In the literature, there is only one study about hyoid bone metastases from sigmoid adenocarcinoma. (2) Methods: We report a case of hyoid bone metastases in a 78-year-old patient treated for rectum and sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. (3) Results: A mass excision surgery of a rounded osteolytic mass of 4.5 \u00d7 3.6 cm in size in the central part of the hyoid bone was performed under general anesthesia, according to the multidisciplinary tumor board recommendation. (4) Conclusions: Hyoid bone metastases can occur in the rectum and sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. A total body bone scintigraphy and CT examination are suggested to detect silent bone metastases in patients with a history of cancer and neck masses. The prognosis is good, but a regular follow-up is recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/reports6040059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,8]],"date-time":"2023-12-08T03:03:33Z","timestamp":1702004613000},"page":"59","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Hyoid Bone Metastases: An Unusual Case"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Gian Piero","family":"Di Marco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, San Salvatore Hospital, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cinzia","family":"Tucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, San Salvatore Hospital, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enzo","family":"Iacomino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, San Salvatore Hospital, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincenzo","family":"Corridore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, San Salvatore Hospital, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Lauriello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences, University of L\u2019Aquila, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Fioretti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Unit, European Hospital, 00149 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8845-0505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Eibenstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences, University of L\u2019Aquila, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"515","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199205000-00008","article-title":"Hyoid bone involvement by squamous cell carcinoma: Clinical and pathological features","volume":"102","author":"Timon","year":"1992","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"1915","article-title":"A case of hyoid bone metastasis from breast cancer","volume":"41","author":"Kusama","year":"2014","journal-title":"Gan Kagaku Ryoho"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"913","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2010.01.002","article-title":"Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the hyoid bone","volume":"142","author":"Lee","year":"2010","journal-title":"Otolaryngol.
