A pleomorphic liposarcoma arising in a site previously irradiated as a treatment for breast carcinoma is described. This case fulfills the criteria for a tumor to be radiation‐induced. The tumor is localized with an irradiated area, there is a clear histologic distinction between the previous and current tumor, and there is a long latent interval.
