Objective- To assess osteosarcoma epidemiology in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital. Material and Methods- This study is a retrospective descriptive study with a crosssectional approach. Patient with musculoskeletal tumour (especially osteosarcoma) in Haji Adam Malik Hospital from January 2012 to Desember 2017 period, got their age, gender, musculoskeletal tumour type, biopsy result, tumour sites, treatment completion, metastasis and amputation status recorded from their medical record. Result-Primary bone tumors is the most cases and found in 50% of musculoskeletal tumors followed by soft tissue tumors and metastatic bone disease. Male (60%) have slightly higher prevalence than female in (40%). The incidence of primary bone tumors shows osteosarcoma, GCT, and osteochondroma are in the top three with 63%, 13%, and 6% respectively. Specifically for osteosarcoma, male and female have 1.9 : 1 prevalence ratio. The most common sites for osteosarcoma is distal the femur (45%) and proximal tibia (29%). About 63% of patients undergo complete treatment and with 55% recorded with metastasis in the first diagnosis and amputation was performed in 89% of patients. Conclusion- Primary bone tumors dominate the data with 50% for musculoskeletal tumors followed by 31% soft tissue tumors and 19% metastatic bone disease. The incidence of musculoskeletal tumors shows that men are slightly higher than women in 60% and 40%. The incidence of primary bone tumors shows osteosarcoma, giant cell tumor, and osteochondroma are in the top three with 63%, 13%, and 6% respectively.

Olecranon Bursitis

Elbow is a well-known body part of muscular strains and overuse syndromes. Patients presented to the orthopedic department with elbow pain or swelling often diagnosed with benign conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or olecranon bursitis. It must be kept in mind that several tumoral conditions can be seen around the elbow and the patient must be carefully evaluated. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate rare cases of bone or soft tissue tumors around the elbow. Between 2004 and 2017, patients with a symptom of elbow pain or swelling are included in the study. Finally, the study consists of 53 patients. 20 patients were male and 33 were female. The mean age of the patients was 42.94 ± 15.3. There were 9 bone tumors, 16 soft tissue tumors, 9 non-classified benign cystic lesions, 3 metastasis, and 16 cases were non-tumoral conditions. 7 of 9 bone tumors were benign. The solitary bone cyst was the most common bone tumor seen around the elbow. 2 malignant bone tumor cases were diagnosed as Ewing Sarcoma and metastatic bone disease. Among the 16 soft tissue tumors, schwannomas are the most presented cases in the tumor council followed by lipoma (6 cases). Even in a multidisciplinary bone and soft tissue tumor council, almost one-third of the elbow pain patients were non-tumoral and the most commonly seen condition was myositis ossificans (6 cases), followed by infection or bursitis (5 cases). Elbow pain is commonly seen and evaluated by every orthopedic surgeon on outpatient’s clinic. It must be kept in mind that tumoral conditions around the elbow are rarely seen but deserve further examination in the presence of chronic pain.

There are presented the main principles and possibilities of simultaneous chemoradiotherapy, including intra-tumoral administration of antitumor drugs in combination with irradiation of primary bone tumors with soft tissue components, metastatic damage of bones, soft tissue tumors as well as superficial tumors and metastases. On the example of 23 patients the high efficiency of synchronous combined therapy is showed. The possibility of using low total doses of ionizing radiation in order to significantly increase the local cytotoxicity of antitumor drugs directly in the tumor focus is substantiated. The proposed variant of synchronous combined therapy makes it possible to obtain a pronounced local effect with minimal systemic toxicity.

Background: Solid tumors are most common cause of death in the first fifteen years. In developed countries cancer is the leading cause of death from disease in children more than six month of age. The aim of this study was to assess: the relative frequency of the childhood tumor, the distribution of solid tumors of childhood in relation to age, sex of the patient, and histological types of the tumors over period (1992 -2015).Methods: Two thousand four hundreds and three cases of solid tumors of infancy and childhood has been studiedfor period from (1992-2015), 170 was a prospective cases where 2233 cases a retrospective. The study was carried out through histopathological examination of biopsies of patients attending major medical centres in Baghdad, Iraq.Results: Malignant neoplasms in descending order of frequency were, lymphoma (29.5%), central nervous system tumors (24.5%), soft tissue tumors (9.4%), Neuroblastoma (9.1%), wilms’ tumors, (7.4%), Bone tumors, (7.3%), Retinoblastoma (5.1%), Germ cell tumors, (3.5%), Liver tumors (0.2%), others (4.6). Males were more frequently affected with central nervous tumors (59.6%), Malignant lymphoma (69.5%), neuroblastoma (62%), Soft tissue tumors (60.3%), nephroblastoma (51.5%), retinoblastma (58.8%), liver tumor 81 and other miscellaneous tumors (59.6%) while females were more frequently effected with germ cell tumors 70.5% and bone tumors (53.9%). Central nervous system tumors reach a peak between (5-9) years whereas neuroblastoma, nephroblastoma, retinoblastoma germ cell tumors, liver tumors reach a peak between (0-4) years and malignant lymphoma, bone tumors and other – Miscellaneous – tumors reach a peak between (10-15 )years. Non Hodgkins lymphoma were the predominating lymphoma (62%), astrocytoma formed the majority of central nervous system tumors (44.6%) While rhabdomyosarcoma was the commonest histologic subtype of soft tissue tumors (76%) Ewing’s sarcoma was the commonest type of bone tumors (56%).Conclusions: A steady increase in the incidence rate of childhood tumors is noticed with a change in pattern from malignant lymphoma to CNS. tumors in the study period. A diagnostically important relationship exists between a particular type of pediatric tumors with age, sex and site.

Pictorial Essay

Abstract Snapping scapula syndrome manifests as an audible or palpable crackling during the sliding movements of the scapula over the rib cage, often perceived during physical or professional activities. It can be caused by morphological alteration of the scapula and rib cage, by an imbalance in periscapular musculature forces (dyskinesia), or by neoplasia (bone tumors or soft tissue tumors). In this pictorial essay, we review the main causes of snapping scapula syndrome, exemplified by a collection of didactic cases.

Xeroradiography was used for the study of 233 cases of bone and soft tissue tumors, both benign and malignant, 177 of which were histologically proven. In 150 cases, comparative x-ray films were also available. In bone tumors, xeroradiography was more effective than film radiography in 33 cases (44%), less effective in 16 cases (22%) and the 2 techniques were substantially equivalent in 25 cases (34%). In soft tissue tumors, xeroradiography was more effective than film radiography in 59 cases (78%), less effective in 2 cases (3%) and equivalent in 15 cases (19%). Xeroradiography is held to be a useful second-line technique in selected bone tumors, in particular for the study of trabecular structure, periosteal calcifications and cortical bone. In the field of soft tissue tumors, xeroradiography can be a promising first-choice examination in the presence of a mass or when a recurrence is suspected. The advantages and drawbacks of this technique in both types of tumors are reviewed and discussed.
