초록

A 50-year-old female patient referred by the department of breast and thyroid surgery was recommended for orthopedic surgery because lesion like herniation pit was found in the left proximal femur in bone mineral densitometry (BMD). She was later diagnosed with bone metastasis on biopsy in orthopedic surgery. Pelvic X-ray and Lt thigh MRI were performed . Intra-medually nail was operated later. The BMD is a diagnostic method that determines the results by numerical values, so it is inevitable to neglect to observe the bone shape, but as shown in the above case, the examiner's observation of changes in bone shape can return to beneficial treatment for patients.
