Abstract

Introduction: Calcium deposition in the skin has been termed as calcinosis cutis. Tumoral calcinosis is idiopathic form of calcinosis cutis. Etiology of idiopathic calcinosis cutis is unknown. It is characterized by periarticular deposition of amorphous calcium salts around large joints. Our diligent search through literature could not find any consensus on the etiopathogenesis and treatment modalities for tumoral calcinosis.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of seven patients of tumoral calcinosis treated with complete surgical excision over a period of 1 year was done. Demographic details were compiled. Routine blood investigations were performed. All patients underwent radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of involved part. We did not perform computed tomography (CT) or bone scan in any of our patients. All seven patients underwent surgery and were followed up till 2 years.
Results: In our study, five were female and two were male patients ranging from 31 to 76 years. Size of swelling varied from 2 to 15 cm. Most common location was hip. Serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase were normal in all patients. Radiographs showed well-outlined periarticular cluster of calcifications in the soft tissues around joint. MRI revealed round to oval multiple cystic lesions around the affected region, but not involving the joint.
Conclusion: Tumoral calcinosis is always the diagnosis of exclusion. It can be normophosphatemic or hypophosphatemic subtype. Large joints are more commonly affected. One can rely on radiographs for diagnosis. MRI for knowing exact location of lesion, its relationship with adjacent structures and planning of surgery is advocated. Complete surgical excision is the only optimum treatment of tumoral calcinosis.
Keywords: Amorphous calcium phosphate, hyperphosphatemia, X-ray film, hip joint, calcinosis, magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract

Introduction: Synovial sarcomas of the hand are extremely rare, high grade, slow growing, malignant soft-tissue neoplasms. They represent only a fraction of soft-tissue sarcomas, are usually found in the lower extremities around tendon sheaths, bursae, and joint capsules, and carry a significant risk for recurrence and eventual metastasis to the lymph nodes and lungs. There are limited reports of synovial sarcomas of the hand.
Case Report: A 67-year-old male presented with a slow-growing soft-tissue mass of the proximal right long finger over the course of one year. Initial excision was performed, which provided a diagnosis of monophasic synovial cell sarcoma. Subsequently, the patient underwent further staging with an eventual ray resection of the right long finger and an index ray transfer.
Conclusion: There are unique approaches to a patient with a highly malignant neoplasm in the hand. By performing a ray resection and index ray transfer, the patient was spared the potential side effects of radiation therapy and provided a quality functional and cosmetic outcome. The patient returned to work 4 weeks postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, this treatment has not been used for a synovial sarcoma of the hand.

Abstract

Introduction: Distal radius is one of the common locations for giant cell tumor (GCT) in the second to the fourth decade of life. Based on the extent of the tumor, various treatment options are available such as curettage and bone grafting or use of bone cement, various ablation techniques, excision, and vascularized or non-vascularized fibular graft. However, when subchondral bone and articular surface are involved and the patient is not ready for the fibular grafting, one of the methods described is excision and use of custom-made acrylic prosthesis, of which fracture prosthesis is a complication. Here, we are reporting a case who presented with a fractured prosthesis,  the way we managed it and the precautions that can be taken while use of the prosthesis.
Case Report: We are presenting a case of a 42-year-old male who came back after 2 years of implantation with a fractured prosthesis, which happened during a routine activity. There was no evidence of recurrence of the tumor. A discussion about the cause, the management done, precautions to be taken while implanting acrylic prosthesis, and a follow-up of the patient for 3 years is also done.
Conclusion: Acrylic can be used as a cost-efficient material for a prosthesis in both primary excision and revisions in distal radius GCT with good functional results if specific precautions are taken preoperatively and intraoperatively.
Keywords: Acrylic prosthesis, broken prosthesis, fractured prosthesis, radius giant cell tumor.

Abstract

Introduction: Calcaneum is a rare site for Ewing’s sarcoma. The treatment includes neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by surgical resection and adjuvant systemic therapy. The reconstruction options in this era of limb salvage for bone tumors are not much established in calcaneal tumors in view of limited reporting. Various other reconstruction options available are allograft, iliac crest autograft, and custom-made prosthesis.
Case Report: We have reported a 13-year-old female patient with Ewing’s sarcoma of calcaneum diagnosed by imaging and biopsy. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then had undergone total calcanectomy with allograft reconstruction. The post-operative outcomes are fair, and the patient is on adjuvant chemotherapy at present.
Conclusion: Biological reconstruction in the form of allograft is a reliable option with regard to the functional outcomes for calcaneal resections.
Keywords: Calcaneum, Ewing sarcoma, total calcanectomy, allograft.

Abstract
Background: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare, benign, expansile lesion that produces blood-filled cavities inside the bone. The term, ‘Aneurysmal bone cyst’ was first time used by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1942 [1]. The name is a misnomer, as they are neither aneurysmal nor are, they truly cystic, as these lesions do not have an endothelial lined cyst wall. ABC is a disease of childhood or young adulthood with a median age of 13 years, with an incidence of 0.14 per 105 individuals with slight female preponderance [2].
Pathophysiology: ABC usually present as a solitary lesion either as a primary neoplasm (translocation driven) or a secondary lesion arising adjacent to previous bony lesions like giant cell tumours (GCT), osteoblastomas, chondroblastomas [3]. Few authors have proposed post traumatic hypothesis whereas others feel it could due to an hemodynamic disturbance especially venous impedance.
Primary ABCs: Primary ABC is one where it occurs in a bone without any previously known lesion. But now there has been identification of TRE17 also known as USP6 (ubiquitin-specific protease 6) gene on chromosome 17p13.Pathogenesis of some primary ABC involves transcriptional up-regulation of USP6 when there is the chromosomal translocation t(16;17)(q22;p13) which fuses the promoter region of the osteoblast cadherin 11 gene (CDH11) on chromosome 16q22 to the entire coding sequence of the ubiquitin protease USP6 gene on chromosome 17p13 [4].
Secondary ABCs: Approximately one third of the ABCs appear secondary to other pre-existing bone tumours, most commonly from GCT, which accounts for 19-39% of these cases [5]. Other common precursor lesions are chondroblastomas, chondromyxoid fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, osteoblastomas, haemangioendothelioma, angioma, fibroxanthoma (nonossifying fibroma), solitary bone cyst, fibrous histiocytoma, eosinophilic granuloma, radiation osteitis, osteosarcoma, trauma (including fracture), fibrosarcoma and even metastatic carcinoma [3, 5].
ABCs have been likened to a “blood-filled sponge”, composed of blood-filled, anastomosing, cavernomatous spaces, separated by a cyst like wall composed of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, osteoclast like giant cells, osteoid and woven bone.
In approximately one third of cases, a characteristic reticulated lacy chondroid like material, described as a calcified matrix with a chondroid aura, is seen [6]. These are called as “solid aneurysmal bone cyst”. The term “solid aneurysmal bone cyst,” was coined by Sanerkin et al. in 1983 [7].

We are pleased to bring you the IMSOS issue for 2020. JBST is the official publication of the Indian musculoskeletal oncology society (IMSOS). This is the second consecutive year that we are publishing a special IMSOS issue, which typically coincides with the IMSOS annual conference in early March.

Since the last year, JBST editorial board has 2 IMSOS life members selected as IMSOS representatives. Dr. Akshay Tiwari and Dr. Dominic Putthoor are the current IMSOS representatives on the JBST editorial board. Both have a vast experience of treating bone and soft tissue tumors and bring along considerable credibility to the work published in the issue.

IMSOS annual conference this year is being held at Bengaluru. The organising secretary Dr. Suman Byregowda and his team have put up an exceptional scientific program. The current IMSOS issue being released online to coincide with the annual conference promises to add to the academic value that IMSOS had aimed at. The conference is being held on the background of the Covid 19 scare that is looking to grip India. Hopefully the great academic content, warm hospitality and gracious hosts will not let the scare dampen the fervor and camaraderie.

JBST wishes IMSOS 2020 the very best.
