A case of osteosarcoma of the iliac bone developing 12 years after the successful management of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is presented. The frequency of secondary tumors, mainly bone malignancies, following therapeutic irradiation in the pediatric age-group, and the criteria for the diagnosis of radiation-induced bone sarcoma are discussed.
