Introduction

We analyzed the results of extracorporeal radiated (ECRT) autogenous tumour bone for reconstruction of diaphyseal defects after tumour resection at our institute.

Methods

Sixteen diaphyseal bone tumours operated between March 2006 to March 2008 were reconstructed with ECRT bone after appropriate oncologic resection. These included 10 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, 5 of Osteosarcoma and 1 Adamantinoma. Nine involved femur, 5 tibia and 2 humerus. Suitable internal stabilisation (14 cases plate fixation, 2 intramedullary nails) was used after re-implanting ECRT bone. Average resection length was 18.9 cm (range, 11 to 30 cm).

Background

Bone lesions in Ewing's sarcoma (ES/PNET) have been traditionally diagnosed with bone Scan. PET-scan is emerging as a promising investigative modality for detection of metastatic lesions. In this prospective study, we compare the utility of both to detect the metastatic sites.

Methods

One hundred and seventy five histologically proven cases of ESPNET from 2004-2009 were prospectively staged with bone scan and PET-scan with Breath- hold CT scan- thorax. The diagnostic value of PET-scan to pick up metastatic lesions was compared with bone scan.
