متن کاملRadiation-induced Leiomyosarcoma of the Oral Cavity: A Rare Occurrence Detected on 18F-FDG PET/CT
Radiation-induced sarcomas (RIS) or postirradiation sarcomas have been reported as a rare long-term complication of radiation therapy (RT). The survival benefit offered by radiotherapy has been masked by an increase in the incidence of these sarcomas, thus making radiotherapy a double-edged sword. RIS generally develop with a mean latency period of 10-15 years and encompass different histologic...

متن کاملSingle Orbital Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Orbital metastasis of prostate cancer (PC) is very rare and even more unique in castration-resistant PC (CRPC). In this scenario, choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (choline PET/CT) is the gold-standard restaging method of choice available in our setting, and new anti-androgens treatments show improvement in overall survival. Case presentation: We report the...
