Radiation Recall Myositis

Abstract

The myxoid liposarcoma is a lipogenic tumor that originated from deep soft tissue. We report a 55-year-old man who underwent treatment for resection of myxoid liposarcoma with radiotherapy and chemotherapy sequences. This patient had what we call radiation recall which is a localized inflammatory reaction triggered by the use of cytotoxic agents in an area only irradiated. While usually limited to the superficial tissues and manifesting as a cutaneous reaction, cases of deeper inflammation involving the muscles have been reported with gentamicin.
