ABSTRACT
Radiation-induced myonecrosis is a rare but serious complication of radiation therapy. We present a case of a 49-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed radiation-induced myonecrosis after concurrent chemoradiation for cervical cancer. She underwent external-beam radiation therapy, weekly cisplatin chemotherapy (40 mg/m2), and intracavitary brachytherapy. One month later, she received one cycle of nedaplatin (80 mg/m2) and irinotecan (60 mg/m2). Two months after treatment, she experienced pain in the left inguinal region. An MRI revealed a mass in the left obturator externus muscle and right pectineus muscle suggestive of myonecrosis. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. She received hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and her symptoms improved. The masses resolved completely.
