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.
放射性回忆性皮炎是一种皮肤炎症反应，通常发生在先前接受过放射治疗的区域，通常是在随后接触到加重因素后发生。回忆性皮炎可在放射治疗后数周至数月发生，放射治疗和皮炎之间的最长时间间隔已报道约为 25 年。在这里，我们报告了一例乳腺癌放射治疗 40 年后自发发生的复发性放射性回忆性皮炎。该病例表明，放射性回忆性皮炎的发生时间可能比以前报道的要晚得多。尽管表现较晚，但局部抗炎药仍能很好地控制病情。
