Multifocal synchronous osteosarcoma: The Scottish bone tumour registry experience

Abstract: We report 3 cases of multifocal synchronous osteosarcoma constituting 1% of osteosarcoma cases in the Scottish Bone Tumour Registry over 30 years. All were children and had a median age of 10 years. They all presented with multiple bony lesions in the absence of demonstrable pulmonary metastases. Treatment was with palliative radiotherapy in two and combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the most recent case. Survival was poor in all cases, with a median of 7 months. A proposal is made for genetic studie… Show more

“…3,23 Approximately 70-90% of tumors occur at the ends of long bones, particularly around the knee joint. 3,6,8,23 In the present case, the neoplasms that arose in the metaphyses of multiple long bones in the hind limbs were aggressive sarcomas that exhibited many lines of mesenchymal differentiation, making it difficult to determine the histogenetic classification of this tumor. Immunohistochemistry has been of limited use for the diagnosis of osteosarcoma in human medicine and is used primarily to exclude other neoplastic diseases.…”

“…13,14,20,21,24 Primary osteosarcomas rarely cross joints or invade adjacent bones during early tumorogenesis, but as the tumor increases in size, both events occur more commonly. 8,21,23 Rare cases of multicentric osteosarcoma have been reported in humans and dogs. 3,8,10,14 An osteosarcoma that develops after successful treatment of another osteosarcoma lesion is termed a metachronous osteogenic sarcoma.…”

“…Synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma, a rare variant of osteosarcoma, is described as the simultaneous appearance of two or more tumors at any site in the peripheral or axial skeleton. 7,8,10,11,14,15,18,22,25) We present a case of synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma involving the skull presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage.…”
