Abstract
- Radiation-induced morphea in breast cancer patients who have been treated with radiotherapy is now a well-recognized clinical entity. It is characterized by marked sclerosis, erythema and pigmentary changes. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman who presented with erythematous indurated patches on the right shoulder and back area where radiation therapy had been given for breast cancer. Histopathologic examination revealed marked thickening of the dermis, consisting of sclerotic, densely aggregated collagen bundles.
