Bone Metastasis
Metastatic Neoplasm to the Bone Marrow
Presentation
- Moreover, the patients who have bone metastasis at presentation are even rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
Fatigue
- A 30-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of abdominal distension, fatigue, and anorexia for 2 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Cancer Related Fatigue When it comes to cancer-related fatigue, this affects up to 80% to 90% of persons with cancer. It is more severe than what we refer to as general fatigue when people sort of say, “I’m tired,” but it’s not the same.[melioguide.com]
- Signs of hypercalcemia include fatigue, rash, weakness and weight loss. How Are Metastatic Bone Lesions Found? They may be discovered as a result of an investigation into a new onset of pain, paralysis or other symptoms.[cancerliving.today]
- Patients during/after RT often suffer from the RT‐related toxicities including radiation sickness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, mucous membrane disorder, etc.[intechopen.com]
- Bone pain that is worse at night Discomfort when you walk or sit, or trouble finding a comfortable position Fatigue or weakness Bone fractures Numb area, trouble moving a body part, or trouble urinating Weight loss without trying, or loss of appetite[drugs.com]
Localized Pain

- Radiation therapy can help to relieve localized pain due to bone metastasis. It is delivered via various means.[cancerliving.today]
- Local pain usually precedes radicular pain and may predate the appearance of other neurologic signs by weeks or months. Most patients with spinal cord compression will have weakness or paralysis.[doi.org]
Plethora

Nausea

- High blood levels of calcium can lead to other problems such as loss of appetite, excessive thirst, nausea and constipation. As the cancer dissolves the bone, it breaks easily.[novartis.com]
Abdominal Pain
- Case 2: Clinical history A 48 year-old white woman presented with a four-week history of left lower quadrant abdominal pain.[bmcclinpathol.biomedcentral.com]
- High calcium can cause constipation, which can result in abdominal pain, and with very high calcium levels, confusion and mental status changes can occur.[oncolink.org]
- Metastatic disease to the liver causes jaundice, elevated liver enzymes, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Metastatic breast cancer to the lung or pleura causes chronic cough, dyspnea, abnormal chest x-ray, and chest pain.[breast-cancer.ca]
Skin
Hemorrhagic Bullae
- Left ear showed large hemorrhagic bullae on the posterior segment of tympanic membrane. Left sided facial paralysis developed on the third day of admission. Full recovery of facial paralysis is achieved by 10 days course of corticotherapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
Diplopia
- She was then followed in the surgery clinic, and 2 months after surgery, she visited an emergency room complaining of headache and diplopia. Neurological examination showed the left IV, V1, and VI cranial nerve palsies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
Back Pain
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and zoledronic acid were administered for back pain. Oxycodone was also administered but discontinued due to nausea.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Low Back Pain
- The patient developed low back pain due to unknown etiology, 3 months after surgery. A follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT scan demonstrated multifocal bone destruction. Unfortunately, the patient died 12 months after surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sternoclavicular Joint Pain
- A 73-year-old man complained of sternoclavicular joint pain; blood tests revealed elevated C-reactive protein. The patient developed delirium; magnetic resonance imaging showed metastatic bone tumors. He died two weeks after admission.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Face, Head & Neck
Neck Mass
- The authors report a unique case of occult prostate cancer that presented with an anterior midline neck mass diagnosed as a thyroglossal duct cyst.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Insomnia
- The EORTC QLQ-C30 scale at 1 month demonstrated significant improvement (P 0.05) in the physical (P 0.03) and emotion function (P 0.003), global health status (P 0.002), pain (P 0.001) and insomnia (P 0.002).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
- Endometrial biopsy should be included in the patient's workup when investigating for metastatic bone adenocarcinoma of unknown origin, even when gynaecological symptoms are lacking, as this rare presentation of stage IVb endometrial cancer appears to[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In selected patients with metastatic disease of the spine, the following diagnostic procedures may be performed: Percutaneous core needle biopsy Open biopsy See Workup for more detail.[emedicine.medscape.com]
- Pretreatment Workup Before bone radiofrequency ablation, all patients underwent a routine physical examination, laboratory tests, and diagnostic imaging studies.[doi.org]

Biopsy
Bone Marrow with Tumor Cells
- For histologic tissue sections, bone is stained green, whereas bone marrow and tumor cells (asterisk) are stained red. (E) Fluorescence analyses of B02-GFP/βGal tumor cells residing in bone. Arrows indicate fluorescent tumor cells.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hypercellular Bone Marrow
- The pathological findings of resected rib bones exhibited hypercellular bone marrow without excess of blasts.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- After initiating cancer treatment for bone metastasis, it is not uncommon to observe transient asynchronous accumulation in bone scintigraphy or transient increases in ALP in patients who ultimately respond to the treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The goals of the treatment for bone metastases include pain control, prevention and treatment of fractures, maintenance of patient function, and local tumor control.[en.wikipedia.org]
