Resumen
CARDENAS CENTENO, ORLANDO DE et al. Osteoarticular reference in urological affections: Report of two cases. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1997, vol.11, n.1-2, pp. 103-105. ISSN 1561-3100.
Two cases with neoplasia of the urinary system with bone metastasis are presented. It is exposed the case of a patient with sternal tumor, whose exeresis showed metastasis of a transitional-cell carcinoma of the pelvis. Left total nephrectomy and partial cysctectomy had to be performed as a result of this finding. The other patient presented a pathological fracture of the left hip due to metastasis caused by a hypernephroma that did not produce urinary symptoms but only a palpable mass in the right flank of lumbar contact. Reduction and osteosynthesis of the hip fracture with nail-plate AO and cement are made followed by right total nephrectomy. The patients were operated on at the "Frank País" National Orthopedic Teaching Hospital and referred later to the Urology Department of the "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" Military Central Hospital.
