Nontraumatic osteonecrosis is a well-documented late complication of chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies, with prolonged corticosteroid exposure implicated. Reports of this treatment complication in patients treated with chemotherapy for solid tumors are sparse. We reviewed our institutional experience and the published medical literature to explore an association between chemotherapy for testicular cancer and the occurrence of nontraumatic osteonecrosis. Two databases of men with testicular cancer were reviewed. Search of the medical literature included MEDLINE, CANCERLIT, and EMBASE, Two of 107 men with testicular cancer treated with chemotherapy at our center were identified with nontraumatic osteonecrosis. Literature review identified 14 reports describing patients with 39 solid tumors with osteonecrosis after chemotherapy. Of 38 adults, 28 had testicular cancer and 6 had breast cancer. All patients with testicular cancer had received cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin, or bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin. Twenty-seven of 28 had received corticosteroids. Diagnosis was subacute in three and delayed a mean of 26 months (range, 12-47 months) in 26, The femoral head was involved in 26 patients, with bilateral involvement in 18. Crude incidence was 1.5% (95% Cl, 0.9-2.1). Nontraumatic osteonecrosis is an infrequent but disabling late complication of cancer chemotherapy reported most commonly in adult patients with testicular cancer. Corticosteroid exposure makes this association plausible.
