Left Femur Neck Fracture and Left Eye Esotropia as Initial Clinical Presentations of Gastric Cancer in a 54-Year-Old Female Patient: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Although the incidence of gastric cancer has decreased worldwide, it is still among the most common cancers worldwide. Usual manifestations of gastric cancer include gastrointestinal-related symptoms such as weight loss and abdominal pain. Isolated symptomatic bony metastasis at initial presentation...

description | Although the incidence of gastric cancer has decreased worldwide, it is still among the most common cancers worldwide. Usual manifestations of gastric cancer include gastrointestinal-related symptoms such as weight loss and abdominal pain. Isolated symptomatic bony metastasis at initial presentation is very rare. Here, we present an infrequent case of a middle-aged lady who presented with a left femur neck fracture and left eye esotropia as the initial presenting clinical manifestations of gastric cancer. She was found to have an isolated bone metastasis seen throughout the body skeleton with no extraosseous metastasis. The patient was treated conservatively and received external beam radiation therapy as part of palliative therapy. This report signifies the importance of considering the diagnosis of gastric cancer in middle-aged patients with isolated symptomatic bone metastasis. It also reviews the overall poor prognosis of such cases and recommends further studies on the role of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in such cases. |
