Exposure to internally deposited radionuclides is known to induce malignant tumors of various histological types. Thorotrast, a colloidal suspension of radioactive Thorium dioxide (232ThO2) that emits alpha‐particles, was used as a radiographic contrast during World War II. Thorotrast is known to induce liver tumors, particularly intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and angiosarcoma (AS), decades after injection. Therefore, patients injected with Thorotrast comprise a suitable study group to understand biological effects of internal ionizing radiation injury. Autoradiography and X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) were carried out on non‐tumorous liver sections from Thorotrast‐induced ICC (T‐ICC) and Thorotrast‐induced AS (T‐AS). Autoradiography revealed that the slope of the regression line of the number of alpha tracks for the amount of deposited Thorium (232Th) was higher in non‐tumorous parts of the liver with T‐ICC than those with T‐AS. XRF showed that the intensity ratio of Radium (Ra) to Thorium (Th) in non‐tumorous liver tissue with T‐ICC was significantly higher than that with T‐AS. Furthermore, the mean 228Ra/232Th radioactivity ratio at the time of death calculated was also significantly higher in T‐ICC cases than in T‐AS cases. These suggest that the metabolic behavior of radionuclides such as relocation and excretion, as well as the content of deposited radionuclides, is a major factor in determining the histological type of Thorotrast‐induced liver tumors.
