Neurogenic fibrosarcoma following radiation therapy for seminoma

Urology. 1989 May;33(5):420-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(89)90040-x.

Abstract

We report a case of radiation-induced neurogenic fibrosarcoma that developed in a patient who received radiation therapy for seminoma. The sarcoma developed within the irradiated field after a latency period of nineteen years. Although the occurrence of a secondary neoplasm is unusual, this possibility should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with tumor growth after a long interval following radiation therapy.
