Cancer. 1979 Dec;44(6):2324-9. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(197912)44:6<2324::aid-cncr2820440648>3.0.co;2-8.

Abstract

A case of fatal acute hepatic vein thrombosis occurred during treatment for Hodgkin's disease. At necropsy no evidence of Hodgkin's disease or obliterative venoocclusive disease of the liver was found. We speculate that Adriamycin, DTIC and/or vinblastine may have been responsible for this unusual disorder.
