Recurrent radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the sternum in a patient with remote radiation therapy for breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: Recurrent radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the sternum following remote radiation therapy for breast cancer and sternal reconstruction.

CASE: A 51-year-old woman presents with recurrent, radiation-induced sternal osteosarcoma 11 years after receiving both radiation therapy for breast cancer and sternal reconstruction. The case details both her work-up and subsequent course, including reconstructive and curative efforts.

DISCUSSION: An uncommon side effect of radiation therapy for breast cancer is development of osteosarcoma of the chest wall. Even rarer is recurrence of the osteosarcoma following sternal reconstruction.
