Objective: Study the epidemiology, histology, time to onset, treatment and prognosis of radiation induced sarcomas. Observation: We report a case of sarcomas occurring in irradiated area, in a patient treated by external radiotherapy for left orbit cancer Discussion: Few series of induced radiation sarcoma of the cervical and facial region have been published these over the last twenty last years. Their prevalence is low; several factors are recognized in their carcinogenesis. Genetic predisposition; chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Conclusion: Radiation therapy can induce cancer after a latency period of several years. The risk is low but increases proportionately a longer period of treatment. These radiation induced sarcomas have generally an unfavorable prognosis and their treatment is primarily with surgery.
