[Clinico-morphological analysis of bone fibrosarcomas (a retrospective study)]

The data on 35 cases of bone fibrosarcoma treated at the Center clinic in 1955-1982 are presented. A retrospective morphological investigation left diagnosis unchanged in 17 cases (48.6%). In 9 cases diagnosis was changed to fibrous histiocytoma of the bone, in 2--parostal sarcoma and in one case--"dedifferentiated" chondrosarcoma. In 6 cases, diagnosis could not be improved and neoplasms were identified as poly-morphocellular sarcoma. Clinically, a more favorable course and prognosis are distinguishing features of fibrosarcoma as compared with osteogenic sarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
