Teenager status post radiation therapy to the spine now with a curvature to the spine

CXR of post radiation scoliosis
CXR AP (left) taken as an infant shows a round left-sided soft tissue mass that was in the posterior mediastinum and found to be neuroblastoma that was subsequently treated in part with radiation therapy. CXR AP (right) taken 17 years later shows a curvature of the upper thoracic spine convex to the right.

The diagnosis was post radiation scoliosis in a patient with neuroblastoma.
