Abstract
Introduction: Prognostic factors for metastatic breast carcinoma are a less studied topic than a prognostic factor for primary breast cancer. Bone is the most frequent site for metastasis in breast cancer patients. Bone metastasis decreases the survival and impacts the quality of life(QoL)in breast cancer patients. Therefore, the study to identify prognostic factors of this specific group of patients appears to be worthy of more detailed study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind in the North Indian population.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective case–control study was conducted at a tertiary cancer centerin Northern India between January 2011 and December 2015. All patients’ clinical and demographic data were obtained from the medical record of the institute. The incidence and distribution of bone metastases from breast cancer were evaluated, and the correlation between diverse clinical-pathological parameters and bone metastases were analyzed in this study.
Results: A total of 363 patients were recruited, including 94 cases with bone metastases and 269 controls without bone metastases at presentation. Positive axillary lymph node status, higher stage tumors, HER2 neu-negative disease, and histological subtypes of tumor were found significant prognostic factors in univariate analysis associated with higher rates of bone metastasis. Luminal A(estrogen receptor-positive [ER+], progesterone receptor-positive [PR+], HER2–ve, Grade 1,2), and HER 2 enriched (ER –ve, PR–ve, and HER 2+) molecular subtypes are associated with increased risk of bone metastasis. None of the risk factors studied were significantly associated with bonemetastasis in binary logistic regression analysis.
Conclusion: Identification of breast cancer patients at risk for bone metastasis may aid in the prevention, prediction, detection, and early treatment of these lesions, thus providing improved survival and better QoL.
Keywords: Bone metastasis, risk factors, breast cancer.

Abstract
Context: Despite the advances in surgical treatments and chemotherapy, obtaining an optimal outcome in the treatment of musculoskeletal tumors or sarcomas is still quite challenging. This can be managed by improving various factors such as survival and recurrence rate, longevity of the prosthesis, functional outcome, and quality of life (QOL) of patients. However, not much attention has been given to this issue in India.
Aims: The aim of the study was to examine the QOL and functional outcome of musculoskeletal cancer patients who were treated with revision limb salvage surgery (LSS) and those who underwent above-knee (AK) amputation followed by rehabilitation with Akprosthesis.
Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out between May 2015 and April 2016 at Physiotherapy Out patient Department of Cancer Institute, Chennai.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-two patients aged between 15and 60 years, treated with revision LSS (n=15) and those rehabilitated with prosthesis after AK amputation (n=17)were assessed for QOL and functional outcome. Cancer Institute QOL questionnaire was used to assess QOL and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was used to find the functional outcome of these patients.
Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics, student’s t-test, and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data using SPSS version 13.
Results: The revision LSS patients were found to have a better functional outcome as well as QOL than the amputees. Yet another aspect of QOL, namely, fear of recurrence was much lesser among AK amputees than revision LSS patients.
Conclusions: The findings of this study imply that revision LSS has higher advantages in terms of functional outcome and QOL of patients compared to amputation, though patients treated with revision LSS were found to have increased fear of recurrence and pain than the amputees.
Keywords: Revision limb salvage surgery, quality of life, functional outcome, amputation, musculoskeletal tumor.

Abstract
Introduction: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is often described as the mature, lamellar bone formed in a non-osseous tissue. This new bone formation usually occurs between muscle planes or between muscle and joint capsule. When it surrounds a joint circumferentially, it is known as (HO) Heterotopic Ossification circumferentia articular is circumferential articularis (HOCA). HOCA of the knee has been described earlier in the literature, but this term has never been described for the hip joint in the literature.
Case Presentation: We present a case series of two such patients having HOCA of hip joints. In both the cases, there was a history of brain injury and prolonged intubation, which seems the most likely predisposing factors in the causation of HOCA in these hips.
Conclusion: We believe that in our patient, the responsible factors for the causation of HOCA could be myriad of factors such as prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay with mechanical ventilation and hypoxia, long-standing immobilization, and hypomobility with incomplete flaccid paralysis. The surgical excision is quite challenging, extensive and is not advisable in most cases, and they respond symptomatically to conservative methods including analgesics, bisphosphonates, physiotherapy, and radiation.
Keywords: Heterotopic ossification circumferentia articularis, hip joint, neurological injury,

Abstract
Introduction: Lipomas are the most frequent benign soft-tissue tumors. Soft -tissue lipomas are categorized by anatomic location as either superficial (subcutaneous) or deep (intermuscular). Deep lipomas can be located in any part of the body, including the superior extremities. Lipomas typically reach a diameter of several centimeters and are localized in a single anatomical region. Parosteal lipoma is a rare subtype of deep lipoma that has a broad attachment to the underlying periosteum that forms an exostoses-like bone prominence. There has been no reliable literature; about two pathological processes occur in one extremity at the same time.
Case Presentation: A 49-years -old female presented at our institution with a painless, slow -growing lump in her right shoulder region since for 2 years ago, with no other symptoms, and no history of trauma. A palpable non-tender mobile mass was present on the right shoulder region. Plain radiographs showed a well-delineated ovoid radiolucent lesion and a radiopaque lesion over the right proximal humerus. The fine -needle biopsy result suggested a liposarcoma. Wide-excision surgery was performed for both the masses. On contrary, the histological examination of the specimen confirmed a giant lipoma with pieces of adult bone tissues.
Conclusion: Deep-seated lipomas are most commonly discovered in men between the ages of thirties 30s and sixties60s. In our patient, the lipoma also accompanied with an exostoses-like cartilaginous mass over the proximal humerus as in parosteal lipoma. Plain radiographs study of parosteal lipoma is associated with a false osteochondroma appearance, which also found in this patient. Histological examination suggested a giant lipoma for this patient, but the possibility of two pathological processes is still in question.
Keywords: Giant lipoma, shoulder, exostosis, surgery.

Abstract
Context: Enlarging sternal masses are critical to manage due to proximity of various vital structures nearby. Association of respiratory compromise or vascular compression still worsens the issue. We here present a case of multiple enchondromas primarily affecting the ribs and upper part of sternum and presented as a swelling in upper chest and lower neck with a history of compressive respiratory compromise. The child was later taken for shaving off of the lesion for relieving the respiratory compromise. Absence of the swelling was a definite cosmetic outcome for the child and the parents; however, relieve of respiratory compromise was a worthy addressed need.
Keywords: Enchondroma, multiple enchondroma, Ollier’s disease, giant sternal mass, sternal mass with respiratory compromise.
