ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To present the epidemiological profile of bone and soft tissue tumors that affect the elbow region treated at an oncology referral center in Brazil. Methods: Retrospective observational case series study to evaluate the results of elbow cancer undergoing clinical and/or surgical treatment with the first visit from 1990 to 2020. The dependent variables were benign bone tumor, malignant bone tumor, benign soft tissue tumor, malignant soft tissue tumor. Independent variables were sex, age; presence of symptoms (pain/increase in local volume/fracture); diagnosis; treatment and recurrence. Results: In total, 37 patients were included, 51.35% of whom were female, with a mean age at diagnosis of 33.5 years. Soft tissue neoplasms correspond to 51% of cases against 49% of bone tumors. Among the symptoms, the general prevalence of pain was 56.75%, the general increase in local volume occurred in 54.04% of the patients and the presence of fractures in 13.43%. Surgical treatment occurred in 75.67% of cases and recurrence in 16.21% of cases. Conclusion: The tumors that affect the elbow in our series correspond mostly to benign tumors, involving bone or soft tissues, with a higher occurrence in young adult patients. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.
RESUMO Objetivo: Apresentar o perfil epidemiológico dos tumores ósseos e de partes moles que acometem a região do cotovelo. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo de série de casos para avaliação dos resultados de neoplasia do cotovelo submetidos a tratamento clínico e/ou cirúrgico cujo primeiro atendimento se deu entre 1990 e 2020. As variáveis dependentes foram: tumor ósseo benigno, tumor ósseo maligno, tumor de partes moles benigno, tumor de partes moles maligno. A variáveis independentes foram: sexo; idade; presença de sintomas (dor, aumento de volume local, fratura); lateralidade; diagnóstico; tratamento; e recidiva. Resultados: Foram incluídos 37 pacientes, sendo 51,35% do sexo feminino, com média de idade ao diagnóstico de 33,5 anos. As neoplasias de partes moles correspondem a 51% dos casos contra 49% de tumores ósseo. Dentre os sintomas a prevalência geral de dor foi de 56,75%, foi observado o aumento geral de volume local em 54,04% pacientes e a presença de fraturas em 13,43%. O tratamento cirúrgico ocorreu em 75,67% dos casos e a recidiva em 16,21%. Conclusão: Nesta série, os tumores que acometem o cotovelo são majoritariamente tumores benignos, de acometimento ósseo ou de partes moles, com maior ocorrência em pacientes adultos jovens. Nível de Evidência IV, Série de Casos.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: Characterizing ankle tumors, presenting the epidemiological profile of these lesions. Methods: Retrospective observational case series study to evaluate the results of clinical and/or surgical treatments of patients with ankle tumors whose first visit occurred from 1990 to 2020. The dependent variables were: benign bone tumor, malignant bone tumor, benign soft tissue tumor, malignant soft tissue tumor, and infection. The independent variables were: sex, age; presence of symptoms (pain/local volume increase/fracture), duration of symptoms until treatment, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence. Results: In total, 70 patients were included-58.5% were women, with a mean age at the time of diagnosis of 21.66 years. Among all cases, 76% were bone tumor, 14% were soft tissue tumor, and 10% were infection. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 21.7 ± 2.29 years. The overall prevalence of pain was 77.1%. In total, 55.6% patients had a general local volume increase 13.4% had fractures. The mean time from symptoms to treatment was 17.4 ± 4.61 months and the mean diagnosis time was 10.13 ± 0.86 months. Of all cases, 73.44% underwent surgical treatment and 22.64% had recurrence. Conclusion: In this series, ankle tumors corresponded mainly to bone tumors. Benign tumors were the most prevalent type of tumor and the highest occurrence was among young people. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.
RESUMO Objetivos: Caracterizar tumores da região do tornozelo apresentando o perfil epidemiológico destas lesões. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo de série de casos para avaliação dos resultados de neoplasias do tornozelo submetidos a tratamento clínico e/ou cirúrgico em que o primeiro atendimento tenha ocorrido entre 1990 e 2020. As variáveis dependentes foram: tumor ósseo benigno, tumor ósseo maligno, tumor de partes moles benigno, tumor de partes moles maligno e infecção. As variáveis independentes foram: sexo, idade, presença de sintomas (dor/aumento de volume local/fratura), tempo de sintomas até o atendimento, diagnóstico, tratamento e recidiva. Resultados: Foram analisados 70 pacientes, sendo 58,5% do sexo feminino, com média de idade no momento do diagnóstico de 21,66 (21,7 ± 2,29) anos. As neoplasias ósseas correspondem a 76% dos casos, seguidas de tumor de partes moles com 14% e de infecção com 10%. A prevalência geral de dor foi de 77,1%. O aumento geral de volume local ocorreu em 55,6% pacientes e presença de fraturas em 13,4%. A média de tempo de sintomas até o atendimento foi de 17,4 ± 4,61 meses e a média de tempo para o diagnóstico foi de 10,13 ± 0,86 meses. O tratamento cirúrgico ocorreu em 73,44% dos casos e a recidiva em 22,64%. Conclusão: Os tumores ao nível do tornozelo nesta série correspondem majoritariamente a tumores ósseos, com prevalência do benigno e maior ocorrência em jovens. Nível de Evidência IV, Série de Casos.
