  • Development of cavernous haemangioma following radical chemo-radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

  • J R Ellenbogen, S M Joshi, N Kitchen
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 123 / Issue 8 / August 2009

  • Objective:

    We report an adult case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with radical chemo-radiotherapy, with subsequent development of a histologically proved temporal cavernous haemangioma within the radiation field.

    Method:

    Case report and review of the current literature concerning radiation-induced, secondary, space-occupying lesions.

    Conclusion:

    The increasing role of radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment, together with improved patient survival, is likely to lead to radiation-induced, secondary, space-occupying lesions being encountered more frequently. We emphasise the need to be vigilant for this important but relatively rare complication, which has significant associated morbidity.
