| Popis: | We present a 73-year-old woman who presented with a pathological fracture of her right humerus. Further imaging and biopsy indicated a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung as the primary neoplasm. This represents the first published case of a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung presenting as a metastatic lesion of the humerus. Operative management of pathological fractures of the humerus has typically included either intramedullary nailing or the use of single-plating or double-plating techniques. The authors describe a novel technique using both intramedullary fixation augmented with a locking plate, steel cables and bone cement, with good outcome. |
