ABSTRACT = {Radiation induced malignancy (RIM) after treatment for 
prostate cancer is well documented after external beam 
irradiation, but less so in the setting of brachytherapy. 
We report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the 
prostate, consistent with a RIM, which developed 12 years after low dose rate brachytherapy for low risk 
prostate adenocarcinoma. Diagnostic and therapeutic 
considerations of RIM are discussed. As long term 
survivors are followed in the community by primary care 
physicians and urologists, awareness of RIM as a potential 
late effect of brachytherapy is important to ensure that 
cases are diagnosed and managed appropriately.},
