Radiation Induced Sarcoma of Pelvis

Abstract

Radiation-induced sarcomas are uncommon potential late sequelae of radiation therapy. These tumors are aggressive, occurring in bones or soft tissues in an irradiated area after a latent period of five or more years following radiotherapy. We report a case of radiation-induced osteosarcoma involving the pelvic girdle with latency period of 11 years following whole pelvis radiation treatment for carcinoma cervix.
