Surgical Treatment of Proximal Femur Metastasis of Breast Cancer 5 years since Primary Diagnosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Treatment of a patient with breast cancer with bone metastases remains a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons and oncologists. Problem is especially important since breast cancer is still the most common cancer in women and bone metastases are most common metastatic site. We present a case report where treatment of proximal femur metastasis five years after primary breast cancer diagnosis not only relieved patient from symptoms, increased patient life quality, but also had great impact on systemic tumor treatment due to histopathological examination of metastasis to proximal femur.

متن کاملInfluence of the Different Primary Cancers and Different Types of Bone Metastasis on the Lesion-based Artificial Neural Network Value Calculated by a Computer-aided Diagnostic System,BONENAVI, on Bone Scintigraphy Images
Objective(s): BONENAVI, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. This system provides the artificial neural network (ANN) and bone scan index (BSI) values. ANN is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while BSI is related to the amount of bone metastasis. The degree of uptake on bone scintigraphy can be affected by the type of bone metastasis. Therefore, t...

Introduction. Bleeding episodes in severe hemophilia may occur more frequently and spontaneously after mild trauma or daily activities. An inadequate treatment of that bleeding in hemophilia may result in pseudotumor, usually in the muscle adjacent to the bone. We reported haemophilic pseudotumor treated with various surgical interventions. Methods. This study was conducted inthe Departme...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Metastasis to Pituitary Infandibulum
Metastasis from breast cancer to other parts of the body is very common, but the spread of the tumor to pituitary gland, especially to infandibulum, is a rare presentation. At the time of pituitary metastasis, a majority of the patients have clinical and radiological evidence of the disease. It seems that the posterior area of the gland is the most common site of metastasis, probably due to hig...
متن کاملPartial long-stem resection Austin-Moore hip endoprosthesis in the treatment of metastases to the proximal femur.
Background. The proximal femur is a frequent location of bone metastases, and pathological fractures in this area are common. A pathological fracture and/or pain associated with bone destruction are indications for surgery. Among many methods of surgical treatment, partial resection and subsequent arthroplasty appears to be the most efficient. The low cost of the implant and the relatively simp...
