We reported on 65 years old patient who has colon cancer and referred to our palliative care center with pain due to enlarging metastatic mass on the dorsal of the right hand. She had swelling and numbness on her jaw. Computed tomography (CT) scan was performed for mandible imaging and two pathologic fractures were detected on the right corpus and right condyle of the mandible. Clinicians should consider possible metastases for terminal stage cancer patients.
我们报告了一位 65 岁的患者,她患有结肠癌,因右手背部转移性肿块增大导致疼痛而被转介至我们的姑息治疗中心。她的下巴出现肿胀和麻木。为了对下颌骨进行成像,我们进行了计算机断层扫描(CT),发现右侧体部和右侧髁突有两处病理性骨折。临床医生应考虑终末期癌症患者可能发生的转移。
