Clin Otolaryngol Allied Sci. 1995 Aug;20(4):323-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2273.1995.tb00051.x.

Abstract

Three patients with a radiation-induced fibrosarcoma of the tongue are presented. All three patients had interstitial radiotherapy and tumour-induction by irradiation seems to be the most likely explanation for the tumour in these patients.
