1Radiologische Klinik, Abteilung Strahlentherapie, Universitätskrankenhaus Hamburg-Eppendorf.
Abstract:
Numerous cases of radiation-induced malignoma have been described, where the radiation osteosarcomas are placed in the foreground. In this article a case of a female patient is described who developed not only a radiation-induced osteosarcoma but also a thyroid gland carcinoma after a previous postsurgical mamma carcinoma whereby the irradiation dose of the radiation sarcoma is about 64 Gy and for the thyroid gland carcinoma about 12 Gy.
