Case report 864. Elliptical, multicentric periosteal osteoid osteoma.

An extremely rare case of multicentric periosteal osteoid osteoma in a child was presented. The lesions were found to be embedded in a narrow elliptical strip, suggesting the possibility that lesional tissue was stretched in a longitudinal fashion as a result of the rapid skeletal growth. In young patients with stretched periosteal reaction who complain of pain, multicentric osteoid osteoma should be suspected. These nidi can be obscured by the exuberant periosteal reaction. Accurate evaluation of the radiographic findings is very important.

MRI of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of soft tissue: analysis of 13 cases with pathologic correlation.

We reviewed the magnetic resonance (MR) appearances of 13 malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFH) of soft tissue and correlated each with the respective lesion's histopathology. The MR images were evaluated for signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted spin echo sequences, homogeneity of the lesion, presence of internal low signal septations, and margin definition. Histologic subtypes of MFH included storiform-pleomorphic, giant cell, myxoid, and inflammatory. We could not establish a correlation between MR appearance and histopathology. Instead, our series exhibited general features suggestive of malignant soft tissue neoplasms, namely poor margin definition, internal low signal septation, and heterogeneous high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.

Acute postpartum inflammatory sacroiliitis. A report of four cases.

We report four patients with unilateral postpartum sacroiliitis presenting with agonising unilateral pain, an elevated ESR, elevated alkaline phosphatase levels, leucocytosis and positive bone scans. The diagnosis of a non-infectious inflammatory cause was supported by the postpartum onset, the response to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, negative aspiration cultures in two cases and the lack of changes in the sacroiliac joints on long-term follow-up radiographs.

Case report 835: Parosteal osteosarcoma involving the left radius.

A case of parosteal osteosarcoma arising in the radius was presented. The site is uncommon, being represented in about 1% of all reported cases of parosteal osteosarcoma. The clinical and radiographic characteristics of this lesion were described and the histological as well as the differential diagnosis discussed.

Subperiosteal giant-cell reparative granuloma.

We present a case of subperiosteal giant-cell reparative granuloma followed over six years showing the complete evolution from the early phase of subperiosteal haematoma to the end stage of an ossified haematoma. Such lesions, although they are histologically similar to true giant-cell tumours, can be distinguished by the patients' age, their location on the diaphysis, and by their radiological and histological features.

Case report 785: Radiation-induced osteochondroma of the ilium.

A case of osteochondroma of the pelvis secondary to radiation therapy after radical nephrectomy for a Wilm's tumor is reported. The occurrence of such a complication has been discussed. Proof was obtained by open biopsy. The indications for surgical resection of such a tumor were considered. The differential diagnosis, though limited, was discussed.

Case report 773. Radiation-induced osteochondroma of the ilium.

A case of osteochondroma of the pelvis secondary to radiation therapy after radical nephrectomy for a Wilm's tumor is reported. The occurrence of such a complication is discussed. Proof was obtained by open biopsy. The indications for surgical resection of such a tumor were considered. The differential diagnosis, although limited in scope, was discussed.

Lesions of juxtacortical origin (surface lesions of bone).

A large variety of tumor and tumor-like conditions have been shown to originate from the surface of bone (Table 1). Most surface lesions are associated with periosteal reaction. The periosteum is a multipotential membrane. Its cellular composition may give rise to a variety of both neoplasms and tumor-like conditions. To avoid misinterpretation, the orthopedist, radiologist, and pathologist should be familiar with the entire spectrum of surface lesions. A better understanding of the natural history and biological behavior at different lesional maturity stages and correlation of the history with the radiographic and pathological findings is essential to establish the correct diagnosis. A history of injury or blunt trauma is very important. A stress fracture may produce a periosteal reaction acd callus that can be difficult to distinguish from osteosarcoma. In this review article, the authors wish to describe and define each term by its anatomy and radiographic features while discussing the entire spectrum of surface lesions. All the illustrative cases in this review article have been proven histologically.

Case report 794. Primary leiomyosarcoma of the right femur (fig. 4).

A rare case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the proximal end of the shaft of the right femur in a 52-year-old man has been reported. Proof was obtained by an open biopsy. The origin, pathological features, and clinical presentation have been discussed. The radiographic appearance, the differential diagnosis, and the poor prognosis of this tumor have also been indicated.

Case report 796. Alveolar soft part sarcoma.

We have presented a young adult with alveolar soft part sarcoma. The lesion occurred in the ankle region and caused extensive bony erosion that mimicked metastasis. At the time of presentation, gingival and subcutaneous metastases were present. Within a short period, however, the patient developed disseminated lung and skeletal metastases as well.

Case report 810: Giant cell tumor of the first metatarsal.

And unusual case of giant cell tumor in a 3-year-old girl has been presented. The topic of giant cell tumors has been discussed at length. The pathology and the differential diagnosis have been considered. The incidence of giant cell tumors in children and adolescents has also been reviewed and proved to be extremely rare.

The role of microvascular surgery in limb-sparing procedures for malignant tumors of the knee.

Limb-sparing surgery has proven to be a feasible alternative to amputation for treatment of malignant tumors about the knee. Microvascular surgery and the possibility of providing healthy, stable soft-tissue coverage to the affected limb have expanded the possible role of limb-sparing techniques. Microvascular free flaps were utilized in 26 patients undergoing resection for large malignant tumors of the knee or adjacent to the knee. Patients were then followed for a minimum of 3 years to a maximum of 7 years and evaluated for tumor recurrence and limb function. Survival and disease-free interval were 68 and 77 percent, respectively, in stage II patients and only 50 and 0 percent, respectively, in stage III patients. Function, as determined by the MSTS functional evaluation system, was found to be fair to good in all patients. Microvascular free-tissue transfer has proven to be a valuable adjunct in limb-sparing surgery.

Periosteal ganglia: CT and MR imaging features.

The imaging features of four cases of periosteal ganglia were studied. Three lesions were located over the proximal shaft of the tibia, in proximity to the pes anserinus. The fourth lesion involved the distal shaft of the ulna. Three lesions had different degrees of external cortical erosion, scalloping, and thick spicules of periosteal bone on plain radiographs. The bone adjacent to the fourth lesion was not involved. Computed tomography (CT) showed these lesions to be sharply defined soft-tissue masses abutting the periosteum. All of the lesions had the same attenuation as fluid. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed the ganglia to be sharply defined masses that were isointense compared with neighboring muscles on T1-weighted images. There was markedly increased signal intensity compared with that of fat on T2-weighted images. The signal intensity on both types of images was homogeneous. The MR imaging features were consistent with the fluid nature of the lesions. Under the appropriate clinical circumstances, the MR imaging and CT features of periosteal ganglia are diagnostic.
