Isolated bone marrow metastasis of testicular tumor: A rare cause of thrombocytopenia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated bone marrow metastasis of testicular tumor is very rare. Here, we report this case of a 21-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with generalized body pain, which was severe and weakness for one month. He had a history of an operative intervention for the left testicular mass about 6 months ago which was diagnosed as mixed germ cell tumor on histopathological examination. The blood investigations showed anemia, low platelets, and elevated tumor markers. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy examination showed metastatic deposits of mixed germ cell tumor. There were no foci of disease in any other part of the body. The patient was given chemotherapy, i.e. cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin. After completion of chemotherapy, there was drastic improvement in pain and weakness. A repeat examination of bone marrow done after 3 month was free of tumor.

متن کاملBone marrow metastasis of colon cancer as the first site of recurrence: A case report
Bone marrow metastasis from solid tumors is usually accepted as not only incurable, but as fatal. Colon cancer is a relatively rare malignancy that involves the bone marrow, and to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies in the literature reporting only bone marrow metastasis of colon cancer as the first presentation of relapse. The present study reports the case of a 74-year-old ...
متن کاملBone marrow metastasis presenting as bicytopenia originating from hepatocellular carcinoma
The bone is a common site for metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, bone marrow metastasis from HCC is rarely reported, and its frequency is unclear. Here we report a rare case of bone marrow metastasis that presented as bicytopenia originating from HCC without bone metastasis. A 58-year-old man was admitted for investigation of a liver mass with extensive lymph node enlargemen...
متن کاملA very rare case of metachronous multicentric giant cell tumor of bone with benign lung metastasis in form of a very large mass lesion
Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign, locally aggressive tumour of the bone that accounts for 5% of primary bone tumours and 21% of benign bone tumours. This tumour more commonly presents as a single (solitary) lesion; however, it may appear with multiple (multicentric) lesions in less than 1% of the cases. According to the literature, 1-9% of solitary GCTs metastasizes to the lung, more commonl...
