“…Mark et al (12) reported a 5 year disease-free survival of only 8%. Patel reported that 5 year survival rate of post radiation sarcomas of head and neck was worse than other sarcomas of the head and neck (2). Reasons for this poor prognosis are related to: a delay in diagnosis because of local post-radiational changes, proximity of major structures of neck limiting the surgical resection, the dangers of reirradiation of the primary area, insensitivity of tumors to chemotherapy and host immunosuppression caused by the first tumor and treatment.…”

“…Radiation induced sarcomas are rare, arising in 0.035-0.2% of all irradiated patients, and represent less than 5% of all sarcomas (2). By definition, these tumors arise in previously irradiated area, histologically different from the originally treated tumor, no evidence of the sarcoma at the time of diagnosis of primary tumor and there is at least a 4 year interval between radiation therapy and sarcoma (3).…”

“…Im Kopf-Hals-Bereich wird ihre spontane Inzidenz mit lediglich ca. 3% angegeben [16,12]. Als Risikofaktoren sind eine vorangegangene Strahlenexposition, die Exposition mit Phenoxylsäuren und eine mögliche Induktion durch den SV40-Virus beschrieben [5].…”

“…Strahleninduzierte MFH treten am häufigsten im Bereich des Brustund Bauchraums nach Radiation von Mamma-und Zervixkarzinomen sowie Lymphomen auf [1,4,5,8]. Über ihr Vorkommen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich finden sich in der Literatur nur in sehr wenige Einzelfallberichte, wobei überwiegend intraossär lokalisierte Tumoren beschrieben sind [2,9,10,12,15,16].…”
