Purpose: To describe the development and clinical evaluation of a new, hand-powered or alternatively motor-driven, MRI and CT compatible percutaneous bone biopsy system.
Materials And Methods: A new coaxial drill system (Cook Europe A/S) was designed for percutaneous, MR-guided bone biopsies and powered either by hand or an optional motor (10-250 rotations/minute using 6 bar [88.2 PSI] compressed air). The system has been used in 23 patients. Fourteen procedures were performed in a 1.5 T MR scanner (Philips-Gyroscan ACS-NT) which has an attached C-arm (Philips-BV 212-Angio) in case fluoroscopy is required, and 9 procedures in a CT scanner (Siemens-Somatom Plus).
Results: Driven by hand or by the pneumatic motor unit, the system achieved safe and accurate MR-guided access to all of the lesions and was even able to penetrate osteosclerotic lesions. MR- or CT-guided percutaneous biopsy yielded a correct diagnosis in all but 5 cases. No procedural complications occurred.
Conclusion: MR-guided percutaneous bone biopsy performed with the new coaxial drill system was found to be safe and reliable, and suitable for obtaining histological specimens from skeletal lesions even when covered with thick cortical or sclerotic bone.

Introduction: Osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive bone cancer primarily affecting children and young adults, remains a significant challenge in clinical oncology. Metastasis stands as the primary cause of mortality in osteosarcoma patients. However, the mechanisms driving this process remain incompletely understood.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an unusual, non-malignant proliferative disorder involving non-Langerhans cell histiocytes, characterized by a wide range of clinical presentations and distinctive atypical morphological patterns. The concurrent manifestation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) alongside RDD is exceptionally rare. Here, we present the case of a 14-year-old male patient diagnosed with ALL who, during the consolidation phase of chemotherapy, developed multifocal bone, dural, and liver lesions, as confirmed through CT and MRI imaging.

Introduction: CD20+ T-cells were described firstly in peripheral blood and later in bone marrow in patients with hematological tumors, and certain immune-mediated diseases. During our hematological diagnostic work, this peculiar subgroup of lymphocytes has been consistently observed associated with untreated monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and myeloma (MM). Despite the expanding literature data, the exact function of CD20+ T cells remains unclear.

Nonunion fractures present a significant clinical challenge because of their complex microenvironment, which includes poor vascularization, insufficient osteogenesis, infection, and separation of fracture ends. The current clinical treatments have certain limitations. Inspired by this phenomenon, sandcastle worms secrete adhesive proteins that bind sand grains, shell fragments, and mineral particles, thereby constructing their "castles.
