A 65-year-old male was referred to our hospital with drowsiness for the last 6 months. He had undergone radiation therapy for pituitary adenoma 43 years ago. An MRI revealed a right temporal lobe tumour that consisted of a well-demarcated haemorrhagic lesion and an avid contrast enhancement, with significant vasogenic oedema. Surgical resection was performed and a post-operative pathological diagnosis of an angiosarcoma was made. A Thorotrast-associated angiosarcoma has been, hitherto, the only reported case of radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the brain. We present an extremely rare case of primary angiosarcoma of the brain, occurring after external beam radiotherapy.}, title = {Radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the brain}, volume = {2}, year = {2015} }
