Radiation-induced malignancies (RIMs) are rare but well-documented late toxicities associated with exposure to radiation or radiotherapy. A keloid scar is a common benign proliferation of scar tissue which commonly develops at the site of an injury, such as on the earlobe after ear-piercing. While typically reserved for management of malignancies, radiotherapy is often utilized in the management of some benign conditions, including keloids. Given the benign nature of keloids, any theoretical late toxicity from radiotherapy, particularly a life-threatening toxicity such as a RIM, is particularly concerning. Here, we report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented with a radiation induced mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland which developed in a previously irradiated field ten years after the patient received electron radiotherapy for a keloid of the earlobe. Using available literature, we estimate the risk of a RIM of the parotid gland from a typical course of radiotherapy to the earlobe as 0.007% per year.
