Therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with curettage to treat distal femoral osteosarcoma: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2017 November
RATIONALE: Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Metastasis occurs early, the mortality rate is high, and the tumor results in a tremendous physical, mental, and economic burden on patients. Therefore, the treatment of osteosarcoma has been important for orthopedic surgeons. However, treatment has always been a difficult problem globally.
PATIENT CONCERN: We present the case of a 22-year-old girl with increasing local pain in the distal left thigh.
DIAGNOSES: The patient was initially diagnosed as bone cancer according to computed tomography (CT) and X-ray imaging. And the patient was further diagnosed as osteosarcoma via to puncture biopsy of the left distal femur.
INTERVENTIONS: Local arterial infusion chemotherapy, systemic intravenous chemotherapy, and curettage was conducted because of limb salvage program.
OUTCOMES: The patient was doing well with no evidence of local or distant recurrence 7 years after the surgery.
LESSONS: Our case indicated that limb osteosarcoma patients can undergo a limb salvage program of local arterial infusion chemotherapy, systemic intravenous chemotherapy, and curettage.
