Irradiation-induced chest osteomyelitis is still actual problem despite an improvement of modern medical equipment and accumulation of experience in radiotherapy. Surgery is preferable method of treatment. Comprehensive examination including contrast-enhanced chest CT with 3D reconstruction and Doppler ultrasound of vascular pedicle is valuable to determine type of resection and plastic technique. Simultaneous approach with resection and plastic closure of the wound is preferred for irradiation-induced chest osteomyelitis if sufficient amount of plastic material is available and contraindications for reconstructive surgery are absent.
