Abstract     A patient who developed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the field of radiation 19 years after radiotherapy for stage I seminoma is presented. Data from recent population-based studies evaluating the risk of second malignancies in this group of patients is discussed. This case report illustrates the need for judicious evaluation of adjuvant radiotherapy in early stage seminoma patients.
Summary     Opisujemo primer bolnika, ki je bil pred 19-imi leti adjuvantno zdravljen z radioterapijo zaradi seminoma, stadij I, nato pa je zbolel zaradi malignega perifernega tumorja živčnih ovojnic, ki je nastal v obsevalnem polju. Razpravljamo o novejših podatkih, ki govore o morebitnem tveganju bolnikov s seminomom, da bi zboleli za sekundarnim malignomom glede na ostalo populacijo. Tudi opisani primer bolnika kaže na potrebo skrbne evaluacije dosedanje radioterapije pri bolnikih z zgodnjo obliko seminoma.
