Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign disease affecting young males with a propensity to invade intracranially and into the orbit along preformed pathways. Complete surgical excision is the mainstay of management. Patients with multiple recurrences along with tumour extension into skull base and orbit can be considered for external beam radiation as either adjuvant or definitive treatment. Possibility of radiation-induced malignancy has been speculated by many authors, proof of which exists in only two studies so far. This report focuses on radiation-induced leiomyosarcoma in a patient with recurrent juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
青少年鼻咽血管纤维瘤是一种良性疾病,好发于年轻男性,易沿既定路径侵入颅内和眼眶。完整手术切除是主要治疗方法。对于多次复发且肿瘤侵犯颅底和眼眶的患者,可考虑将外照射放疗作为辅助治疗或根治性治疗。许多作者推测了放疗诱发恶性肿瘤的可能性,但迄今为止仅有两项研究有相关证据。本报告重点介绍一例复发性青少年鼻咽血管纤维瘤患者发生的放疗诱发平滑肌肉瘤。
