Bilateral calcified renal metastases from osteosarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcified renal metastases from osteosarcoma are extremely rare. We present a case of a young female with osteosarcoma of the right ulna who developed late recurrence in the form of large metastatic calcified renal and pulmonary lesions. Review of the literature suggests that osteosarcoma metastases of the kidneys usually exhibit aggressive behaviour with poor prognosis. A brief review of the calcified renal metastases including the index case is presented.

Rare occurrence of bilateral breast and peritoneal metastases from osteogenic sarcoma.
Breast metastases are uncommon and typically spread from contralateral breast carcinomas. Breast metastases that spread from extramammary malignancies are even less common, and account for 0.5%-6.6% of all malignant breast disease. As extrapulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma are uncommon, breast metastasis from osteosarcoma is extremely rare. We report a case of breast and peritoneal metasta...
متن کاملThe role of FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of treatment response in a case of calcified ovarian metastases
Evaluation of calcified metastatic lesions by conventional imaging can be challenging. Ovarian cancer metastases can present with calcification which might increase in size and number following therapy. It is not entirely clear whether these calcifications are associated with tumor response or disease progression. Calcified lesions which do not change in size or configuration are particularly p...

متن کاملTargeting Angiogenesis-Dependent Calcified Neoplasms Using Combined Polymer Therapeutics
BACKGROUND There is an immense clinical need for novel therapeutics for the treatment of angiogenesis-dependent calcified neoplasms such as osteosarcomas and bone metastases. We developed a new therapeutic strategy to target bone metastases and calcified neoplasms using combined polymer-bound angiogenesis inhibitors. Using an advanced "living polymerization" technique, the reversible addition-f...
