Abstract Oesophageal-pericardial fistula after radiation therapy for lung cancer is a rare complication associated with a high mortality. In this case report, we present the case of 52-year-old women with late radiation-induced oesophagitis after chemoradiotherapy for a pulmonary adenocarcinoma, complicated by an oesophageal-pericardial fistula for which a transthoracic oesophagectomy with pericardial drainage was performed. The postoperative course was complicated by a fatal hypovolaemic shock due to a perforation of the descending aorta near the initial fistula track. In this case report, we illustrate the importance of thorough inspection of diagnostic images in this context and emphasize the role of endovascular repair in case an associated aortic perforation is suspected.

AbstractBackground:Radiation therapy is a commonly used treatment in head and neck oncology, whether used alone or as an adjunct to other treatments. Osteoradionecrosis and radiation-induced malignancy are both rare, late complications of radiation therapy.Methods:This paper describes a case of radiation-induced sarcoma of the mandible initially presenting as osteoradionecrosis. In addition, the literature on the identification and treatment of these entities is reviewed.Results:The patient underwent excision and reconstruction of the presumed osteoradionecrosis. Final pathology demonstrated radiation-induced sarcoma. The patient suffered tumour recurrence at seven months post-operatively.Conclusion:When evaluating a patient with osteoradionecrosis, clinicians should be cognisant of the risk of malignancy. This paper describes the first case of radiation-induced sarcoma presenting as osteoradionecrosis. Primary treatment of radiation-induced sarcoma is wide surgical extirpation, with a very limited role for chemotherapy. Overall survival for this entity is poor.

Background Radiotherapy is widely used as an effective adjunctive treatment modality in conjunction with conservative surgery for breast cancer. Radiation-induced skeletal changes in the shoulder region have been reported in 1% to 3% of patients who have undergone this treatment modality. With treatment techniques improving life expectancy, there is an increasing number of patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty surgery with a history of cancer radiation therapy. To our knowledge, there are no reports focusing on potential radiation-related pathologic fractures of the shoulder after shoulder arthroplasty. Case report We present a case of catastrophic failure of glenoid component fixation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in a patient with previous high-dose radiation to the breast and supraclavicular areas. In this patient, failure of ingrowth of the baseplate and incorporation of the glenoid bone graft lead to eventual component loosening and subsidence. In addition, insufficiency fractures of the scapular body and base of the scapular spine occurred, complicating the clinical situation. The likely cause of these complications stems from radiation-induced impaired bone metabolism directly limiting bone remodeling potential. Conclusion This is a rare complication following RSA but highlights a concern that must be considered prior to implantation of the prosthesis that requires bone ingrowth for fixation.

Radiation Induced

Abstract A 32-year-old man developed an intracranial glioblastoma multiforme 10 years after irradiation for an incompletely resected convexity meningioma. The association of these two tumors is exceedingly rare. Therefore, we propose that this is a case of radiation-induced glioma and review the evidence supporting this view.
