We performed histopathological examination of the iliac lymph node and diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), stage IIIA.

Pelvic bone complications following radiation therapy of gynecologic malignancies: clinical evaluation of radiation-induced pelvic insufficiency fractures.

Objective: To investigate the incidence, clinical and imaging finding of insufficiency fractures (IF) of the female pelvis following radiation therapy.

All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scan every 6 months in follow-up after radiation therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radionuclide bone scan were added when the patients complained of a pelvic pain.
