Abstract:
A case of postradiation sarcoma, found in a 52-year-old woman, who underwent a total hystrectomy under the diagnosis of cervical cancer 12 years ago, followed by radiation therapy. The tumor invasion was extensive involving the left innominate bon and upper end of the left femur including the head and neck.
