- Abstract
We report on a patient with a history of Ewing sarcoma who underwent surgery and subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He developed low-back pain 6 months after the end of the radiotherapy and during consolidation chemotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence of myositis corresponding to the 'radiation-recall phenomenon', an inflammatory reaction of irradiated tissue.
