Infarct-associated Bone Sarcomas

Feline Vaccine-Associated Sarcomas

The 'other' bone sarcomas: prognostic factors and outcomes of spindle cell sarcomas of bone.

We aimed to identify the incidence, outcome and prognostic factors associated with spindle cell sarcomas of bone (SCSB). We studied 196 patients with a primary non-metastatic tumour treated with the intent to cure. The results were compared with those of osteosarcoma patients treated at our hospital during the same period. The overall incidence of SCSB was 7.8% of all patients with a primary bo...

AIDS-Associated Cutaneous Kaposi's Sarcomas

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative neoplasm that develops as multifocal lesions, often involving the skin, accompanied by the accumulation of perivascular and interstitial spindle-shaped cells (1). The nature of the proliferating spindle-shaped cells in KS has been a "riddle within a puzzle" for the past century [reviewed in (2) ]. While the endothelial cell has been linked to the s...

Advanced-technology radiation therapy for bone sarcomas.

BACKGROUND Bone sarcomas are rare primary tumors. Radiation therapy (RT) can be useful in securing local control in cases where negative surgical margins cannot be obtained or where tumors are not resected. Recent technical advances in RT offer the opportunity to deliver radiation to these tumors with higher precision, thus allowing higher doses to the tumor target with lower doses to critical ...

Pediatric bone and soft-tissue sarcomas

In this session I will review the clinical and imaging features of the most common pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas and several benign lesions that may mimic them. These malignancies often have unique features that can help narrow the differential diagnosis. The material will be presented in an informal manner and audience participation is encouraged. A review of the appropriate diagnost...
