A 3-year-old, male neutered domestic shorthair cat, presented for acute onset tail paresis. He was diagnosed with a spindle cell tumour at the level of L7-CD1 and treated with course fractionation radiation therapy. Three years following radiation therapy, the cat developed chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the pelvis, suspected to be secondary to radiation therapy. Hemipelvectomy was performed and the cat was treated with radiation therapy for remaining gross disease. The cat was euthanized 127 days post-operatively due to suspected metastatic disease. Development of radiation-induced tumours should be considered as a rare late complication in cats undergoing radiation therapy.

Abstract Abstract 4292 INTRODUCTION Radiation induced cavernous hemangioma (RICH) is a late complication of cerebral radiation therapy. An increased number of long term surviving blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) recipients have recovered from their primary disease but are at risk of RICH. METHODS We investigated 66 patients who underwent BMT during childhood or adolescence. We evaluated RICH numbers, size, location and their annual changes. Furthermore we developed scoring system of RICH in order to classify severity. MRI of the brain was performed annually for 5 to 27 years after BMT, including gradient-echo sequence (T2* weighted image). RICH SCORE 1-4 is designated as mild, 5-9 as moderate and 10 or more as severe. RESULTS Twenty-five patients (37.9%) was diagnosed RICH. The age at the time of the diagnosis was 11-40 years old (median 27 years old). The age at the time of BMT was 1-22 years old (median 9 years old). The period from BMT to diagnosis was 10-24 years (median 16 years). All cases received TBI as conditioning of BMT and/or cranial radiation (CR) prior to BMT as treatment of primary disease. RICH was found in 25/48 (52%) who received TBI and/or CR, and was not found in any of 18 patients without radiation therapy to the brain. Total dose to the brain was 10-36 Gy. Clinical manifestations were present only in four cases. RICH SCORE ranged 1-18 points (median 4 points). Small RICHs tended to be recognized only by T2* weighted image, but not by routine imaging methods. Classification of the severity was mild in 13 patients, moderate in 8 patients and severe in 4 patients. Severity was correlated with higher radiation dose and/or with younger ages at transplantation. RICH SCORE increased yearly in 7 of 25 patients. One case developed giant RICH more than 40mm as shown in the attached image. CONCLUSION High incidence of RICH was found in long term survivors who underwent BMT with radiation therapy. Since all of those patients did not show RICH before BMT and all positive patients had a history of radiation therapy to the brain, the cause of RICH in those patients was considered to be radiation. Careful and long term evaluation with MRI including T2* weighted image is necessary in BMT recipients who received radiation therapy prior and/or during BMT.

Radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) is a late complication of radiation therapy for brain and skull base tumors. RION leads to the devastating total vision loss in one or both eyes. Therefore, the early detection of RION is vital. Since visual symptoms and clinical signs of RION are not present at early stages of the radiation injury, it is essential to apply a diagnostic test to detect RION as early as possible in order to start therapeutic interventions. The author proposes to apply visual evoked potential (VEP) as a diagnostic test in the interval time after radiation therapy.
