Abstract
|
|
|
A case of primary reticulum cell sarcoma of bone arising from upper one third of the left humerus which was found to be conspicuously sensitive to roentgen irradiation is presented.
The patient was a eighteen years old high school boy, visited out-patient department with a tumor of the left arm, diagnosed as a malignant tumor, amputation of the limb was recommended.
The patient refused the operative intervention and returned home against advice after recieving only a single dose of roentgen irradiation, e.g. 300r.
Around one year later, patient visited again to clinic with a child head sized tumor on the left neck while the tumor on the left arm has apparently disappeared.
Roentgenogram revealed almost complete regression of the bony lesion on the upper humerus.
Total amount of 3300r was administered to the neck tumor during period of fifteen days, the tumor regressed to the hen´s egg sized fibrotic mass while the last few dose were beeing given.
Eventual prognosis of this tumor is uncertain whether it may recur or not in the future.
