Spindle cell carcinoma of the tongue in a long-term survivor of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 1997

Department of Paediatric Oncology, Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh, Scotland.

A 25-year-old male previously treated (age 9 years) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia developed a spindle cell carcinoma of the tongue. Possible causes for the development of his second malignancy are discussed. A combination of scatter from cranial irradiation, poor oral hygiene, alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking is likely to be contributory. Genetic predisposition can never be fully excluded.

D016609 Neoplasms, Second Primary Abnormal growths of tissue that follow a previous neoplasm but are not metastases of the latter. The second neoplasm may have the same or different histological type and can occur in the same or different organs as the previous neoplasm but in all cases arises from an independent oncogenic event. The development of the second neoplasm may or may not be related to the treatment for the previous neoplasm since genetic risk or predisposing factors may actually be the cause.
