Bini A, Derka S, Stavrianos S. Management of head & neck sarcomas in adults: A retrospective study. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024; 52:877-883. [PMID: 38443189 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The research purpose is to review the surgical approach and evaluate the results in adult patients with head and neck sarcomas. The histopathology varied, including two leiomyosarcomas, six malignant fibrous histiocytomas, two malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, four dermatofibrosarcomas protuberans, three osteosarcomas, two angiosarcomas, one liposarcoma, one Ewing sarcoma, one synovial sarcoma, two unclassified/non-differentiated sarcomas and one solitary fibrous tumor. Surgical resection included maxillectomy, mandibulectomy, craniectomy, parotidectomy, scalp resection, face skin resection and laminectomy. The reconstruction was performed with one rectus abdominis flap, four radial forearm flaps, two latissimus dorsi flaps, two vascularized fibula flaps, two pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps, two trapezius flaps, two temporalis flaps, seven scalp flaps and two nasolabial flaps. The total patient number was 24. The hospitalization was uncomplicated, followed by postoperative radiotherapy in the majority of cases. In a mean 15-year follow-up period, 11 patients are still alive and disease-free. There were four recurrences treated with palliative radiotherapy. The surgical approach for head and neck sarcomas, including the achievement of a functionally acceptable result by organ sparing techniques, remains challenging. Wide resection combined with the appropriate reconstruction, particularly with microsurgical techniques, and followed by adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy offer improved prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract
Objective To examine survival by tumor grade of pleomorphic dermal sarcomas (PDS) of the head and neck (H&N) and review a scalp PDS case. Methods Patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were included from 1980 to 2016 based on a diagnosis of H&N PDS. Survival estimates were performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Additionally, a case of a grade III H&N PDS is presented. Results Two hundred-seventy cases of PDS were identified. The mean age at diagnosis was 75.1 years (SD: 13.5). Two hundred-thirty-four (86.7%) patients were male. Eighty-seven percent of patients received surgery as a part of their care. The 5-year overall survival rates for grades I, II, III, and IV PDSs were 69%, 60%, 50%, and 42%, respectively (P = 0.03). Conclusions H&N PDS occurs most commonly in older-age males. Surgical management is frequently a part of H&N PDS care. Survival rates significantly decline based on tumor grade.

Abstract
Sarcomas of the head and neck carry a poor prognosis as diagnosis is often delayed until a late stage of the disease. Accordingly, it is essential to be familiar with the clinical and imaging features of sarcomas to suggest an appropriate differential diagnosis for collaborating surgeons and pathologists. However, as there are only 1000-1500 cases in the United States annually, many radiologists lack experience with pertinent imaging findings of sarcoma and lack knowledge of both treatment and necessary follow-up. In this review, a brief discussion of WHO definitions and histopathology is included to decode information provided by pathologists. Finally, staging and treatments are illuminated to aid the radiologist with initial imaging staging and follow-up care. This review aims to increase the comprehensive knowledge of a neuroradiologist and further their value to the multidisciplinary tumor board.

Abstract
Background Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is considered one of the most common types of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Current studies have shown that the prognosis of UPS is related to some of its clinical characteristics, but no survival prediction model for the overall survival (OS) of UPS patients has been reported. The purpose of this study is to construct and validate a nomogram for predicting OS in UPS patients at 3, 5 years after the diagnosis. Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1079 patients with UPS were screened from the SEER database and randomly divided into the training cohort (n = 755) and the validation cohort (n = 324). Patient demographic and clinicopathological characteristics were first described, and the correlation between the two groups was compared, using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis to determine independent prognostic factors. Based on the identified independent prognostic factors, a nomogram for OS in UPS patients was established using R language. The nomogram’s performance was then validated using multiple indicators, including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), consistency index (C-index), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Both the C-index of the OS nomogram in the training cohort and the validation cohort were greater than 0 .75, and both the values of AUC were greater than 0.78. These four values were higher than their corresponding values in the TNM staging system, respectively. The calibration curves of the Nomogram prediction model and the TNM staging system were well fitted with the 45° line. Decision curve analysis showed that both the nomogram model and the TNM staging system had clinical net benefits over a wide range of threshold probabilities, and the nomogram had higher clinical net benefits than the TNM staging system as a whole. Conclusion With good discrimination, accuracy, and clinical practicability, the nomogram can individualize the prediction of 3-year and 5-year OS in patients with UPS, which can provide a reference for clinicians and patients to make better clinical decisions.

Abstract
The Rationale: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma originally known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma was declassified by the World Health Organization in 2002 as a formal diagnostic entity and renamed as an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. It accounts for <1% of malignant tumours of the long bone. Patient Concerns: A 33-year-old male patient reported with swelling and pain in the lower left posterior jaw region for 3 months with a history of fall on the floor 3 months back. Diagnosis: On examination, diffuse solitary swelling was present on the left lower third of the face and was diagnosed radiographically and histopathologically as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the mandible. Treatment and Outcomes: Selective neck dissection, followed by reconstruction with fibula osteomyocutaneous flap and then referred for adjuvant radiotherapy. Take-away Lessons: Vimentin staining plays a substantial role in the diagnosis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. A long-term follow-up after treatment is required to increase the chances of disease-free survival for the patients.

Abstract
Renal fibrosarcoma is a rare tumor, with only a few cases reported so far, and simultaneous occurrence of ipsilateral renal fibrosarcoma and renal pelvic carcinoma in a patient is extraordinarily rare. A 66-year-old man admitted to our hospital with right renal percutaneous nephrostomy and recurrent fever. And the patient underwent laparoendoscopic nephrectomy and partial ureterectomy for pyonephrotic nonfunctioning kidneys. Postoperative pathology showed fibrosarcoma of right kidney and carcinoma of the renal pelvis. This is the first case of simultaneous occurrence of ipsilateral renal fibrosarcoma and renal pelvic carcinoma in a patient. The diagnosis of fibrosarcoma is one of ultimate immunohistologic exclusion, because there are no specific immunologic markers for fibroblasts. Electron microscopy combined with light microscopy and IHC is helpful for the case of renal fibrosarcoma which is difficult to diagnose. Clinically, radical nephrectomy is the main strategy for primary localized renal fibrosarcoma. At present, it is still necessary to carry out basic biology research to better understand etiology and therapeutical strategy of renal fibrosarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell sarcomas (GCS) are rare head and neck neoplasms. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was analyzed for all patients who have been diagnosed with GCS from 1973 to 2014. RESULTS Four hundred and forty cases of GCS of the head and neck were identified. The average age at diagnosis was 74.4 years, 86.8% were white, 82.5% were male, 70.7% were insured, and 88.2% lived in an urban metropolitan region. Connective tissue was the most frequent primary site (42.5%). The 5Y-DSS rate was 91.1%, while the 5Y-OS was 54.6% for all cases. Patients treated with surgery alone had the highest 5Y-DSS rate of 94.5. T-classification odds ratio was a significant predictor of survival accounting for confounding variables on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS GCS presents most frequently in connective tissue of the head and neck with overall high probability of survival. The treatment of choice is surgery alone.

Oral Health and Molecular Aspects of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma Patients: A Systematic Review of the Literature. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:E1426. [PMID: 32102165 PMCID: PMC7068479 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17041426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults. It occurs only occasionally in oral soft tissues, and knowledge about its characteristics is based on a limited number of cases reported in the literature. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma belongs to the group of soft tissue sarcomas and makes up less than 10% of soft tissue sarcomas. For therapeutic purposes, complete exeresis of the lesion (macroscopic and microscopic) is performed because they have frequent recurrences. As for complementary therapy in addition to surgery, neither radiotherapy nor chemotherapy have been shown to reduce the risk of death related to the disease. Often patients complain of a swelling that grows in a short period of time. It is quite common for patients to report trauma in the area, which is not the cause, but rather the event that allows diagnosis. The mass usually does not cause pain unless it compresses an adjacent nerve structure. The aim of this study is to systematically review the scientific literature in order to identify the most recent studies concerning malignant fibrous histiocytomas localized in oral soft tissues and report their main data. The main outcomes of this study concern the immunohistochemical, molecular, and clinical aspects of this pathology. A systematic review of articles in the electronic databases pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science was performed. After the selection process, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The mean age of the patients was 50.8 years old. The lesions affected various parts of the oral cavity, showing predominantly storiform-pleomorphic patterns. All cases except one were treated with surgical resection and radiation therapy. Although some data emerged from this review, they remain limited to a few case reports. Further studies are necessary in order to standardize the approach to patients affected by oral malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant fibrous neoplasms (MFN) of long bones are rare lesions. Moreover, the prognostic determinants of MFN of long bones have not been reported. This study aimed to present epidemiological data and analyse the prognostic factors for survival in patients with MFN. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) programme database was used to screen patients with malignant fibrous neoplasms (MFN) of long bones from 1973 to 2015, with attention to fibrosarcoma, fibromyxosarcoma, periosteal fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The prognostic values of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were assessed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model with univariate and multivariate analyses. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to obtain OS and CSS curves. RESULTS A total of 237 cases were selected from the SEER database. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma was the most common form of lesion in long bones. Multivariate analysis revealed that independent predictors of OS included age, stage, tumour size and surgery. Age, stage, tumour size and surgery were also independent predictors of CSS. Additionally, the most significant prognostic factor was whether metastasis had occurred at the time of initial diagnosis. CONCLUSION Among patients with MFN of long bones, age (> 60 years), tumour size (> 10 cm), distant stage, and non-surgical treatment are factors for poor survival.

[PMID: 31819633 PMCID: PMC6885560 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s226896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 11/12/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Our study aimed to describe the clinical features of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and identify the predictors of poor outcomes. Patients and methods The clinicopathological variables and treatment strategies of 100 UPS patients who underwent surgical resections at a single institution between November 2004 and July 2016 were reviewed. Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression method were conducted for survival analysis. Results The median follow-up time was 94 months (range, 1.5–154 months). R0 resection was applied for 72 cases, and the median tumor size was 5.75cm (range, 1–30cm). Tumor grades of 45 patients were intermediate grade (G2), and 54 patients were with advanced stage (stage III/IV). Twenty-seven patients presented with tumors involving important structures, in which the nerve was the most frequently invaded structure (n=12). During the follow-up, 40 patients suffered from postoperative local recurrence, and distant metastasis was observed in 25 patients which mainly metastasized to the lung (n=14). The 5-year OS rate, 5-year LRFS rate, and 5-year MFS rate was 53%, 55%, and 70%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor presentation, tumor size, and important structures involved (p=0.033, p=0.004, and p=0.033, respectively) were independent prognostic factors associated with OS. Meanwhile, age, resection quality and tumor grade were independent prognostic factors for LRFS (p=0.033, p=0.045, and p=0.007, respectively) and tumor depth was significantly associated with MFS (p=0.050) in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Primary treatment of UPS should be conducted by experts in large sarcoma center. Wide surgical margin provides sufficient control of the disease recurrence.
