Minimally displaced fracture of the mid-left clavicle.
Underlying permeative lesion in the mid-clavicle.
Case Discussion
With fractures in the elderly always ensure there is no underlying pathological bone lesion. In this case the moth-eaten appearance is due to a bony metastasis.
CT imaging and subsequent biopsy revealed this to be a metastasis from a lung malignancy.
