Wang, Tingting Wu, Xiangru Cui, Yanfen Chu, Caiting Ren, Gang Li, Wenhuaīenign and malignant bone tumors can present similar imaging features. Role of apparent diffusion coefficients with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in differentiating between benign and malignant bone tumors. BML is a potential cause of aggressive, although histologically benign, bone tumor in women with a history of uterine surgery. Despite an aromatase-inhibitor treatment, new lungs lesions appeared in the next few months. Three years later, a BML metastasis in the right femoral diaphysis was unexpectedly discovered and treated by osteosynthesis because of a high risk of fracture. Pathological examination allowed the diagnosis of BML with positive staining for estrogen and progesterone receptors. A 78-year-old woman who had undergone uterine surgery six years before hospital admission, was diagnosed with large pulmonary and pleural metastases that necessitated surgical removal. We report the case of a patient with bone metastases of BML. Īlexandre, L Taillieu, F Arlet, J-B Passeron, A Michon, A Bats, A-S Pouchot, J Ranque, Bīenign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign "metastatic" smooth muscle tumors, which can affect women with history of uterine surgery. Possible causes include: Genetic defects. They often occur in areas of the bone that grow rapidly. Tumor - bone Bone cancer Primary bone tumor Secondary bone tumor Bone tumor - benign. Most benign bone tumors are diagnosed incidentally and do not necessitate any treatment.
The treatment of benign bone tumors depends on the histological type and the biological activity. In contrast to malignant tumors the radicalism of resection can be weighed against the accompanying local control and loss of function. Therapy options range from ignore, wait and see up to wide resection. The most important diagnostic feature is still conventional radiography and a thorough systematic analysis is necessary. Some benign bone tumors are just as aggressive locally as malignant tumors.
Benign bone tumors differ in their biological behavior and can be latent, active or aggressive which determines the treatment approach. Benign bone tumors are frequently found incidentally however, the term benign does not always signify that a purely observational role is needed. In this article in-house treatment principles are compared with those in the currently available literature. This article gives a presentation of the characteristics and treatment modalities of benign bone tumors. īenign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions are much more frequent than malignant bone tumors among the total number of tumors of the skeleton.
