|September 13, 2016
Summary
A rare case of colonic adenocarcinoma presented as a solitary bone metastasis mimicking sarcoma. This unusual presentation highlights the importance of considering metastatic disease in unexplained bone lesions.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Gastroenterology
- Orthopedic Oncology
Background:
- Colonic adenocarcinoma is a common malignancy.
- Metastasis is a frequent complication of advanced cancer.
- Solitary bone metastasis as the initial presentation is rare.
Observation:
- A 68-year-old man presented with hip pain and a pelvic mass.
- Imaging suggested a primary bone sarcoma.
- Biopsy revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma, with the colon identified as the primary source.
Findings:
- The patient's colonic adenocarcinoma manifested as a solitary bony metastasis.
- This presentation mimicked a primary bone sarcoma.
- No other signs or symptoms of malignancy were initially present.
Implications:
- This case underscores the need for thorough investigation of unexplained bone lesions.
- It highlights the diverse presentations of colonic adenocarcinoma.
- Early detection of such rare presentations can improve patient outcomes.

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants
19.1K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Appendicitis-I: Introduction
3.2K
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Muscles that Move the Thigh
3.3K
The thigh's motion is primarily governed by muscles originating in the pelvic girdle and inserted into the femur. One crucial muscle, the iliopsoas, is a combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscles, sharing a common insertion point on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
9.0K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones
14.5K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Pain
1.7K
Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...
