CASE 23: Breast cancer sacral metastasis
- Hits: 253
- 41-year-old female patient
- Undergoing treatment for breast cancer
- A patient with a history of radiotherapy for bone metastases presented to us with complaints of recurrent lower back pain radiating to the leg, along with numbness.
- Due to bone damage and nerve root compression caused by sacral breast cancer metastasis recurrence, nerve root release (laminectomy) and filling the resulting cavity with bone cement after tumor removal were successfully performed.
- The patient, whose symptoms decreased, was discharged without any problems.
Before the surgery: MRI shows tumor recurrence, surrounding edema, nerve root compression, and CT scan reveals bone damage.
Post-Surgery: The X-ray shows that after the tumor was removed, the resulting cavity was filled with bone cement.
