Ultrasonography of a bone metastasis.
The authors report a case of cortical bone metastasis presenting as a soft-tissue mass in the thigh. Because of the initial clinical presentation, ultrasonography was performed first; plain radiography and a percutaneous biopsy provided additional diagnostic information. The authors describe the ultrasonographic findings and the role of this imaging technique in the final diagnosis of such lesions.
