| Abstract |
|
The improvement in survival for childhood cancer has been achieved through the use of multiple-
agent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, one of the limitations to quality and length of
survival has been the development of second malignant neoplasm.
We exprienced a case of second malignant neoplasm in 13-year-old boy who developed osteogenic
sarcoma after successful treatment of retinoblastoma. At 3 years of his age, he was diagnosed as
retinoblastoma and managed by enucleation of left eye at a university hospital in Seoul. Ten years
later, painful swelling was noted on the right ankle joint. Histopathological findings revealed
osteblastic osteogenic sarcoma and metastasis to lung was detected on chest X-ray. He received
multiple-agent chemotherapy for one time. Thereafter, he was lost to follow-up and expired 9 months
after diagnosis of second mailgnant neoplasm. |
