“…2 A case of a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma of the colon metastasising to the olecranon was reported previously. 1 This current case report is the first to describe an olecranon tumour that had metastasized from a primary lung tumour. The patient had experienced 3 weeks of pain in the elbow joint without any preceding injury.…”

“…1 Primary bone tumours around the elbow represent < 1% of all skeletal tumours. 1 Distal bony involvement to the appendicular skeleton occurs less frequently and the incidence of olecranon metastasis is extremely rare in all cancers; so far no more than 10 cases have been reported in literature. 2 This case report describes an olecranon metastasis in a patient with lung carcinoma.…”

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 tissue mass. Histological investigation showed the cancer was a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient received local radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy, but he died of his primary disease 3 months later.
