| Popis: | An elderly patient is presented who developed a fatal angiosarcoma of the hip about ten years after surgery and radiation for a uterine malignancy. She developed a metastasis of the uterine tumor, requiring additional radiation, which led to aseptic necrosis of the hip and chronic joint and soft tissue infection of the hip from a joint prosthesis. Subsequently she developed chronic lymphedema of the hip and finally the cutaneous angiosarcoma in this area. Any or all of these factors might bear a causative relationship to the angiosarcoma, but none can be proved. |
