Abstract
The occurrence of radiation necrosis to the extravasation of therapeutic radionuclide-yttrium-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan-is described, as well as the subsequent steps taken to both address the occurrence and to prevent the re-occurrence of such an adverse event. Published reports on the extravasation of diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides are reviewed, as are prevention and treatment protocols. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
