(1) Background: Secondary tumors of the hyoid bone are extremely rare in clinics. In the literature, there is only one study about hyoid bone metastases from sigmoid adenocarcinoma. (2) Methods: We report a case of hyoid bone metastases in a 78-year-old patient treated for rectum and sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. (3) Results: A mass excision surgery of a rounded osteolytic mass of 4.5 × 3.6 cm in size in the central part of the hyoid bone was performed under general anesthesia, according to the multidisciplinary tumor board recommendation. (4) Conclusions: Hyoid bone metastases can occur in the rectum and sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. A total body bone scintigraphy and CT examination are suggested to detect silent bone metastases in patients with a history of cancer and neck masses. The prognosis is good, but a regular follow-up is recommended.
(1) 背景：舌骨继发性肿瘤在临床上极为罕见。在文献中，仅有一项关于乙状结肠腺癌舌骨转移的研究。(2) 方法：我们报告一例78岁直肠和乙状结肠腺癌患者发生舌骨转移的病例。(3) 结果：根据多学科肿瘤委员会的建议，在全身麻醉下对舌骨中部一个大小为4.5×3.6 cm的圆形溶骨性肿块进行了肿块切除术。(4) 结论：直肠和乙状结肠腺癌可发生舌骨转移。建议对有癌症病史和颈部肿块的患者进行全身骨闪烁扫描和CT检查，以检测隐匿性骨转移。预后良好，但建议定期随访。
