[Bone metastases of bronchial carcinomas. 3 cases of subperiosteal cortical osteolysis].
The morphologic appearance of osseous metastasis may rarely suggest a specific site of origin. A subperiosteal location has recently been reported to be typical for metastatic lung carcinoma. We report three cases of such metastasis which destroyed the cortex so that it appears saucer shaped. The primary tumor was a bronchogenic carcinoma in every case. We conclude that in the cancer-age group cortical metastasis is a highly characteristic feature of lung carcinoma.
