Percutaneous intralesional brushing of cystic lesions of bone: a technical improvement of diagnostic cytology.

A modified bronchial brush is presented as a new cytologic method to improve the value of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of cystic lesions of bone. Four female and six male patients ranging in age from 10 to 44 years were studied. In all cases intralesional brushing was percutaneously performed under fluoroscopic control with local anesthesia. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy preceded intralesional brushing and was performed as described elsewhere. The brush was driven into the walls and septa of an osteolytic lesion through a 14-G needle; material obtained was fixed and processed for cytological and/or histological examinations.

Selective arterial embolisation in aneurysmal bone cysts.

The treatment of three cases of aneurysmal bone cyst by selective arterial embolism is described. Two cases had involvement of the pelvis and one of the knee. The 2-year follow up has been promising. Radiologically the lesion has been arrested with increased density of the cyst wall and intra-cystic trabecular new bone formation. Pain relief has been complete and up to now no surgical treatment has been required.

Superior thoracic outlet syndrome.

The authors discuss Superior Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (STOS), which is characterized by aspecific symptomatology. However, some tests may be used to reveal the specificity of the disease. In the past, treatment was often followed by recurrence of the disease. In the last ten years, the Roos operation has been used with a high success rate.

Selective arterial embolization in orthopaedic pathology. Analysis of long-term results.

9 patients with tumorous and tumor-like skeletal lesions are examined; the patients were treated by selective arterial embolization, therapeutic, adjuvant and palliative, with follow-up ranging from 2 to 10 years. For therapeutic purposes 12 cases were constituted by aneurysmal bone cyst of large size and which was difficult to treat surgically (pelvis: 5; spine: 3; limbs: 4). For the purposes of assisting the excision procedure, selective arterial embolization was used in 2 patients with giant cell tumor of bone, the first localized in the right iliac wing and the second in the sacrum; in one patient with retroperitoneal teratoma and in 1 with hemangiopericytoma of the soft tissues of the thigh. Furthermore, in 3 patients with inoperable multiple bone metastasis, selective arterial embolization was used in order to relieve pain as palliative SAE. The authors emphasize that complete healing of aneurysmal bone cyst is possible, with no recurrence after more than 10 years; they also stress the role played by selective arterial embolization as an adjuvant particularly in the pre-surgical treatment of large giant cell tumor of bone.
