  • Title: A rare late complication after concomitant chemoradiation of an oropharyngeal tumor: cervical necrotizing fasciitis.
    Author: Karakullukçu B, van der Vlies D, Hoebers FJ.
    Journal: Kulak Burun Bogaz Ihtis Derg; 2012; 22(2):105-8. PubMed ID: 22548268.
    Abstract:
    Chemoradiation is increasingly being used to treat locally advanced head and neck carcinomas. Possible rare complications of this treatment modality have begun to appear, as the number of treated patients increase. In this report, we present a case who underwent chemoradiation due to T3N3M0 tonsil cancer and developed necrotizing fasciitis of the neck at seven months following treatment. The patient recovered fully after treatment with surgical debridement with pectoralis major flap reconstruction and intravenous antibiotherapy.
