Abstract :Purpose:The aim of this stduy is to examine the distribution properties of pelvic bone metastases according to primary cancers and to reveal the properties of additional bone metastases that may accompany pelvic bone metastasis. Patients and Methods:151 patients with pelvic bone metastases and without visceral metastases were included in the study. Clinical data, pathological diagnostic reports and PET-CT results of 151 patients were evaluated. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, number of pelvic bone metastases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(single focus, multiple focus); and localization of pelvic bone metastasisinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(sacroiliac joint, sacrum, ilium, ischium, pubis, acetabulum);. Results:Multiple pelvic metastasis frequency was significantly higher in the females insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(80.00%); than in the males insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(61.46%); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.030);. The most common location of the metastasis was ilium for both genders. The most common location of the metastasis was ilium for the breast insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(61.76%);, prostate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.44%); and gynecologic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(66.67%); cancers. The most common locations of respiratory system cancers metastasis were sacrum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(54.29%); and ilium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(54.29%);. Acetabulum was the most common metastasis location for gastrointestinal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(72.73%); and urinary insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(58.33%); tract cancers. Conclusion:As the result of this study the ilium is the the most common metastatic bone region of the pelvis. Primary cancers often tend to cause multiple metastases to the pelvic bone. Evaluating the metastases of the pelvic ring with larger number of cases may provide clues in finding the tumors of unknown primary.
