Abstrakt: A case is reported of a 73-year old female patient in whom precancerous symptoms appeared in the mid-abdominal area of application which for a long time were mistaken for chronic eczema, until after 7 years the development of a skin carcinoma was clinically and histologically confirmed. The case provides a reason to draw attention to the "Radium Cushion" and to restate publicly that they should be delivered to the health authorities. Suspected cases must be thoroughly investigated medically.
