CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF TIBIAL BONE METASTASIS: A RARE CASE REPORT

Abstract

Bone is one of the commonest sites of metastasis due to advanced malignancy of breast, lung, prostate and rectal . Axial bones like vertebrae, skull, and ribs are most commonly involved in metastasis, while appendicular bones like bones of upper limbs and lower limbs are less often involved in metastasis due to these malignancies. Below knee metastasis are infrequently observed in literature and clinical setting. Herein, we report a case of a female diagnosed with adenocarcinoma lung and presented with a hard, painful swelling in her left leg at tibial region. She was planned for palliative radiotherapy and was assessed for pain relief.
