Solitary bony metastasis as the first sign of malignant gastric tumor or of its recurrence.
Symptomatic solitary bony metastasis as the First sign of asymptomatic gastric carcinoma is very infrequent. Only 8 cases reported by 7 authors have been found in the literature. Furthermore, solitary bony metastasis as the sole sign of recurrence after hopefully curative resections are so rare that none has been previously reported in the literature. Three additional instances of solitary and histologically proven osseous metastasis of malignant gastric neoplasms have been observed and treated at Memorial Hospital during the years 1949 through 1969, and are herewith reported.
