Abstract EN
Radiodermatitis is a known complication in patients having undergone radiotherapy.
It usually appears 2 to 5 years after irradiation.
We are reporting on a case of radiodermatitis that occurred within months after coronary dilatation and stenting.
It started with painful swelling, followed by a typical appearance on the skin surface.
Histological finding confirmed the diagnosis.
However, magnetic resonance imaging showed changes in the subcutaneous tissue extending into the ribs.
A radical debridement was performed including removal of a partially necrotic 4th rib.
The defect was closed with a latissimus dorsi transposition flap.
Our findings are compared with the literature reports.
