lüll Radiation-induced chondrosarcomas: a case report with review of literature Gupta G; Hafiz A; Gandhi JSJ Cancer Res Ther 2010[Jul]; 6 (3): 394-6Radiation therapy has become an important component of various cancer treatments. The development of second malignancy as a result of radiation therapy is a well-known sinister complication. However, radiation-induced sarcomas (RIS) are rare complications of radiation therapy. The timescale between completion of the radiotherapy and the development of a second malignancy, known as the latent period, can vary widely from as little as 5 years to 50 years later. Radiation-induced sarcomas per se are very rare and those with histomorphology of chondrosarcomas are even rarer. We report a rare case of RIS of left iliac bone in a 62-year-old lady after combined chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma (stage IIb). This case is being reported for its extreme rarity, vivid histology and clinical presentation.|Adenocarcinoma/radiotherapy[MESH]|Chondrosarcoma/*etiology/pathology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced/*etiology/pathology[MESH]|Uterine Cervical Neoplasms/radiotherapy[MESH] |
