Rectal carcinoma revealed by isolated mixed bone metastases

Abstract

Abstract Isolated bone metastases secondary to rectal neoplasia are scarce. Radiographic findings may include lytic, sclerotic, or mixed lesions. We presented a case of rectal carcinoma revealed by isolated osseous metastases. We emphasize the radiological features of mixed bone metastases with the differential diagnoses that may be raised.
