Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic oncology
  • Skeletal pathology
  • Tumor biology

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 71 pathologically proven osteosarcoma cases treated between 1961 and 1986.
  • Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor with a bimodal age distribution, predominantly affecting younger individuals.

Purpose:

  • To report on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic findings, and prognostic factors of osteosarcoma.
  • To highlight the importance of histological and ultrastructural features for accurate diagnosis and classification.

Summary:

  • The study observed a male predominance (2.9:1) and a peak age incidence between 11 and 25 years (73.2%).
  • Common clinical presentations included local pain and tenderness, while radiographic findings like Codman's triangle and bone spicules were frequent.

  • Microscopic examination revealed tumor cells forming osteoid, with electron microscopy showing dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic glycogen accumulation. Increased alkaline phosphatase was a notable biochemical marker.

    • Impact:

    • Prognosis is influenced by patient age, tumor site (right vs. left), tumor size, and histological subtype (osteoblastic).
    • Accurate diagnosis and classification are crucial and may require multiple biopsy samples for precise characterization.
    • Findings contribute to understanding osteosarcoma epidemiology and inform diagnostic and prognostic strategies.
