Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1991, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Five cases of osteosarcomas that were located at the spinal column were evaluated retrospectively. Three of the lesions were primary and two were secondary. Three patients were females and two were males, average pa-tient age at the time of diagnosis was 23.6 years. Four of the tumors were located at the lumber region and one at the thoracal region. Ali five of the tumors were high grade lesions, and their surgicai stages were one stage HA, two stage IIB and two were stage III lesions. Ali patients were followed after death. Two patients died at the third month after the diagnosis, one died at the ninth month, one at the twelfth month and one at sixteenth month after diagnosis. Two patients were Frankel grade C, Two were grade B and one patient was grade A at the time of death. İt was concluded that the prospects of long term survivai for spinal osteosarcoma were actually non-existent if not treat adeguately and more radical surgery including spondylectomies are justified.
