Association between Osteosarcoma and Acromegaly: A New Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Coexistence of acromegaly and osteosarcoma is very rare. Very few cases have been reported by the literature. Here we report the case of a 55 year-old acromegalic woman, who presented with a pathologic femoral fracture. A bone biopsy was done and an osteosarcoma was confirmed. Since the patient doesn’t have other risk factors for osteosarcoma pathology, the hypothesis is that there is a relationship between the increased rate of bone formation and the development of osteosarcoma.
