The aim of this study was to report the patterns of symptoms and insufficiency fractures in patients with tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO) to allow the early diagnosis of this rare condition. The study included 33 patients with TIO who were treated between January 2000 and June 2022. The causative tumour was detected in all patients. We investigated the symptoms and evaluated the radiological patterns of insufficiency fractures of the rib, spine, and limbs.Aims
Methods
Intra-articular 90Yttrium (90Y) is an adjunct
to surgical treatment by synovectomy for patients with diffuse-type tenosynovial
giant-cell tumour (dtTGCT) of the knee, with variable success rates.
Clinical information is, however, sparse and its value remains unclear.
We investigated the long-term outcome of patients who underwent synovectomy
with and without adjuvant treatment with 90Yttrium. All patients with dtTGCT of the knee who underwent synovectomy
between 1991 and 2014 were included in the study. Group A patients
underwent synovectomy and an intra-articular injection of 90Yttrium
between six and eight weeks after surgery. Group B patients underwent
surgery alone.Aims
