| Popis: | A follow-up investigation of 25 cases of extraskeletal osteosarcomas diagnosed at the Center for Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, in the period from 1970-1995 was undertaken. The immunohistochemical profile of these tumors was evaluated using a panel of 10 antibodies, and the value of alkaline phosphatase staining in differential diagnostic situations also was considered. The study revealed that this tumor is high-grade malignant and affects adults (median age, 67 years; range, 35-82 years) at diagnosis. The thigh (52%) was the most common tumor location. Seven tumors were superficial, whereas the remaining 18 were intramuscular. Two patients with superficial tumors previously received radiation to the area. Local recurrences developed in 9 (36%) patients and distant metastases developed in the lungs in 15 (60%) patients as the most common site. Median survival time was 24 months, and the cause-specific survival rate at 5 years was less than 25%. Thirteen (52%) intramuscularly located extraskeletal osteosarcomas were of the fibroblastic subtype, often with sparse amounts of osteoid. They could be separated from malignant fibrous histiocytoma on the basis of a strongly positive alkaline phosphatase reaction. Immunohistochemistry did not reveal characteristic features because positivity for vimentin, occasional positivity for desmin, actin, S-100, epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin, and p-53 may be observed in many other pleomorphic sarcomas. Various histopathologic factors, such as tumor size, tumor depth, histopathologic subtype, malignancy grade (IIIA versus IIIB), MIB-1, and p53 reactivity were analyzed in relation to clinical course. Only MIB proliferation was correlated to prognosis, with significantly longer survival in patients with tumors with MIB-1 values less than 24%. Our study has shown extraskeletal osteosarcoma to behave in a highly aggressive fashion. Alkaline phosphatase staining compared with immunohistochemistry proved to be superior in the differentiation from other pleomorphic sarcomas. |
