt zu einer Röntgenbestrahlung bewegen. Falls er sich zu einer Bestrahlung entschliesst, sollte er eine Dosie rung von 1000-1200 r nicht überschreiten [1,4,6]. Wir haben uns vorläufig noch positiv zu einer derartigen Bestrahlung tuberöser Hämangiome einge stellt, weil wir den Eindruck haben, dass der Prozess der Spontaninvolution dadurch angeregt bzw.…”

The treatment of hemangiomas with X-rays has been sharply criticized because of their tendency to involute spontaneously. It has been the aim of this catamnestic study to re-examine for X-ray injury those patients, whose hemangiomas were irradiated 15–20 years ago. The findings indicate that signs of roentgenoderma can appear already with 800 r and increase rapidly over 1,500 r. The observed irreversible damages, however, were mostly not grave, but admonish a certain amount of restraint. An assessment of the effectiveness of low X-ray doses still requires verification considering a faster spontaneous involution.
