ABSTRACT

We present here the case of a 72-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma in the left upper lobe and bone metastasis in the left ninth rib. Chemotherapy was stopped because of drug resistance, and only palliative treatment was continued. Simultaneously, denosumab was replaced with zoledronic acid. The primary tumor and the bone lesion shrank significantly; the diameter of the primary lesion decreased from 81 mm to 41 mm, and the patient felt no more pain. Zoledronic acid has now been administered for 21 months. The rare course observed in this case results from the potent antitumor effect of zoledronic acid.
