Abstract
We report a case of paravertebral angiosarcoma 10 years after treatmen t for testicular seminoma. The patient underwent irradiation treatment to areas including the mediastinum. Tumor induction by therapeutic ir radiation remains the most likely etiology. Other possibilities includ e a natural association between seminoma and angiosarcoma, and perhaps the use of chemotherapy.
