Abstract

Background: Vertebral osteosarcoma is rare, accounting for 3%–5% of all osteosarcomas. It tends to occur in a slightly older age group. The prognosis is poor compared to osteosarcoma of extremities.
Case Report: We present five cases of vertebral osteosarcomas. The patient’s age ranged from 16 years to 54 years. There were four females and one male. They presented with pain, swelling, or weakness of limbs. Destructive lesions, mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions involving vertebral bodies, and/or pedicles were seen on imaging. A definitive diagnosis could not be made in two cases. On histopathological examination, all the cases turned out to be osteosarcomas.
Conclusion: Osteosarcoma of vertebrae has high rate of recurrence, metastasis, and mortality. Differentiation of vertebral osteosarcoma from other common bony lesions involving the spine is of utmost importance as the treatment is entirely different. Combination therapies including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy achieve adequate short-term survival rates for vertebral osteosarcoma.

Abstract

Introduction: Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are benign, epiphyseal, locally aggressive bone tumors. Pelvic GCTs are sparingly encountered and present a challenging scenario for the surgeon to not only diagnose but also to treat appropriately. Multiple treatment options are available as per the literature but no single approach is universally accepted. Moreover, due to the complex anatomy of the pelvis, novel treatment options have also been tried.
Case Report: A 30-year-old male presented to the outpatient clinic with complaints of gradually progressive dull aching pain in his right hip for 6 months. On radiological investigation, he was found to have a lytic lesion in the right periacetabular region. Image-guided biopsy revealed GCT on histopathological examination. The final management included extended curettage of the tumor and reconstruction of the remaining defect with trabecular metal (TM) augment supplemented with reconstruction plate. The patient resumed full activity and remains asymptomatic and disease free at 5 years follow-up.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case for the use of TM augment in reconstruction of bone defect following curettage for GCT in pelvis.

Keywords: Giant cell tumor pelvis, trabecular metal, acetabular reconstruction.
