Abstract
A 65-year-old female patient has a history of malignant triton tumour of the right upper lobe of the lung. She underwent right upper lobectomy and lymphadenectomy in May 2018. She presented in November 2019 with pathological fracture of the left proximal femur. It was not associated with neurofibromatosis. We decided to do an excisional biopsy of the mass and proximal femoral replacement followed by radiotherapy. Four months later, she presented with local recurrence. We organised a multidisciplinary team between the orthopaedic, histopathology and oncology teams. Then, we decided to treat her with chemotherapy. After 2 months of follow-up, she responded well to the chemotherapy with no further deterioration of her condition.Keywords
