Description
We report a 70-year-old female patient with a history of pelvic irradiation for the treatment of vaginal cancer. The interval from irradiation to the onset of pain in the hip was 23 months (right hip) and 46 months (left hip). Radiogram and MRI showed rapid and wide changes in the femoral neck and hip joints after the onset of pain. (author)
