Mega Total Hip Replacement After Resection of Metastasis from Renal Adenocarcinoma

Abstract

A 53-year-old man presented with femoral metastasis from a renal carcinoma. Four months after bone curettage and fixation and nephrectomy, a large recurrence of the metastasis was resected en bloc with the proximal femur and a megaprosthesis inserted. Six years later he is well and physically active.

Key words:

• renal adenocarcinoma
• femoral metastasis
