Abstract

Two autopsied cases of radiation induced gliosarco-ma are presented in detail with a review of the literatu-res.

Case 1 was that of a 36-year-old female who was found to have a metastic choriocarcinoma in the right occipital lobe and received radiation therapy of 45 Gy. Four years later CT scan showed a new enhanced tumor in the cerebellum within the previously irradia-ted field. Total removal was performed and histological diagnosis of the tumor was a gliosarcoma. She died 12 months after the operation.

Case 2 was that of a 63-year-old male who had a pro-toplasmic astrocytoma in the left temporal lobe and re-ceived radiation therapy of 60 Gy after surgery. The tumor recurred in the left temporal base after 9 years. Histological finding of the surgical specimens showed gliosarcoma. The patient died 2 months after he was operated on. The tumors had obviously two defined neoplastic components. One was gliomatous features with anaplastic glial cells which stained for glial fibril-lary acidic protein. The other was malignant mesenchy-mal features with spindle shaped fibrosarcoma cells which contained numerous reticulin fibers. Postmortem examination revealed these similar features. Criteria for identifying a tumor as a radiation in-duced neoplasm have been proposed by Fajado. The main criterion is that the induced tumor should occur in the previously irradiated field. Secondly, it should appear after a latent period. Thirdly, the pathology should be different from the initial neoplasm. Our cases fulfil these criteria. These two malignant tumors occur-red after irradiation and were highly suspected to be radiation-induced neoplasms. This report is thought to be the first report of radiation-induced gliosarcoma.
