In the era of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, extrapulmonary involvement by high-grade osteosarcoma (HGOS) is rare. Importantly however, HGOS metastasis in the form of cardiovascular tumor thrombus portends a dismal prognosis. Thus, prompt and accurate identification of tumor thrombus is crucial. We report here two unique cases of recurrent HGOS, presenting as thrombotic events, in order to increase awareness and index of suspicion among practitioners regarding this presentation. Additionally, we review 14 previously reported pediatric cases of cardiovascular metastatic HGOS.
在新辅助化疗和辅助化疗时代,高级别骨肉瘤(HGOS)的肺外受累情况较为罕见。然而,重要的是,HGOS以心血管肿瘤血栓的形式发生转移预示着预后不良。因此,及时准确地识别肿瘤血栓至关重要。我们在此报告两例独特的复发性HGOS病例,表现为血栓形成事件,以提高从业者对这种表现的认识和怀疑指数。此外,我们回顾了14例先前报道的小儿心血管转移性HGOS病例。
