Abstract:

Epitheloid osteosarcoma (carcinosarcoma) of the bone is a rare malignant tumor and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. In this study, we report two cases of osseous carcinosarcoma (epitheloid osteosarcoma) with immunohistochemical studies.  The morphological and immunohistochemical data in these two cases support the theory of divergent differentiation of primitive, uncommitted multipotiential stem cell to produce biphenotypic tumors.

Primary Ewing sarcoma of the spine: Report of two cases.

Ewing sarcoma is a primary bone tumor which was originally described by Lucke in 1866 but was defined in such detail by Sir James Ewing in 1921 that it is now associated with his name [1]. This tumor involves the spine primarily in 3.5% to 14.9% r ~ ~ases [2,3]. The review of 22 cases of Ewing Sarcoma of the spine by Pilepich et al in 1981 [4] remains the largest study of this pathology in such...
