Abstract:
Radiation recall dermatitis is the development of an inflammatory reaction throughout an area previously irradiated, precipitated by the administration of certain drugs. A 48-year-old woman was postoperatively treated with radiotherapy for synovial sarcoma on her left hip. The total dose given was 46 Gy by 2 Gy per day. After 2 weeks, she underwent her 1st cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine, doxorubicin (MAID) chemotherapy teatment. After 3 days, erythema began to develop in the previously irradiated area and during the following 7 days a severe skin and subcutaneous reaction occurred. After 3 weeks, the skin lesion was completely healed and thereafter no further "recall" occurred despite a 2nd MAID chemotherapy treatment.
