Solitary Sternal Metastases in a Patient with Nasopharyngeal Cancer Treated With Sternal Resection, Reconstruction with Polypropilen Mesh and Methylmetacrylate Mesh and Adjuvant Radiation Therapy

Abstract

For nasopharyngeal cancers, sternal metastases are infrequently encountered. Advances in surgical techniques help sternal resection and reconstruction to be considered as a treatment option for sternal metastases. In this report, treatment of a patient with nasopharyngeal cancer and a solitary sternal metastases with sternal resection, reconstruction using polypropylene mesh and methylmethacrylate patch and adjuvant radiation therapy has been presented. Key words: Nasopharyngeal cancer, Sternum, Metastases, Resection, Reconstruction, Radiation Therapy

Soliter Sternum Metastazı Saptanan Nazofarenks Kanserli Bir Hastada Sternum Rezeksiyonu, Polipropilen Ağ ve Metilmetakrilat Yama Kullanılarak Rekonstrüksiyon ve Adjuvant Radyoterapi Uygulaması+

Abstract

Nazofarenks kanserlerinin sternum metastazları oldukça nadir olarak görülmektedir. Cerrahi tekniklerde sağlanan gelişmeler, sternum rezeksiyonu ve rekonstrüksiyonunun sternum metastazlarında bir tedavi seçeneği olarak gündeme gelmesine yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu yazıda, soliter sternum metastazı saptanan nazofarenks kanserli bir hastada sternum rezeksiyonu, polipropilen ağ ve metilmetakrilat yama kullanılarak rekonstrüksiyon ve adjuvant radyoterapi uygulaması sunulmaktadır. Anahtar kelimeler: Nazofarenks kanseri, Sternum, Metastaz, Rezeksiyon, Rekonstrüksiyon, Radyoterapi
