Skeletal involvement in childhood nonosseous tumors can be due to primary involvement, arrosion or metastasis, secondary due to therapy induced alterations or osteomyelitis following diminished immunity. The occurence of bone changes differs widely from those in adults. Neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and malignant lymphoma are discussed in detail. Rare tumors are listed for synopsis. As diagnostic screening method skeletal scintigraphy is recommended, whereas in localized disease X-rays should be performed. Beside roentgenmorphology-particularly in primary disease-localisation, frequency and age dependency may give essential diagnostic hints. Prognosis depends on primary tumor.

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumours with lipomatous and cartilaginous differentiation: A diagnostic pitfall.
Histopathology
December 2024
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Aims: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm predominantly affecting adults characterised by a multinodular growth pattern and the presence of a fibrous pseudocapsule with areas of ossification. Prompted by the recognition of a non-ossifying ossifying fibromyxoid tumour with lipomatous differentiation which caused diagnostic difficulty, we sought to further explore cases of ossifying fibromyxoid tumour with non-osseous heterologous elements.
Methods And Results: A search of our institutional and consultation archives revealed three additional cases that demonstrated lipomatous components and two cases with cartilaginous differentiation.
Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of osteosarcoma in dogs.

Malignant osteoblasts can have markedly pleomorphic phenotypes and variable amounts of tumour-associated matrix, complicating the ability of pathologists to accurately differentiate osteosarcoma (OSA) from other types of neoplasms using only histopathology. Current immunohistochemical markers for animals have limited sensitivity and specificity in identifying OSA or produce inconsistent results. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) has been used in human medicine to aid in identification of normal and neoplastic osteoblasts, and the objective of this study was to determine whether this marker could also be useful for the diagnosis of canine OSA.

68 Ga-labeled DOTA-ibandronic acid ( 68 Ga-DOTA-IBA) is a novel PET agent developed for bone tumors. In addition, 68 Ga-DOTA-IBA uptake in nonosseous findings has also been reported. Herein, we present a case of 68 Ga-DOTA-IBA uptake in primary prostate adenocarcinoma.

The clinical success of [Ra]RaCl (Xofigo®) for the palliative treatment of bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer has highlighted the therapeutic potential of α-particle emission. Expanding the applicability of radium-223 in Targeted Alpha Therapy of non-osseous tumors is followed up with significant interest, as it holds the potential to unveil novel treatment options in the comprehensive management of cancer. Moreover, the use of barium radionuclides, like barium-131 and -135m, is still unfamiliar in nuclear medicine applications, although they can be considered as radium-223 surrogates for imaging purposes.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the factors most associated with early and late complications following microvascular free tissue transfer (MVFTT) after mandibulectomy.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing MVFTT after segmental mandibulectomy from September 2016 to February 2021 was performed across a single academic institution. Surgical variables were collected, including the location of the resultant mandibular defect (anterior vs posterior) and flap type (osseous or non-osseous).
