Popis: A 75-year-old female patient presented with late stage cutaneous radiation syndrome, following postoperative combined radiotherapy for cervical carcinoma administered 32 years ago. She was hospitalized because of a deep abscess in the radiation-exposed area on the sacrum. Extension into the subcutaneous fibrosis was verified by 7,5-MHz-sonography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. With intravenous cefotiam (Spizef) 2.0 g three times daily, the inflammation decreased, as seen clinically and with nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. As a secondary finding, an unusual distinctive subcutaneous calcification was diagnosed in the radiation-exposed area by means of 7,5-MHz-sonography, as well as computer- and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. These subcutaneous calcifications are most likely to have been radiation-induced.
