Abstract
SILVA, Mayara Oliveira da and DUARTE, Márcio Luís. Radiation Recall Myositis. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.3, pp.25-26. Epub Dec 29, 2023. ISSN 2183-1351. https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.27137.
We report a 55-year-old man who underwent treatment for resection of myxoid liposarcoma with radiotherapy and chemotherapy sequences. The patient had what we call radiation recall - it is a localized inflammatory reaction triggered by the use of cytotoxic agents. While usually limited to the superficial tissues and manifesting as a cutaneous reaction, cases of deeper inflammation involving the muscles have been reported with gemcitabine.
