| Abstract (English): | The "ivory vertebra" sign as described on conventional radiography refers to an increase in opacity of a vertebral body, wich retains its size contours, with preserved adjacent intervertebral discs. Here we present a 69-year-old male patient who had history of nonsmall cell lung neoplasm, admitted for routine screening. In radiographic studies, the sign was identified, and multifocal involvement was subsequently verified, thus supporting the diagnosis of bone metastases. Differential diagnoses include Paget's disease, lymphoma, osteomyelitis, as well as metastases from the breast, prostate, among others. The identification of this sign constitutes a diagnostic challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | El signo de la «vértebra en marfil» se define radiológicamente como un aumento en la densidad ósea, homogénea, que compromete únicamente el cuerpo vertebral conservando su tamaño, forma, respetando el espacio intervertebral. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 69 años, con neoplasia de pulmón de células no pequeñas que acude por chequeo. En estudios radiográficos se identifica este signo, comprobándose posteriormente afectación multifocal, por lo que se sustentó el diagnóstico de metástasis óseas. Los diagnósticos diferenciales incluyen enfermedad de Paget, linfoma, osteomielitis, así como metástasis de mama y próstata, entre otras. La identificación de este signo constituye un reto diagnóstico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
