Osteosarcoma: Case Report

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most commonly occuring malign tumour in the under 20 age group and the frequency reaches a peak in adolescence. Treatment is by surgery and chemotherapy. Following preoperative chemotherapy, a biocompatible metal prosthesis is generally used in the site of the excised tumour. Sometimes bone grafts or autografts, by external high dosage radiation or autoclavisation or pasteurisation, can be recycled. This paper presents the case of a 24 year old male patient. The initial complaint was of pain in the right thigh and following the biopsy of a mass which had formed, the patient was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The patient received preoperative chemotherapy then the femur was totally resected and the tumour tissue in the diaphysis was roughly cleaned mechanically then pasteurisation was applied and the replacement part was fixed with intramedullar nailing. To achieve union, a pedicled vascularized elevated graft was used on the proximal and distal osteotomy lines. By the third postoperative year no local or systemic recurrence had been observed. This case is presented as an exception to the routine treatment of osteosarcoma with the use of pasteurisation with resected autograft without there being any need for amputation or tumour prosthesis.
