Retrospective Evaluation of Primary Bone Tumors and Their Incidence in the “Ignacio García Téllez” Specialty Hospital CMN IMSS

Abstract

In 1948, Steiner conducted an analysis of cancer registries in the United States of America, estimating that primary bone tumors constituted approximately 1% of all fetal malignancies. For its part, in Great Britain, a similar incidence of primary bone tumors is observed, fluctuating between 0.8% and 0.9%. A later statistic from the United States at v of 1.87:1000 000 deaths among children under 14 years of age, increasing to 11.97:1000 000 deaths in people aged 11 to 19 years. Since all bone components are derived from the mesoderm, they have the potential to be composed of any of the four basic types of cells: fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts and the reticulo-myelogenous series, to achieve a correct diagnosis it is necessary to have the complementary radiological and pathological support to part of biochemical and hematological investigations. The present investigation focused on a retrospective, observational, quantitative, risk-free study, based on the review of records and tracking of histological reports of patients who were treated at the “Ignacio García Téllez” CMN IMSS Specialty Hospital in a period of 5 years, including all those cases with primary tumors of bone or cartilage origin, both benign and malignant of bone marrow and vascular, in addition to pseudotumor lesions such as fibrous dysplasia, metaphyseal fibrous defect, solitary bone cyst. A total of 182 histological records and reports were recorded in a period of 5 years where a total of 93 women and 89 men were recorded, with ages ranging from 3 months of extrauterine life to 87 years. With a mean of 56.53 years and a standard deviation of 18.48 years. 129 benign tumors were reported in 63 men and 66 women; Meanwhile, a total of 53 malignancies were counted in 26 men and 27 women. The current study facilitates the evaluation of the most common neoplasms in our environment, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of having adequate resources to develop a timely diagnosis and treatment plan for the benefit of patients.
