Although bone tumors are often located in the knee area, primary tumors of the patella are rare (6, 8), and patellar metastases even rarer. A few cases were reported in the literature, originating from the breast, lung, kidney, uterine cervix and oesophagus. We report a case, for the first time to our knowledge, of a patellar metastasis from a large bowel carcinoma.
尽管骨肿瘤常位于膝部区域,但髌骨原发性肿瘤却很罕见(6, 8),而髌骨转移瘤更是罕见。文献中报道了少数病例,其原发部位为乳腺、肺、肾、子宫颈和食管。据我们所知,我们首次报告了一例来自大肠癌的髌骨转移瘤病例。
