title: [Radiation-induced chondrosarcoma of the scapula following mastectomy].
abstract: In the medical literature we found published four cases of irradiation induced chondrosarcoma of the scapula. We present a fifth one and report about a 63 year old female patient. She underwent a left radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Pre- and postoperatively a local irradiation of 140,00 Gy was applied. After a disease free interval of 18 years a large tumor in the left scapula was histologically confirmed as a chondrosarcoma. All criterias of Cahan for an irradiation induced sarcoma are fulfilled.
