Abstract
A case is presented of fatal veno-occlusive disease of the liver in a patient undergoing treatment by whole abdomen irradiation for carcinoma of the ovary. She had also been exposed to herbal tea and chemotherapy, each of which may cause veno-occlusive disease in its own right. Interaction of these agents is postulated and should be considered before submitting patients to combination treatment.Keywords
