Abstract
A patient who received postoperative radiation therapy for the treatment of a chromophobe adenoma developed a fibrosarcoma of the pituitary gland region 10 years later. A single course of irradiation was given with a total dose to the pituitary of 4092 rad in 21 fractions and 29 days using Cobalt 60 radiation at a source to skin distance of 80 cm.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
