Download or read book Imaging of Bone Tumors and Tumor Like Lesions written by A. Mark Davies and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection and characterization of bone tumors with imaging remains a big challenge for every radiologist notwithstanding the impressive progress achieved by the introduction of several new imaging modalities. Moreover, new concepts in surgical and oncological treatment of these lesions require from the radiologist appropriate and focused answers to the specifc questions asked by the referring physicians in order to choose the best therapeutic approach for the in- vidual patient. Tis comprehensive textbook describes in detail the possibilities and limits of all moda- ties, including MRI, CT, nuclear medicine and interventional radiological procedures, employed for the modern imaging of tumoral and tumor-like lesions of bone. Teir role in the diagnosis, surgical staging, biopsy and assessment of response to therapy is discussed in detail, covering all tumor subtypes as well as their specifc anatomical location.Well selected and technically imp- cable illustrations strongly enhance the didactic value of this work. I am very much indebted and grateful to the three editors: A. Mark Davies, Murali Sundaram and Steven L. J. James, world authorities in musculoskeletal radiology, for their superb scientifc achievement in preparing and editing this wonderful volume as well as for their individual ch- ters. I would also like to thank the large international group of collaborating authors, who are also widely acknowledged for their specifc expertise in the area of bone tumors, for their outstanding contributions.
Download or read book Malignant Bone Tumors written by E. Grundmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bone Tumors - A Challenge for Cooperation E. GRUNDMANN Among the wide variety of human tumors, those of the skeletal system have an exceptional position in several respects. Above all, they are comparatively rare, and that is why reliable diagnostic criteria were compiled only recently, that is during the last three decades. It is only five years since the outlines of an international code of classi fication were traced. The code was applied and discussed critically and with varying results by several international working groups. Cer tain drawbacks are due to the broad and manifold spectrum of histolo gic manifestations in neoplastic bone. Even the best experts in dia gnostic histology would hardly be able to classify more than 85% of all bone tumors after the proposed code system. For quite a long time the osteoclastic giant cells, observed in almost any kind of bone tumor, have so much fascinated the histologist's eye that he was apt to pro claim the diagnosis "brown giant cell tumor" for almost any osteoclas tic tumor regardless of its benignity or malignancy. Nowadays the group of "giant cell tumors" though'restricted, still remains disputed in terms of malignancy and benignity. The problem will certainly not be settled in a definite way without extensive follow-up studies. In this context we may see actual progress in new regional. bone tumor registries being set up after the American example in many countries, among them the German Federal Republic.

This book was released on 2008-12-28 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bone and soft tissue sarcomas represent only about 2% of all malignancies; however, their treatment – with the goal of curing the patient while preserving the functionality of the affected body part – can, unlike other malignancies, only be successful with therapy concepts devised by interdisciplinary teams. This volume provides an extensive up-to-date overview of the specific diagnostics and current treatment standards of these rare entities, presenting the various limb-sparing modalities for patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas with special regard to innovative reconstructive options. The evaluation of quality of life based on validated scores and the individual methods of coping with the illness through creative artistic projects are also acknowledged and integrated in the whole concept.
Download or read book Diagnosis and Management of Primary Bone Tumors written by Won-Jong Bahk and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second in a two-volume set that offers comprehensive guidance on the diagnosis of bone tumors based on a modification of the WHO classification as well as management and follow-up. The emphasis throughout is on an integrated approach to diagnosis that highlights the role of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic correlation in reducing the possibility of diagnostic error. The diagnosis of bone tumors is difficult for a variety of reasons, including the numerous types of the tumors with variable subtypes, the protean radiologic manifestations and the variable pathologic findings case by case and even depending on the phase in each case, the presence of reactive changes to the tumor lesion, and overlapping findings between benign and malignant tumors. In addition, it is often more difficult by surgeon’s inadequate biopsy. The author’s aim is to offer the readers the best possible guidance in negotiating these difficulties. For each tumor types, a wide range of cases are presented, from the common to the very rare. Appearances on the full range of imaging studies are illustrated, including conventional radiographs, bone scans, CT scan, MRI, and even PET/CT scans in malignant cases. Attention is also drawn to the role of long-term follow-up radiographs in ensuring correct diagnosis and management. This book will be an ideal resource for all practitioners and researchers who involved in bone tumor diagnosis and also management. Volume 2 covers osteoclastic giant cell-rich tumors, hematopoietic tumors, notochordal tumors, cysts and cyst-like lesions, vascular and neurogenic tumors, and tumors of other mesenchymal cells.

Download or read book Cytopathology of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors written by Lester J. Layfield and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cytopathology of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors provides the practicing pathologist with a single reference for describing and illustrating the cytologic features of musculoskeletal tumors. Using fine-needle aspiration (FNA), the approach of this work is encyclopedic: both relatively common and relatively rare lesions are depicted. It is expected that Cytopathology of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors will serve to widen the usage of the FNA technique which can: substantially decrease patient morbidity; lessen the complications that arise due to other biopsy techniques; and shorten the time as well as expense required for diagnosis. The chapters on soft tissue lesions are organized by direction of differentiation. Each chapter documents both the common and uncommon lesions within the tissue group. Summaries of clinical findings are given along with the histopathologic and cytologic description. Key diagnostic points (in tabular form) and a discussion of the differential diagnosis complete each section. The section on skeletal lesions is organized along predominant cell type seen in smears. This approach facilitates grouping of lesions into diagnostically useful categories, allowing the pathologist faced with an unfamiliar lesion to rapidly access the portion of the text most useful for differential diagnosis. Within each chapter, the organization is similar to that within the soft tissue chapters. The introduction discusses technical concerns, limitations of the technique, and a diagnostic approach in both tabular and narrative form. Information on grading of soft tissue sarcomas completes the introduction.

Download or read book Tumors of the Sacrum written by Pietro Ruggieri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date overview on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and imaging characteristics of sacral tumors, discusses the available treatment options, and reports the published outcomes. The diagnostic roles of conventional radiology, CT, and MRI are thoroughly described and imaging appearances are compared with the histologic features. The coverage of therapeutic approaches includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, radiosurgery, and surgery (partial or total sacrectomy and spinopelvic reconstruction). Special attention is paid to the specific anatomic constraints that make tumors in this region of the spine more difficult to manage effectively than those in the extremities and the mobile portions of the spine. All components of the sacrum can give rise to benign or malignant tumors, which pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although these tumors are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, good clinical outcomes may be achieved if an aggressive multidisciplinary approach is used. This book will be of value for a range of practitioners; it will assist in prompt diagnosis and help to overcome lack of familiarity with the required treatment strategies.
