Clinical case information
Case presentation
The patient is 59, and she has a 40 pack years smoking history. Seven years ago, she had a painful kidney removed, and a tumor was found in the kidney.
On examination, the left upper extremity is in a sling. The patient cannot really move the arm outside of the sling. No mass is felt around the shoulder at all, and there is no swelling of the affected bone.
Radiological findings:
Plain radiographs show an aggressive destructive mass occupying the proximal humerus with pathological fracture. There is a somewhat permeated appearance of the shaft of the humerus below the lesion.
Differential Diagnosis
The patient has a bone lesion in the left proximal humerus which will require biopsy and stabilization of pathological fracture. Possibilities include renal cell carcinoma, lung carcinoma, myeloma or lymphoma, and other.
