[Endoprosthetic treatment of a solitary femoral metastasis in follicular carcinoma of the thyroid (author's transl)].

: A radical surgical resection of a metastasis in the upper part of the femur is paradigmatically discussed. The implantation of a so-called tumour endoprothesis yields a functionally sufficient long-time substitute without local relapsing of tumour during time of observation. Further short-term investigation for tumour spreading is necessary.
