Abstract

Extra corporeal irradiation (ECI) is a rarely employed technique of irradiation in malignant bone tumour. In this procedure post en-bloc resection of bone it is irradiated with a dose of 50Gy in a single fraction and then it is reimplanted. This procedure ensures high rate of local control, better anatomical fit and functional outcome. In this
case report we present the first case of extracorporeal irradiation in central India.
