Date of first visit: 27.07.2005
Chief complaints: Pain in and swelling in the right side of the shoulder since last 1½ months
Past history if any: Nil
Initial observations:
M.R.I. of shoulder done on 06.07.2005 “ A large expansile osteolytic mass is seen in metaphysis and part of greater tuberosity of right humerus. There is extension to the paraosteal soft tissues.
Bone scan done on 26.07.2005 – Increase uptake at right shoulder is compatible with increase osteogenic activity in the region. Rest of the skeletal tissue image morphology is within normal limits.
C.T. guided F.N.A. of the lytic lesion in the humerus done on 28.06.2005 – The overall cytomorphological features are of malignant tumour of messenchymal origin.
The possibility of soft tissue sarcoma like synovial sarcoma with secondary involvement of the bone has been favoured.
Review report of the above slide on 04.07.2005 by Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute – “Impression :- The features are of malignant mesenchymal tumour – Pleomorphic sarcoma possibility of primary bone tumour is to be considered.”
