Objective:
Hyoid bone metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma is exceedingly rare. This study aims to provide an experience to clinicians in the differential diagnosis of hyoid tumors and discusses its possible source.
Methods And Results:
We report a 68-year-old male patient having hyoid bone metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. The initial symptom of the hyoid bone metastasis was neck pain exacerbated by swallowing. The hyoid bone mass was resected based on comprehensive analysis including whole-body bone imaging and pathologic analysis of the hyoid bone mass. The adenocarcinoma of hyoid was identified as a metastatic lesion of lung adenocarcinoma. The patient recovered well and the anterior cervical pain was significantly alleviated after surgery and the patient underwent corresponding chemotherapy.
Conclusion:
In patients with hyoid metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma, surgical resection may reduce the pain in anterior cervical after full consideration of physical condition.
