Does A Single Osteotomy Technique for Frozen Autograft (Pedicled Freezing) in Patients With Malignant Bone Tumors of the Long Bones Achieve Union and Local Tumor Control?
CONCLUSION: This treatment was reasonably successful in patients with sarcomas of the femur, tibia, and humerus who could undergo an intercalary resection, and this treatment did not involve the epiphysis and upper metaphysis. It avoids a second osteotomy site as in prior reports of freezing techniques, and union was achieved in all but one patient. There were few complications or local recurrences, and the patients' function was shown to be good. This technique cannot be used in all long-bone sarcomas, but we believe this is a reasonable alternative treatment for patients who show a good response to neoadjuvant chemothera...

Incidentally Discovered Right Atrial Mass: A Rare and Unexpected Etiology
This report describes a patient with atrial flutter who had a new right atrial mass incidentally discovered on transesophageal echocardiography. A thrombus was suspected based on radiographic appearance, but there was minimal change with anticoagulation. The mass was resected and found to be an undifferentiated pleomorphic cardiac sarcoma, an uncommon sub-type within the already rare category of primary cardiac neoplasms. This report highlights the importance of considering primary malignancy and thoroughly correlating radiographic and clinical evidence during the diagnostic workup of patients with intracardiac masses.PMID...

Venous Thromboembolic Event Following Soft Tissue Sarcoma Diagnosis is Associated with the Development of Pulmonary Metastasis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with VTE after STS diagnosis have an odds ratio of 6.3 for developing metastatic pulmonary disease compared with patients without venous thromboembolic events. Smoking history was also associated with future pulmonary metastases.PMID:36847960 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-13276-y
