Abstract: | A case of fibrosarcoma arising in the scar of the radical mastectomy with postoperative irradiation of breast carcinoma is
reported. The tumors arose five times in spite of the extirpations including surrounding tissue since 11 years after radical
mastectomy and postoperative irradiation. All of arisen tumors were diagnosed fibrosarcoma histologically and with every recurrence
the aggrevation of malignancy of tumors was shown. In this case, the primary tumor of the breast was infiltrating carcinoma
and no sign of fibrosarcoma was noted histologically. The mastectomy scar was indicated the irradiation therapy postoperatively
and fibrosarcoma developed 11 years after postoperative irradiation. Namely, this case agreed to the strict criteria of the
postirradiation sarcoma proposed by Cahan et al. In this paper, a case of postirradiation fibrosarcoma arising in the scar
of radical mastectomy for carcinoma is presented. |
