ABSTRACT

The expression of MMP-1, -2, -9 and TIMP-1 was studied in 10 benign cartilage-forming osteal tumors (5 osteochondromas and 5 chondromas) and 39 chondrosarcomas (14 central, 4 periosteal, 7 dedifferentiated, and 14 secondary tumors). No expression of MMP and TIMP-1 was detected in benign cartilage-forming osteal tumors. In chondrosarcomas, the expression of MMP-1 was detected in 84.6%, of MMP-2 in 71.8, of MMP-9 in 97.4, and of TIMP-1 in 82.4% cases, the levels of expression of these markers varied from 10 to 60%. The expression of MMP-1 was not associated with patient gender, maximum size and degree of differentiation of the tumor, but was linked with age. The expression of MMP-1 was more often detected in central and dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas; the expression of MMP-1(+) was significantly associated with 3-year relapse-free and 5-year overall survival of the patients. The expression of MMP-1 in the tumor was associated with unfavorable course of the disease. The values of MMP-2 expression in chondrosarcomas did not reflect the main clinical morphological characteristics of the disease and its prognosis. The level of MMP-9 protein expression in chondrosarcomas ≥40% is prognostically unfavorable, while <40% is a favorable factor for 3-year relapse-free survival. The risk of disease relapse within 1 year after the beginning of therapy was maximum in T3 tumors with expression of MMP-9 protein ≥40%. No relationships between the parameters of TIMP-1 expression in chondrosarcomas and the main clinical morphological characteristics of the disease and its prognosis were detected.

ABSTRACT

The paper gives a rare case of soft tissue chondroma in a 55-year-old female woman who has unsuccessfully received physiotherapeutic procedures for more than 6 months due to misdiagnosis. The patient detected the tumor herself. Clinical and X-ray diagnostic difficulties are considered. Differential diagnosis was made between synovial chondromatosis and chondrosarcoma. A correct diagnosis could be established only at open tumor biopsy. The neurovascular fascicle, tendons, and an intrinsic group of shoulder muscles could be preserved during radical surgery. The problems in the morphological diagnosis of extraskeletal chondroma are discussed in detail. The results of organ-preserving resection are presented.

ABSTRACT

In 2001-2007, Moscow cancer hospital sixty-two examined 77 patients with chondrosarcoma (including consultative cases). The dedifferentiated form of the tumor was confirmed in 10 (13%) cases. Recurrences and metastases were observed in 3 patients. Radical surgery could be performed in 5 patients, including interileoabdominal exarticulation in 4 patients. Immunohistochemical studies provide a way of specifying the nature of one of the tumor components. Ultrastructural data on the components of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma are first presented in the Russian literature. Fine-needle biopsy and trepan-biopsy may give an incorrect guide to choosing treatment policy. The experience in performing combined therapy for this unusual tumor is first presented in the Russian literature and drug pathomorphism has been studied. Radical surgery remains to be the method of choice in treating patients with dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma; however, the capabilities of multidrug therapy and irradiation should not be ignored in this form of the tumor.

ABSTRACT

Osteochondroma is the most common true bone neoplasm formed by a cartilage capped bony projection arising on the external surface of a bone containing a marrow cavity that is continuous with that of the underlying bone. Osteochondromas generally arise in the bones preformed by cartilage. Osteochondromas may be solitary and multiple. Most reported cases have been in the first 3 decades with no known sex predilection. The lesion has three layers - perichondrium, cartilage and bone. The cartilage cap is usually less than 2.0 cm thick, superficial chondrocytes are clustered, the ones close to the transition to the bone resemble a growth plate, they are organized into chords and undergo enchondrial ossification. Loss of the architecture of cartilage, wide fibrous bands, myxoid change, increased chondrocyte cellularity, mitotic activity, significant chondrocyte atypia and necrosis are all features that may indicate secondary malignant transformation.

ABSTRACT

Bizarre paraostial osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a reactive process composed of bone and cartilage attached to the surface of a bone, the condition was first described by Nora et al. as a reactive proliferation involving small bones. A case of a 76-year-old male represents the first description of BPOP in the Russian literature. The patient has a history of trauma, the duration of symptoms being more than a year. Xray study shows suspected secondary chondrosarcoma. The benign space-occupying lesion BPOP is verified after wedge resection of the phalanx. The described condition seems to occur more frequently than reported in the literature. Current imaging techniques and histological study permit avoidance of diagnostic errors and correct choice of the scope of treatment.

ABSTRACT

A total of 109 patients with chondrosarcoma were operated on in 2005-2007. Classical primary chondrosarcoma was verified in 77 cases; secondary and periosteal chondrosarcomas were confirmed in 28 and 4 patients, respectively. By analyzing their findings and the data available in the literature, the authors considered the current problems in the classification and diagnosis of the most common types of cartilaginous malignancies. New techniques, including cytogenetic assay, significantly alleviate this problem. However, the most precise cytogenetic assays are expensive and not always accessible for usual oncological care. The principal criteria in practice are a clinical picture, the results of radiation studies, and the standard histological method that establishes the differentiation of chondrosarcoma, the extent of a process, and the specific features of tumor growth. Immunohistochemical assay are of no crucial importance. In some cases, fine-needle biopsy may provide useful information to make a decision on treatment policy.

ABSTRACT

Chondroblastom, benign cartilage tissue neoplasm, accounts for 1% of all bone tumors. It is encountered in any skeletal bones mainly in persons aged 10 and 25 years. Morphologically, it is represented as large homogenous cells--well-defined oval polygonal chondroblasts with a fine eosinophilic cytoplasm, and a round-to-oval nucleus. Cartilaginous portions of chondroblastoma form lobular structures. The tumor always comprises single-to-multiple multinucleate giant cells. The pathognomonic sign of chondroblastoma is intercellular reticular basophilically stained calcifications as a mesh. Mitotic cells, rather than abnormal ones, are present. There are cases of primary malignant chondroblastomas.

ABSTRACT

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare tumor of unknown histogenesis. It consists of chains and trabecules of ovoid cells in the fibromyxoid stroma (ICD code 8842/0). Tumor is frequently surrounded in part by a capsule of laminar bone. It is more frequent in males 14-79 years of age, mean 44 years. Soft tissues of extremities is a preferable location, but body, neck, oral cavity, mediastinum and retroperitoneal tissue can also be the site of OFMT. More than 100 OFMT cases are reported abroad. It is frequently masked by other tumors of soft tissues. We describe 3 cases in our country: 2 in 65 and 66 year old females and in a 44 year old male. Lipoma and soft tissue sarcoma were suspected clinically. Fibroblasts were found cytologically before operation in one case. Diagnosis was established after total biopsy of the tumor. One of the females is under observation after the operation without recurrence during more than two years. Preoperative diagnosis is sometimes possible when characteristic osteoblastic foci are observed.

ABSTRACT

Four cases of adamantinomas of the long tubular bones, ulna and femur among them which rarely occur in patients aged 18-64 years (one female) are reported. A late metastasis to the sacrum was observed in one case. Typical diagnostic errors are described. Electron microscopy data are provided. Immunohistochemistry helps in differential diagnosis of this tumor. Histology does not give too much for the prognosis, radical resection does not influence the incidence of recurrences and metastases. The surgeons should be warned against enucleation of the tumor.

ABSTRACT

The article deals with the results of operations applied in the system of complex treatment of 83 patients (86 operations) with metastases of malignant tumours in the skeletal bones. Fourteen patient had carcinoma of the lung, 23--carcinoma of the breast, 28--carcinoma of the kidney, 8--carcinoma of the thyroid gland, and 10 patients had other malignant tumors. Operative interventions in the form of resection of the articular end or total removal of a tubular bone with endoprosthesis in affection of a long tubular bone and its pathological fracture or the threat of such fracture were substantiated. In the presence of special indications, osteosynthesis of the pathological fracture or amputation (exarticulation) of the limb may be undertaken. Laminectomy is indicated in metastatic lesion of the spine with the development of neurological disorders. Four (5%) patients died in the postoperative period. Average survival in the group of patients was 35 months, in the separate groups it was as follows: lung carcinoma metastases--9 months, kidney carcinoma metastases--31 months, thyroid carcinoma metastases--37 months, breast carcinoma metastases--40 months, metastases of other forms of malignant tumors--30 months. Longest survival--7.5 years. Average value of life quality according to Karnovsky was 30% before operation and 67% after it.

ABSTRACT

The author's conception on adequate operations is set forth. He considers adequate only those operations which are performed radically with abidance by ablastemic rules and consideration of the principle of a sheath structure and location after A. I. Rakov, with maintenance of the function of the operated on limb to a maximum degree. Both resection and amputation may be adequate as well as inadequate. The principle elaborated by N. A. Bogoraz and P. I. Tikhov underlies adequate resections. The author's data on the late-term results (follow-up periods of over 20 years) of resections after Tikhov-Linberg in malignant tumors of the ++brachio-scapular region are presented.

ABSTRACT

The paper deals with analysis of data on 37 cases of scapular neoplasms who had undergone such radical function--saving surgery as interscapular-thoracic resection ( Tikhov - Linberg 's operation) (27) or scapulectomy (10). Modifications of both procedures developed by the authors are described. Their application was followed by an improved functional status as compared with other surgical procedures. Oncological status of 30 cases of primary scapular malignancies is discussed: 23 patients were recurrence- and metastasis-free during a follow-up period of 10 months-18 years (21 patients were operated on more than 5 years ago).

ABSTRACT

The results of surgical treatment of 12 patients with metastases in long tubular bones are presented. Palliative surgery-reaction of the heads of bones or removal of the entire long tubular bone with prosthetic replacement--was performed in all cases. All the patients went through the operation well and were discharged from hospital. Pain subsided in all cases and the patients make satisfactory use of the operated extremities. The average survival time by the data of this report was 10.6 months. No local recurrences after bone resections were registered. Due to palliative surgery for metastases into long tubular bones, the patients do not suffer from pain, are mobile and self dependent again. A long survival time may be expected in some cases (solitary metastases), when such palliative procedures are employed.
