Metastatic Hip Tumor in a Middle-Aged Woman

A 44-year-old woman was referred to physical therapy by a podiatrist for "iliotibial band syndrome." No imaging had been done, and she denied all constitutional symptoms, but reported having breast cancer 5 years earlier. Following an increase in pain, radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging were performed, and biopsy confirmed a metastatic breast cancer tumor.
