Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: It is not uncommon for a patient with a brown tumor to be misdiagnosed as a primary bone tumor, while the contrary is not true. The association of bone sarcomas with hyperparathyroidism is quite rare, and here, we report one such case where Ewing’s sarcoma was misdiagnosed as a brown tumor. Care description: A 17-year-old lady was treated elsewhere for a pathological fracture of the left femur with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with intramedullary (IM) nailing. On evaluation, the patient was found to have hyperparathyroidism secondary to parathyroid adenoma. Following 1 month of parathyroid gland excision (histologically proven to be adenoma), patient developed increased swelling at the ORIF site which on further evaluation was found to be Ewing’s sarcoma. Despite the aggressive local and systemic therapy, patient progressed to develop distant metastasis. Conclusion: Ewing’s sarcoma can mimic brown tumors, and a high degree of suspicion is required to make a proper diagnosis. These patients are better treated at high-volume centers to avoid misdiagnosis and mismanagement.
