Introduction Intramedullary osteosarcoma is the most common primary sarcoma of bone the most common malignancy of bone is metastatic disease the most common primary malignancy of bone is myeloma Age & location usually occurs in children and young adults bimodal distribution of occurrence majority occur in the second decade of life second peak in occurrence is in elderly patients with Paget's disease most common site is the distal femur and proximal tibia other common sites include proximal humerus, proximal femur, and pelvis Malignancy most commonly diagnosed as Stage IIB (high grade, extra-compartmental, no metastases) 10-20% of patients present with pulmonary metastases (obtain CT of chest) lung is most common site of metastasis bone is second most common site Genetics patients who carry the Retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (Rb) are predisposed to osteosarcoma risk increased in Rothmund Thomson syndrome AR inheritance, mutations in RECQL4 gene, chr 8q24.3 sun-sensitive facial poikiloderma rash (pigmentation, thinned skin, prominent blood vessels) absent eyelashes, eyebrows, hair juvenile cataracts, teeth abnormalities osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, cutaneous BCC and SCC Prognosis 76% long-term survival with modern treatment poor prognostic factors include advanced stage of disease (most predictive of survival) response to chemotherapy (as judged by percent tumor necrosis of resected specimen) tumor site and size expression of P-glycoprotein high serum alkaline phosphatase high lactic dehydrogenase vascular involvement surgical margins type of chemotherapy regimen Symptoms Symptoms rapidly progressive pain, fever, and swelling Physical exam may feel mass on examination Imaging Radiographs characteristic blastic and destructive lesion sun-burst or hair on end pattern of matrix mineralization periosteal reaction (Codman's triangle) large soft tissue mass with maintenance of bone cortices MRI must include entire involved bone to determine soft tissue involvement neurovascular involvement presence skip metastases if skip metastases are found, this is equivalent to metastatic (stage III) disease Bone scan very hot in osteosarcoma useful to evaluate extent of local disease and presence of bone metastases CT chest CT is required at presentation to evaluate for pulmonary metastases Labs Elevated alkaline phosphatase may be 2-3 times normal value Histology Characteristics tumor cells show significant atypia, and produce "lacey" osteoid stroma cells show malignant characteristics with atypia, high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, and abnormal mitotic figures May have mixed histology with different combinations of chondroblastic,osteoblastic, or fibroblastic looking cells depends on the subtype of osteosarcoma Giant cells may be present in giant cell rich osteosarcoma often confused with giant cell tumor of bone Diagnosis biopsy is required to obtain tissue diagnosis and institute therapy improper biopsy techniques are associated with increased rates of complications biopsy should be performed by the surgeon responsible for definitive treatment of the sarcoma, or after discussion with this surgeon Treatment Operative multi-agent chemotherapy and limb salvage resection indications high grade osteosarcoma chemotherapy preoperative chemotherapy given for 8-12 weeks followed by maintenance chemotherapy for 6-12 months after surgical resection 98% necrosis after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is good prognostic sign expression of multi-drug resistance (MDR) gene tends to have a poor prognosis tumor cells can pump chemotherapy out of cell with MDR expression present in 25% of primary lesions and 50% of metastatic lesions surgical technique trend towards limb salvage whenever possible overall survival in osteosarcoma is equal after limb salvage vs. amputation to deal with local extent of disease rotationplasty is a great surgical option which optimizes the patient's function, and most commonly done in a pediatric population wide surgical resection indications indicated in low grade osteosarcoma such as parosteal osteosarcoma amputation indications pathologic fracture encasing neurovascular bundle enlarging during preop chemo AND adjacent to neurovascular bundle Differentials & Groups Destructive bone lesion in young patients (1) Treatment is Wide Resection & Chemotherapy (2) Osteosarcoma (intramed. & periosteal) • • Ewing's sarcoma • • Leukemia • Lymphoma • Eosinophilic granuloma • Osteomyelitis • Desmoplastic fibroma • MFH / fibrosarcoma • Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma • Secondary sarcoma • Rhabdomyosarcoma (soft tissue) • ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Younger patient is < 40 yrs; (2) assuming no impending fracture IBank Location Age Xray Xray CT Bone scan MRI MRI Histo Case A proximal tibia 13 Case A prox. tibia Case B distal femur Case C distal femur Case D pelvis Case E femoral shaft Case F prox. humerus Case F ankle Case G
