Abstract
Low-grade osteosarcomas comprise a distinct subset of osteosarcomas. They may occasionally dedifferentiate into high-grade tumors, typically in the form of high-grade osteosarcoma, which are histologically indistinguishable from conventional osteosarcomas. MDM2 and CDK4 are often amplified in low-grade osteosarcomas and their dedifferentiated counterparts, and the encoded proteins are accordingly overexpressed. As MDM2/CDK4 expression was reportedly rare in conventional osteosarcoma, we hypothesized that these markers may help separate dedifferentiated osteosarcoma from the conventional type. To test this, we performed MDM2 and CDK4 immunohistochemistry on 81 primary and 26 recurrent/metastatic high-grade osteosarcomas and correlated these data with the histology of the primary resection material, with particular attention to the potential presence of any coexisting low-grade osteosarcomatous components. MDM2 and CDK4 coexpression was identified in 7 cases, and on careful histologic review 6 of them were discovered to contain foci of coexisting low-grade elements. One case was a known dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma, and the remaining 5 cases were newly identified dedifferentiated osteosarcomas in which the limited low-grade components were originally unrecognized. An additional 11 cases expressed either marker alone, whereas the remaining 89 cases were negative for both markers; no resection material from these 100 cases presented with a low-grade component. MDM2/CDK4 gene amplification status, determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in selected cases, was largely concordant with immunoexpression. Our data suggest that MDM2 and CDK4 coexpression in high-grade osteosarcomas is sensitive and specific to those that progressed from low-grade osteosarcomas, and immunohistochemistry may help identify this dedifferentiated subgroup to facilitate accurate subclassification.

Abstract
AIMS To clinicopathologically characterize the dedifferentiated variant of leiomyosarcoma in a series of 18 cases. METHODS AND RESULTS Dedifferentiated leiomyosarcoma was defined as showing features of low-grade leiomyosarcoma associated with a discrete undifferentiated component lacking morphological or immunophenotypic features of myogenic differentiation. Tumours developed in 11 women and seven men, with an age range of 16-84 years (median, 64 years). Sites were retroperitoneum (eight cases), limbs (four), trunk (two) uterus (two), and paratesticular and prostate (one each). In 17 cases, dedifferentiation occurred de novo in the primary tumour. Tumour size ranged from 50 to 280 mm (median: 120 mm). Histologically, most showed discrete transition from well-differentiated smooth muscle morphology to high-grade pleomorphic morphology with no smooth muscle differentiation. Unusual features in the dedifferentiated component (epithelioid and rhabdomyoblast-like morphology) were present in three cases. Heterologous osseous or chondro-osseous elements were present in two cases. Dedifferentiated areas were negative for myogenic markers in all cases. Follow-up for 13 cases (median, 36 months) showed local recurrence in 38% (5/13). So far, three patients have died of disease (median survival, 8 months), and metastasis developed in five of 13 cases. CONCLUSIONS Dedifferentiated leiomyosarcoma has morphological parallels with other types of dedifferentiated sarcoma, and is clinically aggressive.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of bone-forming tumors, including correct subclassification of osteogenic sarcoma is critical for determination of appropriate clinical management and prediction of patient outcome. The morphologic spectrum of osteogenic sarcoma is extensive, however, and its histologic mimics are numerous. This review focuses on the major differential diagnoses of the specific subtypes of osteosarcoma, presents summaries of various diagnoses, and provides tips to overcoming pitfalls in diagnosis.

Abstract
This article describes the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of tumors and tumorlike lesions affecting the bones of the head and neck region. Emphasis is placed on common bone lesions affecting the craniofacial skeleton, particularly those that occur with more frequency or those that are unique to this part of the skeleton. Several of these lesions pose a diagnostic challenge to the pathologist. To ensure that a correct diagnosis is rendered, it is of utmost importance that accurate and detailed clinical and radiographic information is available.

Abstract
Low-grade osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy that may be subdivided into two main subgroups on the basis of location in relation to the bone cortex, that is, parosteal osteosarcoma and low-grade central osteosarcoma. Their histological appearance is quite similar and characterized by spindle cell stroma with low-to-moderate cellularity and well-differentiated anastomosing bone trabeculae. Low-grade osteosarcomas have a simple genetic profile with supernumerary ring chromosomes comprising amplification of chromosome 12q13-15, including the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and murine double-minute type 2 (MDM2) gene region. Low-grade osteosarcoma can be confused with fibrous and fibro-osseous lesions such as fibromatosis and fibrous dysplasia on radiological and histological findings. We investigated MDM2-CDK4 immunohistochemical expression in a series of 72 low-grade osteosarcomas and 107 fibrous or fibro-osseous lesions of the bone or paraosseous soft tissue. The MDM2-CDK4 amplification status of low-grade osteosarcoma was also evaluated by comparative genomic hybridization array in 18 cases, and the MDM2 amplification status was evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization or quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in 31 cases of benign fibrous and fibro-osseous lesions. MDM2-CDK4 immunostaining and MDM2 amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization or quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were investigated in a control group of 23 cases of primary high-grade bone sarcoma, including 20 conventional high-grade osteosarcomas, two pleomorphic spindle cell sarcomas/malignant fibrous histiocytomas and one leiomyosarcoma. The results showed that MDM2 and/or CDK4 immunoreactivity was present in 89% of low-grade osteosarcoma specimens. All benign fibrous and fibro-osseous lesions and the tumors of the control group were negative for MDM2 and CDK4. These results were consistent with the MDM2 and CDK4 amplification results. In conclusion, immunohistochemical expression of MDM2 and CDK4 is specific and provides sensitive markers for the diagnosis of low-grade osteosarcomas, helping to differentiate them from benign fibrous and fibro-osseous lesions, particularly in cases with atypical radio-clinical presentation and/or limited biopsy samples.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant tumor of bone that produces osteoid matrix. According to the World Health Organization, OS of bone is classified into eight subtypes with distinct biologic behaviors and clinical outcomes: conventional, telangiectatic, small cell, low-grade central, secondary, parosteal, periosteal, and high-grade surface. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of each subtype of OS and ultimately in patients' survival because the diagnosis is based on a combination of histopathologic and imaging features. Conventional OS is the most common subtype of OS and is readily identified at radiography as an intramedullary mass with immature cloudlike bone formation in the metaphyses of long bones. The imaging features of less common subtypes of primary OS are variable and frequently overlap with those of multiple benign and malignant entities, creating substantial diagnostic challenges. For accurate diagnosis, it is important to be aware of radiographic and cross-sectional imaging features that allow differentiation of each nonconventional subtype of OS from its mimics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Due to its good prognosis despite local recurrence, more and less invasive methods for surgical treatment of parosteal osteosarcoma (POS) have been described. Aim of this retrospective single-center study was to investigate differences in outcome after biological and prosthetic reconstruction. METHODS A total of 28 patients with POS, 14 females, 14 males, mean age of 27 years (median, 24 years; range 15-59 years), mean follow-up of 130 months (median, 104 months; range, 9-383 months), underwent wide tumor resection and prosthetic reconstruction (12 patients, 42.9%), less extensive resection and biological reconstruction (11 patients, 39.3%), rotationplasty (three patients, 10.7%), or amputation (two patients, 7.1%). RESULTS There were two cases of local recurrence in patients with biological reconstruction and three cases of pulmonary metastases, leading to death of disease in two. Ten-year disease-specific survival was 91.1%. There was no significant difference between prosthetic and biological reconstruction in terms of local recurrence, metastasis, or functional outcome (mean MSTS Score, 85%). There were significantly more revisions in prosthetic reconstructions. CONCLUSIONS Given that the resection of the tumor has clear margins, both prosthetic and biological reconstruction show similar results; prostheses allow better local tumor control, however, require more revisions over time.

Abstract
CONTEXT Primary malignancy in giant cell tumor (PMGCT) is rare. It is defined as a high-grade sarcoma originating in a giant cell tumor (GCT) and seems to behave less aggressively than its secondary counterpart does. CASE REPORT This report presents the case of a 39-year-old female with pain in her left shoulder for one month. Radiography showed a pathological fracture of the proximal humerus associated with an osteolytic lesion. Histopathological analysis showed typical areas of GCT juxtaposed with a sarcomatous component. CONCLUSIONS PMGCT seems to behave less aggressively than secondary malignancy in GCT, and it may simulate its more common benign counterpart clinically and radiographically. However, it requires a more aggressive type of treatment.

Parosteal osteosarcoma dedifferentiating into telangiectatic osteosarcoma: importance of lytic changes and fluid cavities at imaging. Skeletal Radiol 2009; 38:685-90.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to assess the imaging findings in cases of parosteal osteosarcoma dedifferentiated into telangiectatic osteosarcoma. Parosteal osteosarcoma is a low-grade well-differentiated malignant tumor. Dedifferentiation into a more aggressive lesion is frequent and usually visible on imaging as a central lytic area in a sclerotic mass. Only one case of differentiation into a telangiectatic osteosarcoma has been reported. As it has practical consequences, with a need for aggressive chemotherapy, we looked for this rather typical imaging pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS Review of 199 cases of surface osteosarcomas (including 86 parosteal, of which 23 were dedifferentiated) revealed lesions suggesting a possible telangiectatic osteosarcoma on imaging examinations in five cases (cavities with fluid). Histology confirmed three cases (the two other only had hematoma inside a dedifferentiated tumor). There were three males, aged 24, 28, and 32. They had radiographs and CT, and two an MR examination. RESULTS Lesions involved the distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal humerus. The parosteal osteosarcoma was a sclerotic, regular mass, attached to the cortex. A purely lytic mass, partially composed of fluid cavities was easily detected on CT and MR. It involved the medullary cavity twice, and remained outside the bone once. Histology confirmed the two components in each case. Two patients died of pulmonary metastases and one is alive. CONCLUSION Knowledge of this highly suggestive pattern should help guide the initial biopsy to diagnose the two components of the tumor, and guide aggressive treatment.

Abstract
Osteosarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors with diverse anatomical, clinical, and progressional characteristics. Parosteal osteosarcoma, or juxtacortical osteosarcoma, is a rare form of osteosarcoma that develops at the bone surface, but has a better prognosis than other conventional osteosarcomas. We report the observation of a 22-year-old female patient whose initial presentation was an enormous tumefaction of the knee that had been progressing for 10 years. The biopsy concluded in PO of the lower third of the femur. Staging was negative. The tumor had reached an enormous size and required amputation of the left lower extremity. A custom external prosthesis was manufactured to get her back to walking. Eight years after surgery, no local recurrence or metastasis has been detected. Parosteal osteosarcoma is a rare form of osteosarcoma with very slow progression (in spite of the particularly dramatic presentation in our observation), with an excellent prognosis and very rare metastasis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate whether maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), or change therein using (18)F-FDG PET/CT performed before and after initial chemotherapy were indicators of patient outcome. METHODS Thirty-one consecutive patients who underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT before and after chemotherapy, followed by tumor resection, were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate Cox regression was used to analyze for relationships between covariates of interest (SUV(max) before and after chemotherapy, change in SUV(max), TLG before and after chemotherapy, change in TLG, and tumor necrosis) and progression-free and overall survival. Logistic regression was used to evaluate tumor necrosis. RESULTS High SUV(max) before and after chemotherapy (P = 0.008 and P = 0.009, respectively) was associated with worse progression-free survival. The cut point for SUV(max) before chemotherapy was greater than 15 g/mL* (P = 0.015), and after chemotherapy it was greater than 5 g/mL* (P = 0.006), as measured at our institution and using lean body mass. Increase in TLG after chemotherapy was associated with worse progression-free survival (P = 0.016). High SUV(max) after chemotherapy was associated with poor overall survival (P = 0.035). The cut point was above the median of 3.3 g/mL* (P = 0.043). High TLG before chemotherapy was associated with poor overall survival (P = 0.021). Good overall and progression-free survival was associated with a tumor necrosis greater than 90% (P = 0.018 and 0.08, respectively). A tumor necrosis greater than 90% was most strongly associated with a decrease in SUV(max) (P = 0.015). CONCLUSION (18)F-FDG PET/CT can be used as a prognostic indicator for progression-free survival, overall survival, and tumor necrosis in osteosarcoma.

Abstract
UNLABELLED While low-grade juxtacortical and low-grade intramedullary osteogenic sarcomas are histologically indistinguishable, they have been studied as separate entities. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, radiographic, histologic features and treatment of 59 patients treated surgically to compare the rate of local recurrence, grade progression, and survival between low-grade intramedullary and low-grade juxtacortical osteogenic sarcoma. Forty-five (76%) patients were treated for low-grade juxtacortical osteogenic sarcoma and 14 (24%) were treated for low-grade intramedullary osteogenic sarcoma. Local recurrence rates of 7% were similar for both groups studied. The rate of distant metastases was also similar for both groups. . The rate of dedifferentiation for the entire group was 29%. Dedifferentiated lesions were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy in 16 of 17 cases. Recurrence preceded dedifferentiation in four cases. Five-year survival was over 90% in both groups. Low-grade intramedullary and low-grade juxtacortical osteogenic sarcoma were clinically indistinguishable with identical rates of local recurrence, distant metastases, dedifferentiation, and survival. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma is characterized histologically by the admixture of low-grade fibroblastic osteosarcoma and a high-grade component typically resembling conventional osteosarcoma or malignant fibrous histiocytoma. We report an unusual distal femoral dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma in which the dedifferentiated component resembled a giant cell tumor of bone. This phenotype is rarely described in the dedifferentiated component of a dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma. The clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of this unusual tumor are described to further expand the histologic spectrum of dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Avaliar os achados clínicos mais importantes do osteossarcoma parosteal e descrever os seus aspectos mais comuns na radiologia convencional. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo com 26 pacientes com osteossarcoma parosteal, provenientes do arquivo do Clube do Osso, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, e análise dos principais achados clínicos e aspectos radiológicos. RESULTADOS: A doença predominou em pacientes do sexo feminino e teve idade média de acometimento na terceira década de vida. Os achados clínicos mais freqüentes foram o aumento do volume no local do tumor (77% dos casos) e a dor local (68% dos casos). O local mais comum de tumor foi o oco poplíteo, com 40% dos casos, e houve envolvimento metafisário em 92% dos tumores. O aspecto radiológico mais comumente encontrado foi de lesão bem mineralizada e intimamente justaposta à superfície óssea, com o córtex adjacente irregularmente espessado (92,3% dos casos), observando-se área de adesão a este (88,5% dos casos), além de margens tumorais lobuladas (50% dos casos) ou irregulares (38,5% dos casos). Evidenciaram-se, também, linha radiolucente entre o tumor e o osso adjacente (48% dos casos), padrão de mineralização mais denso na base do que na periferia (42,3% dos casos) e pequena ocorrência de reação periosteal (15,4% dos casos). CONCLUSÃO: Apesar de a tomografia computadorizada e a ressonância magnética serem importantes na identificação de alguns aspectos do osteossarcoma parosteal, a radiologia convencional é altamente sugestiva deste tumor e permite, na maior parte dos casos, o diagnóstico diferencial com outras lesões da superfície óssea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) arising from the surface of bone is far less common than its intramedullary counterpart. Although surface OSs share some radiographic and clinical features, they can be divided into three distinct histologic subtypes. PROCEDURE We reviewed the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of 14 cases of pediatric surface OS treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital between 1970 and 2003. RESULTS Seven patients had parosteal, five had periosteal, and two had high-grade surface OS. The median age at diagnosis was 16.2 years (range, 13.6-18.5 years). Nine patients were male; 11 were Caucasian. None had metastatic disease at diagnosis. Primary tumor sites included distal femur (n = 6), mid to proximal femur (n = 4), and mid to proximal tibia (n = 4). All 14 patients were treated with surgery, and 7 (1 with parosteal, 4 with periosteal, 2 with high-grade tumors) received chemotherapy. One patient experienced pulmonary metastasis of periosteal OS 16 months and 43 months after diagnosis; long-term disease-free survival followed resection of the metastatic tumors. Twelve patients remained alive and disease-free a median of 10 years (range, 1.5-25.4 years) after diagnosis. One patient died of high-grade surface OS 1.8 years after diagnosis, and one patient with periosteal OS died of gastric cancer 18.2 years after diagnosis of OS. CONCLUSIONS The histologic grade predicts the clinical behavior of pediatric surface OS. Complete resection is the treatment of choice regardless of tumor subtype. Whereas chemotherapy is not indicated for parosteal OS, its role in periosteal OS remains controversial.
