The symptoms occurred 7 days before hospitalisation. The boy did not vomit, nor did he have the urge to vomit, the defecation was regular showing no traces of blood. The physical visit a soft and painless tumefaction was confirmed ileocecally. The echography tests and the computed tomography suggested invagination, not excluding the second substrate. Barium enema showed irreductible invagination. The operative test showed that it was about the ileocolic invagination with extreme thickening of the cecum, the ascedental colon, the intestine and the retroperitoneum walls. A resection of the small intestine and a ileocolic anastomosis was performed. The pathohistological test shows the primar abdominal Burkitt's lymphoma. In spite of the subsequent therapy the boy dies three weeks after the first symptoms' manifestation. We, herewith, suggest at the importance of ...

Osteosarcoma is a rare complication of radiation therapy and usually occurs after a long latent period. We report the case of 75-year-old female with osteosarcoma of the mastoid process. Twelve years before presentation she received radiation therapy after total parotidectomy and radical neck dissection in treatment of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland. Diagnostic procedures included contrast-enhanced CT and MRI of the head and neck and HRCT of the temporal bone. The final diagnosis of the low grade osteosarcoma was confirmed by biopsy. Diagnostic criteria were fulfilled and the lesion was classified as a radiation induced osteosarcoma.
