Sarcomatoid Tumor following Radium TreatmentDOI: 10.1159/000486476 Keywords: Sarcomatoid carcinoma, Radium treatment, Haemangioma, Sarcoma, Squamous cell carcinoma Abstract: Haemangiomas are benign skin lesions that usually regress spontaneously, but radiotherapy has previously been used to assist the regression and healing of the lesions. Radium and X-rays were used as a treatment for benign skin lesions such as haemangioma until the carcinogenic effect of ionising radiation in humans was described. We report a patient diagnosed with a sarcomatoid carcinoma. Her past history was of particular interest since she had received radium treatment for a haemangioma at the same location more than 70 years before
