Background/aim: Scapular osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy, and the understanding of its optimal treatment strategies and long-term outcomes remains limited. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate our institutional experience.
Patients And Methods: We reviewed 14 patients (8 females, 5 males; mean age 44±17 years) treated for scapular osteosarcoma from 1985 to 2022. Tumors were confirmed histologically and treated with a multidisciplinary approach, including chemotherapy and surgery with a median follow-up of 10 years.
Results: Surgical complications occurred in eight patients, leading to repeat procedures in four. Complications were associated with the use of implants or allografts (p<0.01). Mean shoulder forward elevation and external rotation at follow-up were 42±61° and 12±16°, with a mean MSTS93 score of 61±19%. The 10-year disease-specific survival rates was 76%. Local recurrence was associated with worse survival (HR=13.19, p=0.04).
Conclusion: Scapular osteosarcoma is rare, and with multidisciplinary management, local control is essential to patient survival.

Background: Osteosarcoma of the scapula is extremely rare. Hence, there is no consensus regarding its optimal management. In this study, we report the demographics, characteristic features, and outcomes of scapulectomy with or without scapular allograft reconstruction in a series of patients with primary scapular osteosarcoma.

Case Summary: A 10-year-old neutered female domestic shorthair cat was presented for acute lameness of the right forelimb after a pathological fracture caused by scapular osteosarcoma. Total scapulectomy was performed, including the glenoid, and the humerus was sutured to the second rib via a bone tunnel in the humeral head. Two months postoperatively, the cat showed mild lameness without any other impairment or signs of pain.

Background/aim: Ewing sarcoma is a common primary bone tumor, often located in the distal femur or pelvis. Although the scapula is a flat bone similar to the pelvis, scapular Ewing sarcoma is rare. The aim of this study was to review our institution's experience with the management of scapular Ewing sarcomas.
