    For bone tumors like sarcomas, excisional biopsy is often preferred over incisional biopsy. This approach can prevent amputation and minimize functional loss, even if the tumor is benign.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Compartmental resection without biopsy is standard for soft tissue tumors.
    • Bone tumors, particularly suspected sarcomas, pose diagnostic and surgical challenges.
    • Excisional biopsy for bone tumors can lead to reconstruction issues or unnecessary mutilation if benign.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of excisional biopsy as a primary procedure for specific bone tumors.
    • To compare the outcomes of excisional versus incisional biopsy in the context of bone tumor management.
    • To highlight the advantages and disadvantages of excisional biopsy in managing potentially malignant bone tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical principles for bone tumor diagnosis and treatment.

  • Analysis of cases involving excisional biopsy for specific bone locations (fibula, clavicula, etc.).
  • Discussion of oncological and functional outcomes based on biopsy type.

    • Main Results:

    • Excisional biopsy is feasible and advantageous for tumors in the fibula, clavicula, metatarsals, metacarpals, distal ulna, and proximal radius.
    • This approach can avert amputation for malignant bone tumors.
    • Incisional biopsy may necessitate wider definitive surgery and lead to greater mutilation.

    Conclusions:

    • Excisional biopsy should be considered for specific bone tumors, balancing diagnostic accuracy with functional preservation.
    • The choice between excisional and incisional biopsy impacts the extent of definitive surgery and patient outcomes.
    • Careful consideration of tumor location and suspected malignancy is crucial for optimal surgical strategy.
