Osteochondroma after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: report of eight cases

Abstract: Summary:Eight children developed osteochondroma (OS) at a mean of 88 months after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The mean age at HSCT was 56 months (12-84). This represents a cumulative incidence of 20% among patients less than 18 years of age transplanted from 1981 to 1997. These eight patients underwent allogeneic (n = 2) or autologous (n = 6) transplantation for either acute leukemia (n = 6) or neuroblastoma (n = 2) after a conditioning regimen including TBI (n = 7) or a combination of Bu a… Show more

“…Children receiving GH develop osteochondromas earlier and at a shorter time after transplantation than children not receiving GH. [45][46][47] These data suggest that in this population of children given TBI, use of GH may stimulate radiotherapy-disturbed epiphyses resulting in an increased incidence of osteochondromas. 45,47 GH recipients in the present study developed osteochondromas longer after transplantation but were younger at HCT than the non-GH-treated patients.…”

“…Radiation-induced osteochondromas occur at an incidence of 10% to 12% after radiotherapy and an incidence of 10% to 24% after TBI. [44][45][46][47] Younger children are at greatest risk because of their greater growth potential. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can arrest growth and cause epiphyses to remain open longer than usual, permitting osteochondromas to develop.…”

“…34 Previously, we and others have reported osteochondromas arising in patients following ASCT for high-risk NB. 35,36 Since our previous report of five cases, 36 we have identified a further three cases. Other musculoskeletal complications including fractures and slipped capital femoral epiphyses were observed in six patients.…”

“…Yet spinal OCs are in fact rare, which has raised the possibility that vertebral bodies and pedicles may be inherently less predisposed to radiation-related or spontaneous OCs. 41,42 Spinal OCs were noted in two early reports on OCs and local RT, 9,10 but not in others, 6-8 and were not described in reports on toxicities of TBI 13,16,17,21-23 or in other reports with details on sites of OCs. 11,31,33 …”
