[Bone metastases of colonic and rectal neoplasms. Apropos of 11 cases].

The authors report 11 personal cases and discuss the characteristics of bony metastases in carcinoma of the colon and rectum. The frequency of these metastases is fairly low (1.3% of all cases of bony metastases) as tumours of the large intestine do not tend to migrate to the bones.
