Abstract
|
|
|
|
Radiation-induced osteosarcoma is a very rare complication of radiation therapy, with a poor prognosis. We experienced a case of radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the sternum, in a patient who had had breast cancer treated with surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and adjuvant radiation therapy 6 years earlier. A 53-year-old woman complained of a painful anterior chest wall mass. The mass was diagnosed as osteosarcoma on biopsy. The radiation-induced osteosarcoma had an aggressive nature.
