What Causes Moth Holes On The Bones Of An Elderly Woman?

Yesterday my 81 yo mother passed out without any warnings. she came to quickly. She has never experienced this so we brought her to the ER. Neuro check was fine and they said she had a UTI. Ct Scan done because she had hit her head on side of table. ER doctor said brain was fine but she has 2 moth holes n the bone itself. he started talking about cancer metastisis and wanted to do a pet scan today. Could you tell me more about possible causes of this bone loss

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, moth holes in the bone at the age of 81 years can be part of metabolic immune process, metastasis from another body organ or else.

* I would like to evaluate the consistency and other characteristic changes in the scan for narrated 2 lesions.

Kindly provide me scanned copies of the report for further evaluation and guidelines in accordance with that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
