Abstract
Three cases with avascular necrosis of the femoral head are reported of which one showed bilateral disease. Two patients with Hodgkin's disease of mixed cellularity underwent polychemotherapy; the third with gastric centroblastic non-Hodgkin lymphoma received abdominal irradiation followed by 3 courses of polychemotherapy. Total dose of prednisolone administered varied between 4,080-7,045 mg. Time elapsed between appearance of pain and significant radiologic features was several months. Patients with Hodgkin's disease were young and were both exposed to significant physical strain. Multiple factors are thought to be responsible for this late sequel of therapy in which the role of cortisone is stressed. Computed tomography is of great value in detecting disease at an early phase and depicting its real extent.
