Sarcoma associated with bone infarction. A report of 2 cases
Abstract
Two cases of an unusual association between bone infarction and sarcomatous change are reported. The exact incidence of sarcomatous change in bone infarction is unknown. It seems that the risk is greatest in large medullary infarcts of bones. Also, once sarcoma has developed the prognosis is poor. Patients should therefore be advised to report any pain or swelling in an area of known medullary infarction.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
