| Popis: | Two cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis are presented. Both are unusual in that they had had radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy six and 14 years previously with no evidence of tumour recurrence. One case of necrotizing fasciitis has previously been cited in the literature associated with radiotherapy (Krespi et al., 1981). The two cases are discussed along with a review of the literature. |
