Case
Summary
Diagnosis: Solitary Lytic Metastasis
Clinical hints:
Metastases are the commonest bone tumors in the adult
population. This man had a left nephrectomy years ago for
renal cell carcinoma. A solitary plasmacytoma might look the
same, but it is rare.
Radiological Pearls:
- single or multiple lytic lesions
- may be expansile (e.g. renal cell ca)
- may see soft tissue reaction
- lesions seen earlier on bone scan
