  • Title: [Radiation-induced chondrosarcoma of the scapula following mastectomy].
    Author: Noppeney T, Link W, Flesch R, Giedl J.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1984 Feb 02; 102(5):98-100. PubMed ID: 6698477.
    Abstract:
    In the medical literature we found published four cases of irradiation induced chondrosarcoma of the scapula. We present a fifth one and report about a 63 year old female patient. She underwent a left radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Pre- and postoperatively a local irradiation of 140,00 Gy was applied. After a disease free interval of 18 years a large tumor in the left scapula was histologically confirmed as a chondrosarcoma. All criterias of Cahan for an irradiation induced sarcoma are fulfilled.
