ABSTRACT
Historically, scleroderma and other collagenous diseases have been considered a relative contraindication to radiation. The literature has few studies describing poor outcomes and cosmesis in this situation and there are almost no data concerning about reirradiation and colagenosis. The authors describe a case of a patient with a soft tissue sarcoma in the arm submitted to conservative surgery. They describe the outcome, cosmesis and function of this rare twice-irradiated scleroderma patient.
