Objective: To develop and validate clinical-radiomics nomograms based on three-dimensional CT and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for pre-operative differentiation of sacral chordoma (SC) and sacral giant cell tumor (SGCT). Methods: A total of 83 SC and 54 SGCT patients diagnosed through surgical pathology were retrospectively analyzed. We built six models based on CT, CT enhancement (CTE), T1 weighted, T2 weighted, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and contrast-enhanced T1 weighted features, two radiomics nomograms and two clinical-radiomics nomograms combined radiomics mixed features with clinical data. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) analysis were used to assess the performance of the models. Results: SC and SGCT presented significant differences in terms of age, sex, and tumor location (tage = 9.00, χ2sex = 10.86, χ2location = 26.20; p < 0.01). For individual scan, the radiomics model based on diffusion-weighted imaging features yielded the highest AUC of 0.889 and ACC of 0.885, followed by CT (AUC = 0.857; ACC = 0.846) and CT enhancement (AUC = 0.833; ACC = 0.769). For the combined features, the radiomics model based on mixed CT features exhibited a better AUC of 0.942 and ACC of 0.880, whereas mixed MRI features achieved a lower performance than the individual scan. The clinical-radiomics nomogram based on combined CT features achieved the highest AUC of 0.948 and ACC of 0.920. Conclusions: The radiomics model based on CT and multiparametricMRI present a certain predictive value in distinguishing SC and SGCT, which can be used for auxiliary diagnosis before operation. The clinical-radiomics nomograms performed better than radiomics nomograms. Advances in knowledge: Clinical-radiomics nomograms based on CT and mpMRI features can be used for preoperative differentiation of SC and SGCT.

Objective To identify the prognostic factors for local recurrence of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) through assessment of the preoperative imaging features of the tumor border. Methods Patients with GCTBs treated with intralesional procedures in the proximal tibia and distal femur were prospectively enrolled and then followed up for at least 2 years. The GCTBs were grouped according to their preoperative imaging features. GCTBs treated with en bloc resection were enrolled for investigation of the pathologic basis of specific imaging features. Differences between rates were evaluated by the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test; independent factors were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Fifty-three patients were enrolled and successfully followed up. Relapse occurred in 22 patients. Patients with a “paintbrush borders” sign (n = 21) had a significantly higher rate of local recurrence (71.43%) than patients without this sign (21.88%). The “paintbrush borders” sign was identified as an independent prognostic factor for local recurrence. Other imaging features were not significantly associated with recurrence. The “paintbrush borders” sign showed a correlation with local invasion of bone. Conclusion The “paintbrush borders” sign on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging is an independent prognostic factor for local recurrence of GCTB.

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is classified as an intermediate malignant tumor due to its locally aggressive behavior, burdened by high local recurrence rate. GCTB accounts for about 4–5% of all primary bone tumors and typically arises in the metaphysis and epiphyses of the long tubular bones. Mutation of gene H3F3A is at the basis of GCTB etiopathogenesis, and its immunohistochemical expression is a valuable method for practical diagnosis, even if new biomarkers have been identified for early diagnosis and for potential tumor recurrence prediction. In the era of computer-aided diagnosis, imaging plays a key role in the assessment of GCTB for surgical planning, patients’ prognosis prediction and post treatment evaluation. Cystic changes, penetrating irregular margins and adjacent soft tissue invasion on preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have been associated with a higher rate of local recurrence. Distance from the tumor edge to the articular surface and thickness of unaffected cortical bone around the tumor should be evaluated on Computed Tomography (CT) as related to local recurrence. Main features associated with local recurrence after curettage are bone resorption around the graft or cement, soft tissue mass formation and expansile destruction of bone. A denosumab positive response is represented by a peripherical well-defined osteosclerosis around the lesion and intralesional ossification. Radiomics has proved to offer a valuable contribution in aiding GCTB pre-operative diagnosis through clinical-radiomics models based on CT scans and multiparametric MR imaging, possibly guiding the choice of a patient-tailored treatment. Moreover, radiomics models based on texture analysis demonstrated to be a promising alternative solution for the assessment of GCTB response to denosumab both on conventional radiography and CT since the quantitative variation of some radiomics features after therapy has been correlated with tumor response, suggesting they might facilitate disease monitoring during post-denosumab surveillance.
