ABSTRACT

For pediatric malignant bone tumors located in the limbs, limb salvage surgery is the gold standard, but it requires adequate resection margins to avoid local recurrence. Primitive bone sarcomas of the forearm (radius or ulna) are very rare and the reconstruction remains challenging. We describe a method to ensure minimal but adequate resection bone margins with precision in four consecutive patients with primitive bone sarcomas of the forearm. During the preoperative planning, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to delineate the tumor and the tumor volume was transferred to computerized tomography (CT) by image fusion. A patient-specific instrument (PSI) was manufactured by 3D printing to allow the surgeon to perform the surgical cuts precisely according to the preoperative planning. The first PSI was used for the resection of the tumor, which adopted a unique position at the bony surface. A second PSI was intended for the cutting of the bone allograft so that it fitted perfectly with the bone defect. In all four cases, the safe margin obtained into the bone was free of tumor (R0: microscopically margin-negative resection). The functional result was very good in all four patients. This limb salvage surgical technique can be applied in forearm bone sarcoma and improves surgical precision while maintaining satisfactory local tumor control. It can also reduce the surgical time and allow a stable osteosynthesis.

ABSTRACT

Gorham Stout disease is a very rare monostotic or polyostotic osteolysis and physiopathology of the osteolysis is not yet fully understood. Three new cases are reported with their evolution and treatment. Among these 3 cases, two are very rare cases of polyostotic involvement. One patient finally deceased from respiratory complications despite limb amputation. The two others are alive. Both needed final reconstruction with massive bone allograft for one and with a prosthesis for the other. Monostotic osteolysis is the most frequent presentation of Gorham Stout disease and extensive polyostotic osteolysis is very rare. Treatment methods vary from one clinic to another, from drug treatment to surgical treatment with or without radiotherapy. Sometimes, as a last solution, an amputation of the affected limb is performed. The prognosis depends on the affected region and the reponse to various treatments. Chylothorax seems to be a factor of poor prognosis.
