Re: Mrs. Albina Larice
Films # 7936
Dear Dr. Humphries:
X-rays were taken of the lumbar
spine and pelvis with the portable x-ray unit in the
patient's home. The films include the upper third
of both femurs.
All bone structures show a pronounc-
ed calcium deficiency. The left hip joint is
completely destroyod. The destruction also invrlves
the head and neck of the left femur. There is an
irregular area of calcification which protudes in a
medial directionfrom the hip joint. It is evidently
an extension of the destrctive mass that involves
the hip joint.
Similar, but smaller, areas of
destruction are seen involving the entire iliac bone.
The right hip shows a similar area
of destruction which, however, is not as extensive as
the area in the left hip joint. It has involved the
head and neck of the femur as well as the acetabulum
of the hip joint.
Diagnosis:
Malignant destruction of both hip
joints, probably osteogenic sarcoma, No definite
evidonce of malignant involvement of the lumbar spine.
Very truly yours,
Ernst A. May, M. D.
