An epidemiologic analysis of bone tumours in Trinidad & Tobago.
A retrospective analysis of primary and secondary bone tumours, site of origin and demographic data was conducted.
63 bone tumours were analysed and included 27 primary benign (43%), 12 primary malignant (19%), 19 metastatic (30%) and 5 by contiguous spread (8%). The most common malignant primary tumour was the osteosarcoma (n = 7), originating from the femur in mostly males in the 11-20 age group. There was 1 chondrosarcoma, 2 fibrosarcomas and 2 plasmacytomas. Benign tumours consisted of 8 osteochondromas, 2 osteomas, 3 giant cell tumours, 3 bone cysts and 11 cases of fibrous dysplasia.
Bone tumours are rare with a low incidence of 1.125 per 100,000 population annually and malignant tumours being even rarer at an incidence of 0.18 per 100,000 population annually. There is need for better documentation and data registries in Trinidad and Tobago.
特立尼达和多巴哥骨肿瘤的流行病学分析。
对原发性和继发性骨肿瘤、起源部位及人口统计学数据进行回顾性分析。
共分析了63例骨肿瘤，其中原发性良性肿瘤27例（43%），原发性恶性肿瘤12例（19%），转移性肿瘤19例（30%），连续性扩散肿瘤5例（8%）。最常见的原发性恶性肿瘤是骨肉瘤（n = 7），多发生于11至20岁的男性，起源于股骨。有1例软骨肉瘤、2例纤维肉瘤和2例浆细胞瘤。良性肿瘤包括8例骨软骨瘤、2例骨瘤、3例骨巨细胞瘤、3例骨囊肿和11例骨纤维发育不良。
骨肿瘤较为罕见，年发病率为每10万人1.125例，恶性肿瘤更为罕见，年发病率为每10万人0.18例。特立尼达和多巴哥需要更好地进行记录和建立数据登记处。
