    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Radiotherapy is a common treatment for various cancers, including cervical cancer.
    • While effective, radiotherapy can lead to long-term complications.
    • Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy arising from blood vessels in the skin.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old woman presented with a lower abdominal cutaneous angiosarcoma.
    • The angiosarcoma developed at the site of previous radiotherapy.
    • The patient had received radiation therapy 23 years prior for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix uteri.

    Findings:

    • This case represents a rare instance of post-irradiation angiosarcoma.
    • The long latency period (23 years) between radiotherapy and angiosarcoma development is notable.

  • Dermatologists may have limited familiarity with this specific late complication of radiation therapy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing late-onset cutaneous malignancies following radiotherapy.
    • Increased awareness among dermatologists and oncologists is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
    • Further research into the mechanisms and risk factors for post-irradiation angiosarcoma is warranted.
