Neuroendocrine Tumor Orthopedic Sequela: Literature Review and Case Presentation
Journal Title: International Journal of Bone and Rheumatology Research (IJBRR) - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This report presents a very aggressive and unusual case of a rare musculoskeletal neoplastic process, which ultimately resulted in the death of a patient. It is of utmost importance to present this case, in order to display the abnormal nature of this disease process, improve future treatment, and reduce morbidity and mortality. The abnormal pathological variant presented in this case and the lack of literature on the malignancy, highlights the lack of studies into the orthopedic sequela of these tumors. Further research regarding this entity, will decrease the complications, including; pathological fractures, subsequent debility and death.
