Chondroblastoma of the Medial Malleolus: A Very Rare Case with Radiopathological Correlation

Chondroblastoma of the Medial Malleolus: A Very Rare Case with Radiopathological Correlation in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research

https://biomedres.us/fulltexts/BJSTR.MS.ID.006057.php

Chondroblastoma is an uncommon osseous neoplasm. It accounts for less than 1% of all bone tumors. Tumors of the medial malleolus are rare, and even rarer is the chondrogenic tumors of the medial malleolus [1]. The most common anatomical site involved by this tumor is the proximal humerus, followed by the distal femur, proximal femur, proximal tibia, talus and innominate bone, in descending order. The typical radiological finding is an eccentric osteolytic lesion, frequently accompanied by a thin sclerotic rim [2,3]. The male to female ratio is greater than 2:1, with peak incidence at age of 16 years. The proximal tibia is the most common location; but there is near even distribution of cases between the proximal tibia, proximal humerus, proximal femur, and distal femur [4-6]. Malignant transformation in chondroblastoma has been described in only a few cases [7]. Patients usually present with pain and swelling, particularly if a pathological fracture is present [8]. Chondroblastoma is usually treated by simple curettage with bone grafting [4,9].

What Is Osteosarcoma? What Kinds of Symptoms Does It Cause?

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that can occur in people of any age. But it is generally more commonly found in adolescents and young adults who are starting to go through puberty. It’s not usually diagnosed until after the patient has already developed symptoms.

What causes osteosarcoma?

Some rare types of cancers cause bone breaks, or osteosarcomas. This makes up about 2% of all cancer diagnoses each year.[1] The major risk factors for this type of cancer are being exposed to high levels of radiation, having a family history of osteosarcoma, and having endocrine-disrupting hormones (like some birth control pills) taken by patients with osteosarcoma. If you are at a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma than others, there may be several warning signs you should watch out for before the disease becomes worse. Treatment involves changing your lifestyle and getting regular checkups with a doctor.

How do I tell if my child has osteosarcoma? One of the first signs a child may have osteosarcoma is a broken arm, leg, or hip. Your child may also complain about pain in his or her jaw or bone in his legs. Children who have these symptoms often receive an “open surgery.

What is the average survival time for children with osteosarcoma?

The survival time for children with osteosarcoma is only 20 months, compared with around two years for those without disease, according to Jain Dhanalakshmi MD, author of 'Osteosarcoma in Young Adults'. For this reason, doctors sometimes call osteosarcomas "young adult disease." There is also little information available about how long children with osteosarcoma will live. However, when treatment is given, it usually lasts from 5 to 10 years, depending on the stage and type of treatment. A recent study found the median overall survival was 10 years in children treated successfully.[2]

What types does osteosarcoma affect?

Osteosarcomas affect bone and soft tissue. They include both primary (involving the whole bone) and secondary (involving one section of the bone) lesions. Secondary lesions are usually found later in life, and are most frequently observed in older adults. These include fractures caused by a fall or sports injury. Primary lesions, however, usually involve only one part of the bone (such as a femur), but they can occur anywhere in the body, including in your spine. Other examples of primary tumors that can form in the spine include rhabdomyosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, osseous angiosarcoma, and chondroglioma.[citation needed] According to the National Cancer Institute, osteosarcoma occurs at five times more frequently in females than males, and it can appear in various forms, including primary or metastatic. The age group most likely to develop osteosarcoma includes teenagers and young adults and includes individuals who are overweight or obese. Most cases also occur during adolescence, and childhood is rarely associated with the development of osteosarcoma. Secondary bone cancers caused by osteosarcomas, such as osteoblastic sarcoma and osteoblastic hyperplasia, represent only 8% to 18% of the total number of new cancers in adults. [3] People with osteosarcoma are at increased risk of contracting certain types of leukemia, multiple myeloma, and other cancers. An increase in the incidence of osteosarcomas over the past decade has been attributed in part to the increasing age of menarche. In fact, women are now at increased risk of osteosarcoma than men. And because osteosarcoma tends to occur earlier in the growth spurt in girls compared with boys, early diagnosis becomes a key component to managing its impact on the overall health of these teenagers.

What symptoms does osteosarcoma cause?

There are three main features to look for in teenagers and young adults who have osteosarcoma. First, they often complain about pain. Second, if they have a fracture, pain is accompanied by bruising and swelling, often accompanied by fever. Third, this might not get better in a few weeks. Sometimes, the patients will start complaining about unusual weight loss. This can be followed by sudden death within days. Also, in older patients, bone metastases are observed. Osteosarcoma can progress over time to lead to massive destruction of bone or even to cause bone cancer. As a result, you should contact our medical team right away if you notice something out of the ordinary.

What kind of drugs can help with osteosarcoma?

Chemotherapy is still used to treat cancer-related bone disorders. While chemotherapy may not entirely cure osteosarcoma, it helps manage the progression and increases survival rates. Unfortunately, this is usually not possible for every patient. Therefore, while surgery may not completely solve your child's problem, proper medical care and good nutrition can help ensure your child remains healthy long enough for surgery. Since chemotherapy cannot target what causes the disease, it is important to consider the possibility that chemotherapy is contributing to the formation of more cancer cells. If so, you should stop taking this drug and discuss surgery with your insurance provider. Another option is hormone therapy, which improves the production of thyroid hormones. Hormones like estrogen help regulate the bones and muscles so they don't become brittle or calcified; hence, they're useful in preventing osteosarcoma. You might also want to try using a topical corticosteroid for painful and tender areas like the thighs and pelvis. Corticosteroids are relatively safe. Unlike chemotherapy, topical corticosteroids tend to be safer because they don't affect the immune system as much as chemotherapy does. If this doesn't work, you can use radioactive iodine for additional protection against bone damage.

What happens after surgery?

Surgery is one way to combat osteosarcoma. After surgery to remove the tumor, your baby will experience many healing processes that will leave him or her feeling normal again. Depending on the type of the tumor, the recovery period can range from a few days to approximately 6 months to a year. Recovery time may depend on the size of the tumor and the general health of the patient. To reduce postoperative pain, your partner can administer narcotic drugs to help relieve pain by blocking receptors that may be involved in inflammation. For some patients, pain relievers given in small doses may be helpful. In addition, depending on how severe your osteosarcoma symptoms are, you may need to take medications to control pain before returning home. Medications include aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen.

What does surgery mean?

Surgeries can treat various problems, including cancers of the heart and lungs. Any operation will require anesthesia, which can be provided by local or general anesthetic agents. Anesthesia can also be administered via intravenous (IV) lines with oxygen support. Because surgery involves removing part or all of the body, it's best to speak with your surgeon about all the potential consequences and talk to them in advance about whether you want to proceed with undergoing surgery. Before surgical procedures, it's advisable to check your blood pressure. Many patients report improved mental status and reduction of anxiety symptoms after an anesthesia procedure. However, if you experience vomiting or excessive bleeding after surgery, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Also, you should monitor your skin color and the amount of fluid in your body. The last thing you want to worry about when you get back home is sagging skin. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and eat a balanced diet. For most patients, minor surgery is typically able to be reversed after a couple of days, whereas complicated or advanced complications require a longer term of follow-up care. For example, surgery is often recommended for patients with conditions like diabetes. Doctors also perform surgeries regularly to stabilize joints or restore movement after injuries such as strokes. A large variety of options are available for treating osteosarcoma. Whether this process can successfully be reversed depends on how well you handle postoperative side effects. Pain management is another concern for patients with osteosarcoma. If your surgery involves incision, pain medication, or anti-inflammatory drugs, make sure you don't experience postoperative discomfort. When you return home following surgery, you'll want to keep yourself hydrated. Excessive thirst is usually the result of dehydration rather than decreased electrolytes in the body. Drinking plenty of fresh water can help replenish lost minerals after surgery, so be careful about drinking. Finally, it's important to remember that although your body will recover immediately following surgery, you may not feel as completely healed immediately. Some pain medication will take some time to pass into your bloodstream. Always continue to take pain relief medications, especially when you notice increased signs of joint pain.

What are the treatment and prognosis for osteosarcoma?

Once your child is stable, you should discuss the treatment plan with your healthcare provider. Usually, surgery is a safe, effective, and reliable option for treating osteosarcoma. At least half of all patients in the United States have had their tumor successfully removed in the early stages, usually within 1 year. However, surgeons may recommend different treatments, depending on the location of the tumor and overall health of the patient. For example, some children are good candidates for radiotherapy or cry

Conclusion

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that can occur in people of any age, but is most common in teenagers and young adults. It is a very aggressive form of cancer that can spread quickly to other parts of the body. Symptoms of osteosarcoma include pain in the affected bone, swelling, and fatigue. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor right away so that you can begin treatment as soon as possible.

Back Pain Issues- Causes and Treatments

Back pain is one of the most common problems that have been faced in the present in the age group of 18 and above. The age group was previously considered to be above 40 years. It has been observed that the gravity of back pain fluctuates with respect to its various types.

Types of Back pain and their causes

Somatic Back Pain: under this particular category of somatic back pain, chronic back pain and Fibromyalgia has been taken under consideration. This kind of back pain is generally caused by day-to-day tension and stress. It has been observed in mothers mostly who struggle with young children every day. Moreover, high work pressure and working in shifts is also held responsible for somatic back pain. Sore muscles lead to this kind of back pain.

Osseous Back pain: under this kind of back pain, the most serious one is known as Sciatica or Lumbar Radiculopathy. It has been observed that it is a kind of pain that takes place from the section of the sciatic nerve from the lower back to the tail bone and to the legs. It causes swelling of calf muscles in many cases. It mostly occurs between the age group of 18-35 and seen more in males. It is caused by strain in the back muscle caused due to pregnancy, Spondylolisthesis, and Lumbar spinal stenosis.

Referral Back Pain: Referral pain is caused by various issues regarding organs placed in the back of the human body. It has been observed it Is caused mostly by pregnancy and kidney issues. It is most likely to remain for a longer period of time, and its severity depends on the severity of the organ issues

Back pain that is caused by nerve lesion: Under this kind of back pain, myofascial pain syndrome is observed. It is mostly caused by spinal lesions. Weakness and numbness are felt, along with difficulty in maintaining motor skills.

Treatment of Types of Back pain

Somatic Back Pain: Fibromyalgia and chronic back pain is treatable and are cured with anti-inflammatory drugs, which are non-steroidal. For example, Ibuprofen or Motrin, acetaminophen or Tylenol, and naproxen or Naprosyn. However, in most cases, somatic back pain is cured by itself with time and exercise. Only in case of excessive pain medication is prescribed.

Osseous Back pain: it has been observed that this kind of back pain is self-treated in most cases with the help of various exercises and yoga. The treatment of these kinds of back pain is done with nutrition in order to repair the strain. Medication is often prescribed in case of excessive pain. Neurologists and orthopedists are the medical professionals who take up the treatment for this kind of back pain.

Referral Back Pain: this type of back pain is mostly cured with the cure of the lower back issues. In case of excessive pain, non-surgical methods are taken under consideration, like axial low back pain.

Back pain that is caused by nerve lesion: for the treatment of this kind of pain, NSAIDs are the most frequent methods used. Moreover, staying active and proper rest can be added to its treatment.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are the foundation for every organ and tissue in your body. They are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. There are many different types of stem cells that come from different places in the body or are formed at different times in our lives. These include embryonic stem cells that exist only at the earliest stages of development and various types of tissue-specific (or adult) stem cells that appear during fetal development and remain in our bodies throughout life.

Cell therapy involves grafting cells to restore the function of a tissue or organ. The aim is to provide long-term care to the patient through a single injection of therapeutic cells. These cells are obtained from pluripotent (can give all types of cells) or multipotent (can give a limited number of cell types) from the patient himself or from a donor. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells. Researchers now know how to differentiate pluripotent cells into several cell types.

People who might benefit from stem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, burns, cancer and osteoarthritis.

The most used Multipotent stem cells, present throughout the body within the adipose, bone marrow, organ support tissues, but also from bones, cartilage, muscles ... These stem cells are particularly easy to take from adipose tissue or bone marrow. They can give rise to cartilaginous cells (chondrocytes), Osseous (ostheoblasts), fatty (adipocytes), muscle fibers (myocytes), cardiomyocytes ... They also secrete growth factors favorable to the surrounding cells and are sometimes used exclusively for this property. They also produce anti-inflammatory factors, which lead to local immunosuppression and promote the function of cells regulating immunity. These properties limit local inflammation and protect, a priori, against transplant rejection.

Other multipotent cells can be used in cell therapy, such as skin stem cells. The stem cells of the eye make it possible to repair lesions of the cornea. Hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow are the source of all blood cells: in the case of hematological cancer, they make it possible to rebuild a stock of healthy blood cells after chemotherapy. Umbilical cord blood contains immune-naive hematopoietic stem cells, and therefore very well tolerated in the event of a transplant. Cord blood is used to treat malignant hemopathies such as leukemia or lymphoma, or genetic diseases like Fanconi anemia. It offers a serious alternative to bone marrow transplantation in the absence of a compatible donor. However, the number of therapeutic cells recovered by cord is low. When therapeutic stem cells are taken from someone other than the patient, they are said to be allogeneic. Their use can pose problems of immune tolerance.

Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. It is the next chapter in organ transplantation and uses cells instead of donor organs, which are limited in supply.

The indications for cell therapy are endless and the promise is real in many areas. Clinical fields such as that of neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases) or muscular degenerations (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) could be concerned if the researchers manage to produce different subtypes of neurons in large quantities and skeletal muscle cells. And how not to also imagine the possibility of producing blood cells, including platelet, in unlimited quantity, to cover the blood needs of hospitals? All assumptions are now allowed.

Stem cell researchers are making great advances in understanding normal development, figuring out what goes wrong in disease and developing and testing potential treatments to help patients. They still have much to learn, however, about how stem cells work in the body and their capacity for healing. Safe and effective treatments for most diseases, conditions and injuries are in the future.

There is certain information you should look into if you are considering a stem cell treatment, including a detailed description of the treatment and the science that supports it, the expected outcome and the risks. It is important to discuss any research or information you gather with your primary care physician and other trusted members of your healthcare team in deciding what is right for you.
