Abstract
Cytokines produced in the tumour microenvironment exert an important role in cancer pathogenesis and in the inhibition of disease progression. Cancer of the cartilage is termed metastatic chondrosarcoma; however, the signaling events resulting in mesenchymal cell transformation to sarcoma have yet to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to characterize the cytokine expression profile in the human JJ012 chondrosarcoma cell line, as well as the effect of cytostatic proline-rich polypeptide-1 (PRP-1). Western blot experiments demonstrated that the levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) were upregulated in chondrocytes compared with chondrosarcoma cells. Addition of PRP-1 restored the expression of the tumor suppressors, SOCS3 and ten-eleven-translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 and 2 (TET1/2), in a dose-responsive manner. It is known that methylation of histone H3K9 was eliminated from the promoters of the inflammation-associated genes. PRP-1 inhibited H3K9 demethylase activity with an IC50 (concentration required to give half-maximal inhibition) value of 3.72 µg/ml in the chondrosarcoma cell line. Data obtained from ELISA experiments indicated that the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in chondrosarcoma cells was 86-fold lower compared with that in C28 chondrocytes. In the present study, a 53-fold downregulation of IL-6 expression in co-culture of chondrosarcoma cells and C28 chondrocytes was identified as well. Downregulation of IL-6 expression has been documented in numerous other tumor types, although the reasons for this have not been fully established. In chondrosarcoma, IL-6 manifests itself as an anti-inflammatory agent and, possibly, as an anti-tumorigenic factor. To explore protein-DNA interactions leading to such differences, a gel-shift chemiluminescent assay was performed. Gel shifts were observed for chondrosarcoma and chondrocytes in the lanes that contained nuclear cell extract and oligo-IL-6 DNA. Notably, the DNA-protein complexes in C28 chondrocytes were markedly larger compared with those in chondrosarcoma cells. The mechanisms that underpin such differences, and characterization of the interacting proteins, remain to be fully elucidated.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (benign and malignant) usually arise in the soft tissues and are unusual in bone. Intraosseous peripheral nerve sheath tumors are usually benign and constitute approximately 0.2% of all bone tumors. Intraosseous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are uncommon and usually result from secondary invasion. Only a few cases of primary intraosseous MPNSTs have been reported in published studies, and these were localized mostly in the mandible (approximately 50%) or maxilla, spine, and, occasionally, in the appendicular skeleton. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of primary intraosseous MPNST involving a midtarsal bone (medial cuneiform). The patient was a 62-year-old female who presented with pain and tenderness but without swelling. Imaging revealed nonspecific findings, and the preoperative computed tomography-guided biopsy findings were consistent with MPNST. The patient was treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy, followed by wide local excision and allograft reconstruction. At the final follow-up examination (24 months), the graft had been incorporated without evidence of local recurrence or distant disease. The patient with primary intraosseous MPNST of the medial cuneiform described in the present report presented with nonspecific clinical and radiologic findings. Thus, a high index of suspicion and histopathologic examination, including immunohistochemistry, are necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
The efficacy of biological therapies on intervertebral disc repair was quantitatively studied using a three-dimensional finite element model based on a cell-activity coupled multiphasic mixture theory. In this model, cell metabolism and matrix synthesis and degradation were considered. Three types of biological therapies-increasing the cell density (Case I), increasing the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis rate (Case II), and decreasing the GAG degradation rate (Case III)-to the nucleus pulposus (NP) of each of two degenerated discs [one mildly degenerated (e.g., 80% viable cells in the NP) and one severely degenerated (e.g., 30% viable cells in the NP)] were simulated. Degenerated discs without treatment were also simulated as a control. The cell number needed, nutrition level demanded, time required for the repair, and the long-term outcomes of these therapies were analyzed. For Case I, the repair process was predicted to be dependent on the cell density implanted and the nutrition level at disc boundaries. With sufficient nutrition supply, this method was predicted to be effective for treating both mildly and severely degenerated discs. For Case II, the therapy was predicted to be effective for repairing the mildly degenerated disc, but not for the severely degenerated disc. Similar results were predicted for Case III. No change in cell density for Cases II and III were predicted under normal nutrition level. This study provides a quantitative guide for choosing proper strategies of biological therapies for different degenerated discs.

Abstract
Chordoma is a rare, slow-growing malignant tumor arising from notochordal remnants. A retrospective review of patient records at two major referral centers was undertaken to assess the incidence, location, and prognostic factors of metastatic disease from chordoma. 219 patients with chordoma (1962-2009) were identified. 39 patients (17.8%) developed metastatic disease, most frequently to lung (>50%). Median survival from the time of initial diagnosis was 130.4 months for patients who developed metastatic disease and 159.3 months for those who did not (P = 0.05). Metastatic disease was most common in the youngest patients (P = 0.07), and it was 2.5 times more frequent among patients with local recurrence (26.3%) than in those without (10.8%) (P = 0.003). Patient survival with metastatic disease was highly variable, and it was dependent on both the location of the tumor primary and the site of metastasis. Metastasis to distal bone was the most rapid to develop and had the worst prognosis.

Abstract
Genes and miRNAs involved in sarcomagenesis related pathways are unknown and therefore signaling events leading to mesenchymal cell transformation to sarcoma are poorly elucidated. Exiqon and Illumina microarray study on human chondrosarcoma JJ012 and chondrocytes C28 cell lines to compare and analyze the differentially expressed miRNAs and their gene targets was recently published in the Journal Tumor Biology in 2014. Here we describe in details the contents and quality controls for the miRNA and gene expression data associated with the study that is relevant to this dataset.

Abstract
Metastatic chondrosarcoma of mesenchymal origin is the second most common bone malignancy and does not respond either to chemotherapy or radiation; therefore, the search for new therapies is relevant and urgent. We described recently that tumor growth inhibiting cytostatic proline-rich polypeptide 1, (PRP-1) significantly upregulated tumor suppressor miRNAs, downregulated onco-miRNAs in human chondrosarcoma JJ012 cell line, compared to chondrocytes culture. In this study we hypothesized the existence and regulation of a functional marker in cancer stem cells, correlated to peptides antiproliferative activity. Experimental results indicated that among significantly downregulated miRNA after PRP-1treatment was miRNAs 302c*. This miRNA is a part of the cluster miR302-367, which is stemness regulator in human embryonic stem cells and in certain tumors, but is not expressed in adult hMSCs and normal tissues. PRP-1 had strong inhibitory effect on viability of chondrosarcoma and multilineage induced multipotent adult cells (embryonic primitive cell type). Unlike chondrosarcoma, in glioblastoma, PRP-1 does not have any inhibitory activity on cell proliferation, because in glioblastoma miR-302-367 cluster plays an opposite role, its expression is sufficient to suppress the stemness inducing properties. The observed correlation between the antiproliferative activity of PRP-1 and its action on downregulation of miR302c explains the peptides opposite effects on the upregulation of proliferation of adult mesenchymal stem cells, and the inhibition of the proliferation of human bone giant-cell tumor stromal cells, reported earlier. PRP-1 substantially downregulated the miR302c targets, the stemness markers Nanog, c-Myc and polycomb protein Bmi-1. miR302c expression is induced by JMJD2-mediated H3K9me2 demethylase activity in its promoter region. JMJD2 was reported to be a positive regulator for Nanog. Our experimental results proved that PRP-1 strongly inhibited H3K9 activity comprised of a pool of JMJD1 and JMJD2. We conclude that inhibition of H3K9 activity by PRP-1 leads to downregulation of miR302c and its targets, defining the PRP-1 antiproliferative role.

Abstract
➤ Biopsy, staging, preoperative imaging and planning, as well as surgical treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas, are best carried out in specialized sarcoma centers, with the support of a multidisciplinary tumor board.➤ Tumor bed excision is recommended after most unplanned excisions, with a goal of obtaining complete tumor removal with an appropriately wide margin of resection.➤ The surgical resection area tends to be more extensive during tumor bed excision than during primary resection because of the need to resect potential areas of contamination, resulting in the need for more reconstructive procedures (flaps and skin grafts) and wider radiation fields.➤ Unplanned excisions are associated with an increased rate of local recurrence related to residual disease and positive margins after tumor bed excision, a deep location, and certain histologic subtypes, such as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, myxofibrosarcoma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.➤ While adjuvant radiation therapy has not been found to mitigate the risk of local recurrence in unplanned excisions, it is generally utilized in the treatment of unplanned excisions as it is in the treatment of primary soft-tissue sarcomas.➤ Given the surgical and oncologic sequelae of unplanned excisions, prevention through the diffusion of concepts by means of provider education on how to approach soft-tissue masses, which can be potential soft-tissue sarcomas, is the best strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibroosseous bone tumor that accounts for 5% to 10% of benign bone tumors. It can present as monostotic fibrous dysplasia (70% to 80%), polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (20% to 30%), McCune-Albright syndrome (2% to 3%), or Mazabraud's syndrome in rare cases. Bone lesions in fibrous dysplasia arise in the medullary canal and usually are confined to the bone. Cortical destruction and extension into soft tissue usually indicates malignant transformation or secondary aneurysmal bone cyst formation. Locally aggressive fibrous dysplasia with cortical destruction and extension into soft tissue in the absence of these two possibilities is extremely rare. It is important for the treating physician to distinguish this entity from more aggressive or malignant tumors to avoid overtreating the patient for a benign condition or inattention to a malignant tumor. CASE DESCRIPTIONS We report four unusual cases of fibrous dysplasia with an aggressive radiographic appearance. They occurred in the rib (1), ilium (2), and distal femur (1). Two patients had pain and two had swelling. Radiologically, all were associated with cortical destruction and an associated soft tissue mass, and initially they were interpreted as potentially malignant. Three patients underwent biopsy and one patient did not have a biopsy. Histopathologic analysis by an experienced bone pathologist confirmed fibrous dysplasia in all patients. Two patients were treated surgically; one patient with zoledronic acid and one patient currently is being followed by observation alone. LITERATURE REVIEW There are only a few reports in the literature that describe the locally aggressive variant of fibrous dysplasia that presents with pain and progressive swelling clinically and with cortical destruction and soft tissue extension on imaging which suggest malignancy. We could not find any article that describes the use of bisphosphonates in such lesions or the response to bisphosphonates clinically, on laboratory parameters or imaging. To our knowledge, this is the largest case report published regarding locally aggressive fibrous dysplasia arising outside the craniofacial skeleton. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The locally aggressive variant of fibrous dysplasia may be confused with a malignant tumor or malignant degeneration of fibrous dysplasia. It is important to properly evaluate these lesions to ensure that a proper diagnosis is made, especially with respect to a malignant versus benign mass.

Abstract
Previous classification systems of failure of limb salvage focused primarily on endoprosthetic failures and lacked sufficient depth for the effective study of the causes of failure. In order to address these inadequacies, the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) formed a committee to recommend revisions of the previous systems. The purpose of this study was to report on their recommendations. The modifications were prepared using an earlier, evidence-based model with subclassification based on the existing medical literature. Subclassification for all five primary types of failure of limb salvage following endoprosthetic reconstruction were formulated and a complementary system was derived for the failure of biological reconstruction. An additional classification of failure in paediatric patients was also described. Limb salvage surgery presents a complex array of potential mechanisms of failure, and a complete and precise classification of types of failure is required. Earlier classification systems lacked specificity, and the evidence-based system outlined here is designed to correct these weaknesses and to provide a means of reporting failures of limb salvage in order to allow the interpretation of outcome following reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
Disruption of cell-cell junctions and the concomitant loss of polarity, downregulation of tumor-suppressive adherens junctions and desmosomes represent hallmark phenotypes for several different cancer cells. Moreover, a variety of evidence supports the argument that these two common phenotypes of cancer cells directly contribute to tumorigenesis. In this study, we aimed to determine the status of intercellular junction proteins expression in JJ012 human malignant chondrosarcoma cells and investigate the effect of the antitumorigenic cytokine, proline-rich polypeptide-1 (PRP-1) on their expression. The cell junction pathway array data indicated downregulation of desmosomal proteins, such as desmoglein (1,428-fold), desmoplakin (620-fold) and plakoglobin (442-fold). The tight junction proteins claudin 11 and E-cadherin were also downregulated (399- and 52-fold, respectively). Among the upregulated proteins were the characteristic for tumors gap junction β-5 protein (connexin 31.1) and the pro-inflammatory pathway protein intercellular adhesion molecule (upregulated 129- and 43-fold, respectively). We demonstrated that PRP-1 restored the expression of the abovementioned downregulated in chondrosarcoma desmosomal proteins. PRP-1 inhibited H3K9-specific histone demethylase activity in chondrosarcoma cells in a dose-dependent manner (0.5 µg/ml PRP, 63%; 1 µg/ml PRP, 74%; and 10 µg/ml PRP, 91% inhibition). Members of the H3K9 family were shown to transcriptionally repress tumor suppressor genes and contribute to cancer progression. Our experimental data indicated that PRP-1 restores tumor suppressor desmosomal protein expression in JJ012 human chondrosarcoma cells and inhibits H3K9 demethylase activity, contributing to the suppression of tumorigenic potential in chondrosarcoma cells.

Abstract
General orthopedic surgeons frequently encounter patients with conditions affecting multiple bones. It is important to recognize common polyostotic diseases. This article describes five polyostotic conditions: Multipe Enchondromatosis (Ollier Disease and Maffucci syndrome), Multiple Hereditary Exostosis (Diaphyseal Aclasis), Fibrous Dysplasia (McCune-Albright syndrome and Mazabraud syndrome), Paget's Disease of bone (Osteitis Deformans), and Skeletal Metastases. This is a survey of the clinical, pathologic and radiographic features that assist in diagnosing these conditions. Also, an overview of the laboratory findings, treatment, follow-up, and prognosis is presented. Recognizing these diseases will aid in prompt and accurate diagnosis and appropriate referral and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Core needle biopsies of sarcomas allow a diagnosis in a high percentage of patients with few complications. However, it is unclear whether the tract needs to be excised to prevent recurrences. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore determined the rates of recurrence and metastases in patients with Stage III extremity sarcomas, who underwent wide local resection without excision of the needle tract and also received adjuvant treatment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 59 adult patients with deep, larger than 5 cm, high-grade soft tissue sarcomas of the upper or lower extremity treated between January 1999 and April 2009. All the patients underwent a core needle biopsy. Resection was performed with wide margins. The biopsy tract was not resected during the definitive surgery. Fifty-seven patients (97%) received preoperative and/or postoperative radiation, whereas 49 patients (83%) received chemotherapy. Local recurrence and distant recurrence rates were determined. The minimum followup was 24 months (median, 56 months; range, 24-122 months). RESULTS The local recurrence rate was 9%. Fifteen patients (25%) developed metastasis after diagnosis. Seven of the 59 patients (12%) had microscopic positive margins at resection. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate no increase in local recurrence rates or rates of metastatic disease compared with previously published studies when resection of the core biopsy tract was not performed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Melorheostosis is a rare and poorly understood condition of bone and soft tissue with a wide range of clinical presentations. This condition is typically characterized by cortical hyperostosis and pain in the involved extremity, but can also be associated with soft-tissue masses and limb deformities that may be additional sources of disability for those affected by this disease. Characteristic radiographic findings can aid in establishing an accurate diagnosis and the condition should not be mistaken for more aggressive neoplasms. This chronic condition is typically managed nonoperatively, but more invasive measures may be necessary when nonoperative measures fail. In cases of surgical intervention, physicians and patients should be aware that this disease has a high recurrence rate. Although there are only a few reports of melorheostosis in the foot and ankle, it is important to be aware of the difficulties the condition may cause in this anatomical location. Melorheostosis can be a source of significant morbidity when the foot and ankle are involved, especially when complicated by symptomatic soft-tissue masses. In this article, we report 3 cases of melorheostosis in the foot and ankle with distinct presentations and variations in outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma is the seventh leading cause of cancer deaths. Studies have shown patients with solitary osseous metastases have a better prognosis; however, methods of resection are not well defined. The purpose of this study was to review factors associated with survival and assess the impact of wide versus intralesional management on function and disease-specific outcomes in patients with renal cell carcinoma metastases. METHODS Sixty-nine patients with 86 osseous renal cell metastases were reviewed. Potential factors associated with survival were evaluated with Kaplan-Meier curves. ANOVA was performed to compare means between groups. RESULTS One year survival for the group was 77% and 32.5% at 5 years. The absence of metastatic disease at presentation, nephrectomy, and pre-operative status were associated with improved survival. There was a lower rate of local recurrence with wide resection (5%) versus intralesional procedures (27%). CONCLUSIONS Improved pre-operative status, nephrectomy, and metachronous lesions had better overall survival. Wide resection results in decreased local recurrence and revision surgeries. However, it did not reliably predict improved survival. Our recommendation is for individual evaluation of each patient with osseous renal cell carcinoma metastases. Wide excision may be used for resectable lesions to prevent local progression and subsequent surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive endoprostheses provide orthopaedic oncologists with many reconstructive options after tumor resection, although failure rates are high. Because the number of these procedures is limited, failure of these devices has not been studied or classified adequately. This investigation is a multicenter review of the use of segmental endoprostheses with a focus on the modes, frequency, and timing of failure. METHODS Retrospective reviews of the operative databases of five institutions identified 2174 skeletally mature patients who received a large endoprosthesis for tumor resection. Patients who had failure of the endoprosthesis were identified, and the etiology and timing of failure were noted. Similar failures were tabulated and classified on the basis of the risk of amputation and urgency of treatment. Statistical analysis was performed to identify dependent relationships among mode of failure, anatomic location, and failure timing. A literature review was performed, and similar analyses were done for these data. RESULTS Five hundred and thirty-four failures were identified. Five modes of failure were identified and classified: soft-tissue failures (Type 1), aseptic loosening (Type 2), structural failures (Type 3), infection (Type 4), and tumor progression (Type 5). The most common mode of failure in this series was infection; in the literature, it was aseptic loosening. Statistical dependence was found between anatomic location and mode of failure and between mode of failure and time to failure. Significant differences were found in the incidence of failure mode Types 1, 2, 3, and 4 when polyaxial and uniaxial joints were compared. Significant dependence was also found between failure mode and anatomic location in the literature data. CONCLUSIONS There are five primary modes of endoprosthetic failure, and their relative incidences are significantly different and dependent on anatomic location. Mode of failure and time to failure also show a significant dependence. Because of these relationships, cumulative reporting of segmental failures should be avoided because anatomy-specific trends will be missed. Endoprosthetic design improvements should address failure modes specific to the anatomic location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are soft tissue neoplasms found in intimate association with a peripheral nerve. They are rarely seen in the foot and ankle where they have an innocuous appearance, but these tumors have the potential to become malignant. This study reports a large series of foot and ankle PNSTs surgically treated at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospectively, all cases of PNSTs confirmed by biopsy and surgically treated from 1992 to 2008 were included in the study. Preoperative, perioperative and postoperative variables were collected. Foot and ankle tumors were compared with the overall group of PNSTs. Fisher's test and Student's t-test were implemented to address the significance of the findings (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS From all PNSTs identified (n = 137), there were 14 (10.2%) foot and ankle. A painful mass was the most common presenting symptom. Schwannoma represented the most common histologic type. Two cases of malignant foot and ankle PNSTs were identified. Foot and ankle PNSTs were significantly smaller in size and showed fewer postoperative neurologic deficits than the overall group of PNSTs. No differences were found in terms of histologic type distribution, age at diagnosis, duration of symptoms and postoperative tumor recurrence, but there was a preponderance of females in this series of foot and ankle tumors. CONCLUSION PNSTs of the foot and ankle usually present as innocuous, slow-growing masses leading to misdiagnosis and suboptimal surgical treatment of a potentially malignant lesion. A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, preoperative planning and meticulous surgical excision are required to prevent tumor recurrence and minimize the incidence of postoperative sequelae, thus improving postoperative functional outcomes.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing proximal femoral replacement for tumor resection often have compromised hip abductor muscles resulting in a Trendelenberg limp and hip instability. Commercially available proximal femoral prostheses offer several designs with varying sites of attachment for the abductor muscles, however, no analyses of these configurations have been performed to determine which design provides the longest moment arm for the hip abductor muscles during normal function. Methods This study analyzed hip abductor moment arm through hip adduction and abduction with a trigonometric mathematical model to evaluate the effects of alterations in anatomy and proximal femoral prosthesis design. Prosthesis dimensions were taken from technical schematics that were obtained from the prosthesis manufacturers. Manufacturers who contributed schematics for this investigation were Stryker Orthopaedics and Biomet. Results Superior and lateral displacement of the greater trochanter increased the hip abductor mechanical advantage for single-leg stance and adduction and preserved moment arm in the setting of Trendelenberg gait. Hip joint medialization resulted in less variance of the abductor moment arm through coronal motion. The Stryker GMRS endoprosthesis provided the longest moment arm in single-leg stance. Conclusions Hip abductor moment arm varies substantially throughout the hip's range of motion in the coronal plane. Selection of a proximal femur endoprosthesis with an abductor muscle insertion that is located superiorly and laterally will optimize hip abductor moment arm in single-leg stance compared to one located inferiorly or medially.

A biomechanical comparison of fan-folded, single-looped fascia lata with other graft tissues as a suitable substitute for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Arthroscopy 2010; 26:1641-7. [PMID: 20875723 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2010.03.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2009] [Revised: 03/21/2010] [Accepted: 03/25/2010] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial biomechanical properties of a fan-folded, single-loop construct of fan-folded fascia lata allograft in comparison to other graft tissues currently being used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS Eighteen fascia lata specimens were harvested from 11 donors and fan folded through a proprietary process. Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, and peroneus longus tendons were harvested from 4 additional donors. All soft-tissue grafts were tested to failure in an MTS machine (MTS Systems, Eden Prairie, MN) in a single-looped fashion. BPTB grafts were similarly clamped in freeze grips. The ultimate load to failure and stiffness were calculated for each graft type tested. RESULTS The mean ultimate load to failure was 3,266 N and stiffness was 414 N/mm for the single-looped fascia lata grafts (n = 18). There was no significant difference for ultimate load to failure and stiffness between the fascia lata and tibialis anterior (3,012 N and 342 N/mm, respectively), tibialis posterior (3,666 N and 392 N/mm, respectively), and peroneus longus (3,050 N and 346 N/mm, respectively) tendons. The fascia lata grafts performed significantly better (P < .001) than BPTB (1,404 N and 224 N/mm, respectively). CONCLUSIONS A single-loop construct of fan-folded fascia lata allograft has, on biomechanical testing, initial ultimate tensile strength (3,266 N) and stiffness values equivalent to or better than several other graft tissues currently used in ACL reconstruction, including BPTB (1,403 N), tibialis anterior (3,012 N), tibialis posterior (3,666 N), and peroneus longus (3,050 N). CLINICAL RELEVANCE In the face of potential allograft tissue shortages and increasing constraints on health care expenditures, the use of fascia lata has the potential to be a readily available graft for ACL reconstruction that performs as well as other grafts and at a comparable or lower cost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biopsy is a critical step in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal malignancy. As an alternative to open biopsy, percutaneous core needle biopsy techniques have been developed. As many studies combine office-based, image-guided, and operative biopsies, the accuracy of office-based core needle biopsy is not well documented. QUESTION/PURPOSES We asked whether (1) office-based core needle biopsy for the diagnosis of malignant musculoskeletal neoplasms would have few complications and diagnostic and accuracy rates comparable to those cited in the literature for core needle biopsy, (2) diagnostic errors related to office-based core needle biopsy would result in surgical treatment errors, and (3) tissue core quantity and tumor type would affect accuracy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 234 patients with 252 core needle biopsies of malignant bone and soft tissue neoplasms at one institution between 1999 and 2007. Biopsy accuracy and errors were determined on the basis of histologic evaluation of prior or subsequent biopsies and/or resected specimens, when available. We eliminated 19 patients who had needle biopsies: three had the core needle biopsy completed in the operating room and 16 had insufficient documentation or followup, leaving 233 for study. RESULTS Of the 233 core needle biopsies, 212 (91%) were diagnostic and accurate for malignancy. Fourteen (6%) biopsies were nondiagnostic. Major errors, defined as a benign diagnosis in a malignant tumor, occurred in seven cases (3%). Minor errors, defined as errors in histopathologic diagnosis or grade, occurred in 24 biopsies (10%). All nondiagnostic and major core needle biopsy errors were identified and addressed with either a diagnostic open biopsy or definitive wide local excision, resulting in no surgical treatment errors. Accuracy was not influenced by core number; however, myxoid lesions showed a correlation with biopsy error. There were no biopsy-related complications. CONCLUSIONS Office-based core needle biopsy for diagnosis of malignant musculoskeletal neoplasms has high diagnostic and accuracy rates without associated complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, diagnostic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of the level of evidence.
