Popis:	Radiation recall dermatitis is an inflammatory reaction of the skin, which occurs at previously irradiated areas, usually following a subsequent exposure to an aggravating factor. Recall dermatitis can occur weeks to months after radiation, and the longest duration between radiation and dermatitis has been reported to be about 25 years. Here, we report a case of recurrent radiation recall dermatitis that developed spontaneously after 40 years following radiation for breast cancer. This case suggests that radiation recall dermatitis can occur much later than previously reported. In spite of this late presentation, topical anti-inflammatory agents managed the condition well.
