Radyoterapi sonrası kutanöz anjiosarkom gelişimi

Anjiosarkom küçük kan damarlarındaki endotel hücrelerden kaynaklanan ve nadir görülen bir tümördür. Her organı etkileyebilmekle birlikte sıklıkla deri, yumuşak doku, karaciğer, dalak, kalp ve meme tutulmaktadır. İyonize radyasyon tedavisi ve sarkom gelişimi arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koyan çok sayıda veri mevcut ise de güncel literatürün gözden geçirilmesi sonucunda, akciğer kanseri için verilen radyoterapi sonrası anjiosarkom gelişimine rastlanmamıştır. Burada, akciğer kanseri için verilen radyoterapiden 18 yıl sonra anjiosarkom gelişen bir olgu sunulmaktadır.

Development of cutaneous angiosarcoma after radiotherapy

Angiosarcoma is a rare tumour, originated from the endothelial cells of small blood vessels. The disease may affect many organs, with the most frequently involved ones are skin, soft tissue, liver, spleen, heart and breast. Although there are lots of data to establish the relation between the ionizing radiation therapy and the development of sarcoma, a review of the recent literature did not reveal any development of angiosarcoma after radiotherapy which had been administered for lung cancer. In this report, development of cutaneous angiosarcoma 18 years after radiotherapy for lung cancer is presented.
