Olecranon metastases from primary lung cancer: case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Tumours in the olecranon are rare. A 62-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of pain in his right elbow that was relieved using routine painkillers. Persistent pain resulted in a reduction of the range of motion in the elbow and pain in the extensor and flexor groups of muscles of the forearm, which resulted in the patient seeking medical assistance. Radiography showed a round, radiolucent focus in the depth of the distal ulna. Computed tomography imaging of the thorax demonstrated one solid soft tissu… Show more

“…There are very few studies in the literature evaluating the distribution characteristics of upper extremity metastases [5,11]. Upper extremity metastases were evaluated with case reports or comparative studies [12][13][14][15][16]. In the study of Wisanuyotin et al [5], 102 patients with upper extremity metastases were examined.…”

“…Another case report presented a patient who survived for more than eight years from diagnosis after a metastasectomy [ 11 ]. This approach may seem to have been a solution in these cases, but it should be performed only when the primary tumor can be controlled and R0 resection is possible [ 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Surgical treatment is needed when the MBD results in impending or pathological fractures[ 3 , 11 ]. However, surgery does not have a cancer-reducing effect nor improve survival[ 15 , 16 ]. Instead, it is the treatment of choice when it comes to stabilizing the bone structure and reducing pain[ 15 ].…”
