Abstract
The radiologist may be the first to suggest the diagnosis of leukemia on the basis of erosion of the medial cortex of the proximal metaphysis of the humerus. The upper ends of the humeri are almost always included on patients'' chest radiographs, and frequently this erosion may be the only radiographic sign of the disease.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
