JBST- Special IMSOS 2019 Issue

JBST is entering the fifth year of publication . This would not have been possible without the help of the contribution by authors, guest editors, reviewers and the publication house team.

We take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them. Already indexed with Index Copernicus, google scholar and ETH Bibliothek , JBST is very close to pubmed indexation.

Our attempt over the last few issues has been to emphasise on publishing original work than invited or review articles so as to make the journal the chosen one for all those working in the field of bone and soft tissue tumors. We continue to bring to the readers the current concept in management of common bone and soft tissue tumors and tumor like conditions through sections like Students corner which is very useful for residents and consultants alike.

JBST is now affiliated with the IMSOS ( Indian musculo skeletal oncology society) and APMSTS ( Asia Pacific musculo skeletal oncology society) and will be showcasing their activities from time to time. Members of these associations can have the benefit of availing the opportunity of freely publishing in JBST. We are sure that this will add a new dimension and depth to the content of the journal.

We would like to thank the readers for their contribution and would like to hear from you about your experience and feedback so as to make JBST better.

Abstract

Introduction: Ancient schwannomas are rare variant of peripheral nerve sheath tumors characterized by the degeneration and hypocellular areas due to long-standing growth. Clinicoradiologically, these tumors can masquerade other tumors arising from the adjacent tissues. Their resemblance to malignant bone tumor has been reported very rarely in the literature. We tend to report a case of benign peripheral nerve schwannoma that greatly mimicked a juxtacortical osteosarcoma of femur.
Case Report: A 23-year-old male presented with a slow-growing painless mass with paresthesias in his right thigh for the last 2½ years. Clinically, it was suspected to be soft tissue tumor with secondary involvement of adjacent neurovascular bundle; however, plain radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging of his right thigh were suggestive of juxtacortical osteosarcoma of the right femur. Surgical exploration of the mass revealed a well-defined encapsulated mass over the anterior aspect of the right thigh, under the quadriceps muscle without infiltration into the surrounding tissue. Histopathological examination confirmed it to be an ancient schwannoma.
Results: The patient was extremely satisfied with outcomes of surgery, and he was symptom-free and there was no clinical evidence of the recurrence on subsequent follow-up.
Conclusion: A correct pre-operative diagnosis of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors can be difficult at times. However, a slow-growing mass with the absence of other features of a malignant growth and subsequent histopathological examination including immunostaining can settle the diagnosis in almost all the cases.
Keywords: Benign, Peripheral nerve, Ancient schwannoma, Juxtacortical osteosarcoma.
