A 54-year-old man presenting a so-called super bone scan is reported. The patient had a past history of subtotal gastrectomy due to early gastric cancer 19 years previously. Laboratory data indicated microcytic anemia and high serum alkaline phosphatase. Both the serum calcium and phosphate levels were within normal ranges. In spite of extensive examination for a primary malignant lesion in the organs including the remaining stomach, no solid tumors were identified. Pathological examinations revealed that the tumor cells in the biopsy specimen from the lumbar spine were almost identical to those in the gastric cancer excised 19 years previously. We considered that micrometastases in the bone marrow existed at the time of the initial surgery for gastric cancer and reappeared 19 years later showing super bone scan.

“…The primary clinical characteristic of metastatic bone tumors originating from esophageal SCCs is osteolytic, and osteoplastic bone metastasis, which is common in prostate cancer, and it has also occasionally been reported in breast, lung [8,9], and gastric carcinoma [10,11]. However, the current patient exhibited osteoplastic bone metastasis, and no osteoplastic bone metastasis from esophageal SCC has been reported.…”

Osteoplastic bone metastasis in esophageal squamous cell cancer: report of a case

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This report presents a case of esophageal squamous cell cancer with osteoplastic bone metastasis. A 58-year-old male patient underwent multimodality treatment for esophageal cancer. Sclerotic changes resembling bone metastasis from prostate cancer were detected in the 4th thoracic and the 5th lumber vertebral body soon after the adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Systemic examinations revealed no primary cancer as a cause of osteoplastic bone metastasis and no esophageal cancer recurrence. A needle biopsy revealed metastases of esophageal squamous cell cancer with osteoplastic changes. Multiple sclerotic changes were detected in the systemic bones at that time, and new carcinomatous bilateral pleural effusion developed. The drastic systemic progression of the cancer caused the rapid deterioration of the patient's general condition.
