    Title translation Synovial sarcoma - a rare and highly malignant, tumor with an ambiguous clinical picture at times.
    Abstract A characteristic feature of soft tissue sarcomas is the absence of alarm symptoms such as pain or abnormal laboratory findings. We present two patients where the diagnostic difficulties delayed the definitive diagnosis, in one case with lethal outcome. The two patients highlight the difficulties a clinician may encounter with this particular disease. Even though synovial sarcoma represents around 0,1 % of all cancer forms, we recommend a high degree of awareness and - when in doubt - prompt contact with a Sarcoma center for consultation.

    Abstract Background: Preoperative radiotherapy is often used to facilitate excision of soft-tissue sarcomas. We aimed define factors that affect local tumour control and patient survival.
    Methods: A single institution registry study of 89 patients with non-metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas having preoperative radiotherapy between 1994 and 2014. Radiologic (presence of peritumoural oedema and volume change following radiotherapy) and histopathologic (tumour volume, grade and surgical margin) parameters were recorded. Outcomes were the events of local recurrence, amputation, metastasis and death.
    Results: Local recurrence rate was low (12%) and marginal excision gave equal local control to wide excision. Pelvic localization was associated with a higher risk for amputation. The absence of peritumoural oedema on MRI defined a subgroup of tumours with more favourable oncologic outcome. Reduction of tumour volume following radiotherapy was also associated with better patient survival. Both these radiologic parameters were associated with lower tumour grade. Tumour necrosis was not significant for patient survival. The local complication rate, mainly wound healing problems and infection, was high (40%), but did not lead to any amputation.
    Conclusion: Preoperative radiotherapy of high-risk soft-tissue sarcomas allows for good local control rate at the expense of local wound complications, which are however manageable. Marginal excision is sufficient for local control. Absence of peritumoural oedema on MRI, as well as tumour size reduction following radiotherapy are associated to superior patient survival and can be used ass early prognostic factors.

    Abstract Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign bone tumors that usually present in childhood and early adulthood. They usually manifest as expansile osteolytic lesions with a varying potential to be locally aggressive. Since their first description in 1942, a variety of treatment methods has been proposed. Traditionally, these tumors were treated with open surgery. Either intralesional surgical procedures or en bloc excisions have been described. Furthermore, a variety of chemical or physical adjuvants has been utilized in order to reduce the risk for local recurrence after excision. Currently, there is a shift to more minimally invasive procedures in order to avoid the complications of open surgical excision. Good results have been reported during percutaneous surgery, or the use of embolization. Recently, sclerotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment, showing effective consolidation of the lesions and functional results that appear to be superior to the ones of open surgery. Lastly, non-invasive treatment, such as pharmaceutical intervention with denosumab or bisphosphonates has been reported to be effective in the management of the disease. Radiotherapy has also been shown to confer good local control, either alone or in conjunction to other treatment modalities, but is associated with serious adverse effects. Here, we review the current literature on the methods of treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts. The indication for each type of treatment along reported outcome of the intervention, as well as potential complications are systematically presented. Our review aims to increase awareness of the different treatment modalities and facilitate decision-making regarding each individual patient.

    Abstract Hydatid disease of the bone is a very rare manifestation of the disease, and is often associated with debilitating symptoms. We present a rare case of skeletal hydatidosis in a 56-year-old man who had been misdiagnosed for many years. Massive involvement of the pelvic bones and soft tissues was evident. An extended hemipelvectomy was performed in order to achieve resection of the affected segments with a clear surgical margin. The patient recovered uneventfully and there are no signs of recurrence of the disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign tumours that usually present in childhood. Aggressive forms have been described, which are often treated with surgery that entails major resection and reconstruction. Polidocanol sclerotherapy has recently been reported to have excellent results and promises to replace operative treatments, but its efficacy in the case of aggressive aneurysmal bone cysts has not been documented.
    Case presentation: An 18-year-old woman from Sweden presented with pain in her shoulder and a rapidly progressing cystic bone lesion. The differential diagnosis was a rare, aggressive form of aneurysmal bone cyst or a sarcoma of the proximal humerus. She was successfully treated using sequential percutaneous injections of polidocanol after exclusion of malignancy.
    Conclusions: Management of aggressive aneurysmal bone cysts has thus far relied on open surgery. We propose that non-operative treatment with polidocanol is efficient even in the aggressive form of the aneurysmal bone cyst.

    Abstract TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. This gene shows not only loss-of-function mutations but also recurrent missense mutations with gain-of-function activity. We have studied the primary bone malignancy osteosarcoma, which harbours one of the most rearranged genomes of all cancers. This is odd since it primarily affects children and adolescents who have not lived the long life thought necessary to accumulate massive numbers of mutations. In osteosarcoma, TP53 is often disrupted by structural variants. Here, we show through combined whole-genome and transcriptome analyses of 148 osteosarcomas that TP53 structural variants commonly result in loss of coding parts of the gene while simultaneously preserving and relocating the promoter region. The transferred TP53 promoter region is fused to genes previously implicated in cancer development. Paradoxically, these erroneously upregulated genes are significantly associated with the TP53 signalling pathway itself. This suggests that while the classical tumour suppressor activities of TP53 are lost, certain parts of the TP53 signalling pathway that are necessary for cancer cell survival and proliferation are retained. In line with this, our data suggest that transposition of the TP53 promoter is an early event that allows for a new normal state of genome-wide rearrangements in osteosarcoma. © 2023 The Authors.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Metastases engaging the acetabulum result in significant disability. We investigated the outcome after curettage and reconstruction of the defect with a protrusio cage, retrograde screws, and a cemented total hip arthroplasty.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively identified 70 consecutive patients who were surgically treated for metastatic disease of the acetabulum between 1995 and 2012 using the above technique. The type of primary tumor, extent of the disease, degree of acetabular erosion, and type of implant used were identified. Patient and implant survival, complications, and functional outcome were recorded.
    Results: There were no mortalities in the perioperative period (30 days after surgery). Median overall patient survival was 12 months. Prosthesis survival was 92% at 1 year and 89% at 5 years. One third of the patients suffered a complication, the most frequent one being dislocation. The functional outcome was good. Multiple skeletal or visceral metastases and specific types of cancer were associated with poor patient survival.
    Interpretation: Reconstruction of metastatic acetabular defects using a protrusio cage stabilized with retrograde screws and a cemented total hip arthroplasty is a safe procedure that provides efficient relief of symptoms. Patients with extensive disease, especially when diagnosed with specific types of cancer, have a very poor prognosis. The complication rate is substantial, the most frequent being dislocation. However, revision surgery is seldom required and prosthesis survival is high.

    Abstract Purpose. Penile cancer rarely gives symptomatic skeletal metastases. Methods. We present 2 patients with squamous carcinoma of the penis who were surgically treated for metastases in the femur. Results. Both patients had pathological fractures and were operated on. In one case, the skeletal metastasis preceded any lymphatic spread of the disease, suggesting early haematogenous dissemination. Conclusions. Endoprosthetic reconstruction resulted in pain relief and restored the ambulatory capacity. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility for symptomatic bone metastases with a risk for pathological fracture in patients with penile cancer.
