Abstract
SUAREZ ALVAREZ, L. et al. Cranial hyperostosis as a metastasic adenocarcinoma presentation form. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2004, vol.21, n.11, pp.42-44. ISSN 0212-7199.
Hyperostosis is a volume-unit osseous increase of very diverse etiology. We present the case of a 68-year woman with a cranial hyperostosis debuting with frontal protrusion, headache and neurologic symptoms. Image proves demonstrated a hiperostosys in the calotte and meningeal inhancement, without intracerebral lesions nor malignant cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. Analytic data were unspecific. Cranial biopsy showed huge neoplastic infiltration in bone and meninges. Primary site remained unknown after a CAT and a mammography.
Keywords : Hyperostosis; Neoplasm metastasis; Adenocarcinoma.
