Abstract

The incidence of radiation-induced tumors is increasing in the oncology population as a result of increased survival, with improvement in cancer treatment. Exposure to therapeutic doses of radiation has also been shown to be associated with an increased risk of a second cancer, though the precise risk remains unknown. The occurrence of sarcomas in irradiated tissues is an uncommon but well-documented long-term complication of radiotherapy. In the current study, the case of a 55-year-old man presented with maxillary osteosarcoma occurring 22 years post radiation for his maxillary lymphoma.
