Abstract

Introduction: The objective of the study was to describe the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutive aspects of long bones primary tumors at the Regional Hospital of Sokode.

Patients and Method: It was a prospective descriptive study of patients with long bone primary tumors for a period of 04 years from January 2019 to December 2022.

Results: Twenty-eight tumors were identified in 18 men and 10 women. The morphological assessment was standard radiography (n=28), CT scan was performed in 18% (n=05). These were osteolytic tumors (39.2%), osteocondensing tumors (21.4%), mixed tumors (25%) and mixed tumors with fracture (14.4%). Anatomopathology examination of 14 patients showed osteosarcoma (n=06), chondrosarcoma (n=03), Ewing's sarcoma (n=01) and an osteochondroma (n=04). Surgical treatment by transfemoral amputation was performed in 06 cases for malignant tumors. An excision biopsy was performed for the 04 lesions whose diagnosis was an osteochondroma.

Conclusion: Diagnosis and treatment of primary long bone tumors is difficult in isolated surgical areas. The subsidy of their treatment, the implementation of diagnostic and therapeutic tools could improve the vital prognosis of patients with malignant tumor.
