가스괴저를 동반한 흉골 골수염과 유사한 염증성 전이암

초록

Inflammatory metastasis is a metastatic tumor associated with fever, skin changes, soft tissue inflammation, and laboratory abnormalities, suggesting an inflammation that obscures the underlying malignancy. We report a 69-year-old male with inflammatory metastatic carcinoma of sternum. He presented with clinical findings mimicking osteomyelitis of the sternum. The chest CT scan showed the parasternal soft tissue masses and cortical disruption of sternum which was continuous with air bubbles spreading through the pectoralis muscles. He was diagnosed as poorly-differentiated carcinoma with unknown origin.
