A Sarcoma at the Site of Previous Extravasation of Adriamycin
We report the case of a 66-year-old man presenting with a high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma at the left elbow 16 years after
the extravasation of adriamycin given for a malignant ifbrous histiocytoma of the tibia.We suggest that this sarcoma originated
in a multistep way over many years, out of the chronic inflammatory tissue that developed due to a non-specific cellular
damage at the nuclear level, interfering with normal cell replication necessary for normal healing tissue healing. As a result,
the non-healed chronic inflammatory tissue transformed over several years into a preneoplastic mesenchymal tumour and
later into a high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma
