Fractionated Β-radiation was applied on a conjunctival lymphangioma, which had been known for several years. Histological diagnosis was established 3 years previously. Excision was not possible because the tumor had involved a considerable part of the conjunctiva. Using a strontium-90 applicator a total dose of 30 Gy was applied in 6 fractions with 5 Gy each. The initial tolerance was satisfactory. No radiogenic damage occurred, an involution of the tumor could be observed. During a follow-up time of nearly 2 years no further progression was noted. We consider the Β-radiation as an interesting therapeutic alternative for conjunctival lymphangiomas which are difficult to treat surgically due to their size.
