Humerus pathological fracture revealing biliary carcinoma.
Tumors of the biliary tract are rare, and their survival prognosis is short since diagnosis is often made at advanced stages of the disease. Diagnosis remains difficult because symptoms are often unspecific. Bone metastasis from biliary carcinoma are rare. We report a case of a humeral metastasis revealing a biliary carcinoma.
