Description
A case report describes a stiffening skin condition triggered by radiation in a woman who also had a skin lymphoma, published in 2026. Six authors are listed in the head byline. She developed a hard red plaque in the treated area about six and a half years after chest radiation for breast cancer.
Doctors had to rule out lymphoma spread and a radiation linked cancer. A skin biopsy showed thickened collagen with preserved immune markers, which fit the radiation condition rather than lymphoma. Steroid cream and then a stronger drug brought mild to moderate relief, and later surgery improved softness further. The authors stress prompt biopsy when post radiation skin changes linger.
