Abstract
We report on a case of isolated lesser trochanter fracture, without associated trauma, secondary to pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastasis. Treatment consisted in resection-reconstruction by megaprosthesis. This form of isolated fracture is rare, and results from infiltration of the trochanteric area by a malignant tumoral process, which is usually metastatic.Entities:
