Abstract
A 55-year-old female patient, referred by the endocrine metabolism department, was recommended for orthopedic surgery because a lesion was found in the proximal femur in the bone mineral densitometry (BMD). Pelvis AP and frog-leg images performed by the orthopedic department found an intraosseous mass (more likely a benign tumor) in the greater trochanter of the left femur. However, she did not need special treatment and decided to keep observing. The role of a radiologic technologist is important in BMD and it provides significant assistance in the treatment of patients.
