Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor with dismal prognoses and poor response to treatments. The most frequent symptoms are due to local invasion. Distant metastases are not uncommon and usually appear at late stage of the disease. However, metastases in bone have rarely been well documented. Here we report the case of a MPM patient with nerve root compression due to bone metastases 18 months after the first diagnoses of MPM.
恶性胸膜间皮瘤(MPM)是一种侵袭性肿瘤,预后不良,对治疗反应不佳。最常见的症状是由于局部侵犯。远处转移并不少见,通常出现在疾病的晚期。然而,骨转移的病例很少有详细记录。在这里,我们报告了一例 MPM 患者,在首次诊断为 MPM 18 个月后,因骨转移导致神经根受压。
