Abstract
As a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of 46 thoracic,
abdominal and thoraco-abdomino-pelvic scans, this study focused on all bone
lesions in cancer patients. The aim was to describe the epidemiological,
clinical and radiological aspects of bone lesions in cancer patients in order
to facilitate their diagnostic orientation. Metastatic bone lesions
predominated, and the most common cancers were breast, prostate and lung
cancer. These secondary bone lesions were mostly lytic, multiple and mainly
affected the axial skeleton. Other bone lesions such as osteoarthritis, bone
demineralisation and benign bone tumours were also noted. It should be
remembered that other bone lesions may or may not occur in connection with the
cancer and/or its treatment. This warrants the realization of imaging tests to
detect and monitor different bone lesions, to better treat them.
