摘要
AIM: To investigate the radiological findings of head and neck radiation-induced sarcomas (RISs) following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-nine patients with RISs were identified. Imaging characteristics on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including lesion location, extent, size, margin, internal architecture, pattern, and degree of enhancement, together with patient characteristics at NPC diagnosis and latency periods, were reviewed. RESULTS: The study included 20 women and 39 men, with a median age of 49 years (range 30-71 years). The median latency was 9 years (range 3-37 years). The median radiation dose at the site of RIS was 66 Gy (range 44-78 Gy). The most common histological RIS types were fibrosarcoma (44.1%) and osteosarcoma (30.5%). The most common RIS sites were the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity (39%), the neck (16.9%), and the mandible (15.3%). The mean size was 5.1 cm (range 1.2-8.6 cm). Overall, 78% of lesions extended to adjacent spaces and 66.1% were accompanied by bone destruction. Heterogeneous density/signal intensity before and after enhancement was seen in all lesions on imaging. Marked lesion enhancement was noted in 49 cases (76.3%). CONCLUSIONS: The radiologist should be aware of the different sites at which RISs occur and the radiological appearance of the wide variety of RIS subtypes. Careful imaging follow-up is necessary for early detection of RISs in patients with NPC after radiotherapy. (c) 2013 The Royal College of Radiologists. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
