Abstract
The carcinogenic effect of ionizing radiation is a well known phenomen on. However, the induction of malignancies following irradiation for h ead and neck cancers is quite rare (Steeves and Vataini, 1982). Most r eported cases are osteogenic sarcomas with soft tissue sarcomas encoun tered less often. We report a rare case of fibrosarcoma of the larynx, following radiation therapy for glottic carcinoma.
