Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Radiotherapy as treatment of tumors without surgical indication may have late complications, such as the onset of other malignant tumors, like sarcomas. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) represents an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma and it usually affects elderly patients. MFH of the vagina are usually large lesions due to rapid growth, and histological examination is crucial for establishing a definitive diagnosis. The authors present a case report of a 61-year-old female patient, submitted to radiotherapy for carcinoma of the cervix who presented with a vaginal MFH 9 years after radiotherapy.
