Primary sacral tumors are rare, with metastases being most common in adults. This article focuses on benign sacral tumors, excluding malignant types like chordomas and sarcomas.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Primary sacral tumors are uncommon, with metastatic disease being the most frequent type in adults.
  • Chordomas represent the most prevalent primary malignant tumor of the sacrum.
  • Various other malignant tumors can arise in or metastasize to the sacrum, including chondrosarcomas, osteosarcomas, myelomas, and Ewing sarcomas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss benign primary tumors of the sacrum.
  • To differentiate benign from malignant sacral neoplasms.
  • To provide an overview of the characteristics and management of benign sacral tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of primary sacral tumors.
  • Focus on histopathological classification of benign lesions.

  • Discussion of clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • Benign sacral tumors, though rare, constitute a distinct category from malignant neoplasms.
    • Common benign tumors include giant cell tumors, aneurysmal bone cysts, and osteoblastomas.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and prognosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Distinguishing benign from malignant sacral tumors is essential for patient outcomes.
    • A comprehensive understanding of benign sacral tumor pathology aids in treatment planning.
    • Further research into the specific characteristics of rare benign sacral tumors is warranted.
