Multiple head and neck neoplasia following radiation for benign disease during childhood

Journal Article · · J. Surg. Oncol.; (United States)
; ;
A woman received radiation therapy to the adenoids for benign disease at the age of 10 years and subsequently developed an adenocarcinoma of the middle ear, a parathyroid adenoma, and a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland in adulthood. This appears to be the first such case on record. The literature of neoplasia after head and neck irradiation is briefly reviewed.
