“…The exact radiation dose was not documented in the report. However, according to the reports on the radiation dose during artificial pneumothorax treatment, the radiation dose per one pneumothorax was estimated as 10 rads (cGy) in the back skin, 3 rads in the lung and 1 rad in the breast with an average time of one minute per one fluoroscopy (6), and most patients had received more than 100 times radiation dose from the fluorosopies (7). In addition, in the large study about lung cancer mortality risk after multiple chest fluoroscopies including more than 25000 tuberculosis patients, a mean radiation dose was estimated to be 102 cGy in the lung (8).…”

Radiation-induced spinal cord gliomas are extremely rare. Since the first case was reported in 1980, only six additional cases have been reported.; The radiation-induced gliomas were related to the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma, thyroid cancer, and medullomyoblastoma, and to multiple chest fluoroscopic examinations in pulmonary tuberculosis patient. We report a case of radiation-induced spinal cord glioblastoma developed in a 17-year-old girl after a 13-year latency period following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma. MRI findings of our case are described.
