Adamantinoma of the proximal femur: a case report.

Adamantinoma is a rare low-grade malignant bone tumor with an indolent course. The tibia is involved in 85%-90% of long-bone cases. We encountered a patient with primary adamantinoma of the proximal femur.

Prediction of myocutaneous adverse side effect due to intra-arterial chemotherapy by intra-arterial (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin administration in patients with bone and soft-tissue tumors.

Unlabelled: In malignant bone and soft-tissue tumors, intra-arterial chemotherapy and limb-saving surgery have become popular. Myocutaneous inflammatory change and necrosis are the major local side effects of intra-arterial chemotherapy. (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin (MAA) imaging with intra-arterial tracer administration was performed to evaluate drug distribution, and the ability of (99m)Tc-MAA imaging to predict local side effects was assessed.
