Vitoria Nallin de Godoy, Miguel Ângelo Benedicto Júnior, Priscila Florêncio de Oliveira, Mariana Maiti Marcondes Silva, César Augusto Cardoso
Abstract
Radio-induced osteosarcoma of the head and neck is a rare yet malignant condition. This report describes a 62-year-old male patient who developed an osteosarcoma as a result of radiation therapy for his primary tumor located at the base of the tongue 12 years prior. The diagnosis of this specific tumor type is guided by criteria proposed by Cahan and Woodard, facilitating its early identification and treatment.
