Primary osteosarcoma in elderly patients : A report of three cases
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults. However, primary osteosarcoma in elderly patients is rare. The present study reports 3 cases of advanced osteosarcoma in elderly patients. The pathological findings in all 3 cases confirmed the diagnosis of primary osteosarcoma. Notably, each patient received different treatment options. Chemoradiotherapy was recommended in case 1 due to the age of the patient. However, the patient requested to be discharged and was lost to follow-up. Conversely, in case 2, the 62-year-old female patient underwent systemic chemotherapy, but no surgical treatment, and in case 3, the 51-year-old male patient underwent complete tumor resection and received systemic chemotherapy for late tumor recurrence. Early diagnosis of osteosarcoma in elderly patients is difficult, and misdiagnosis or a missed diagnosis is common. In clinical practice, bone tumors in elderly patients should be investigated carefully. Imaging examinations are essential for diagnosis, and biopsy is required for confirmation. However, the efficacy of chemotherapy for elderly patients with primary osteosarcoma remains uncertain. Collectively, due to the small number of reports of osteosarcoma in the elderly population, the 3 cases in the present study raise awareness of this rare condition.
