Conclusions
Primary malignant bone tumors are rare and as such they represent a
difficult category of tumors for appropriate recognition, classification and
treatment. Although the occurrence of bone sarcomas is low, they affect
particularly children and adolescents, which implies that they have a major
impact on the life of patients and their families. In recent years, advances
in medical and surgical treatment modalities have resulted in an
improvement of the outcome and survival of primary malignant bone
tumors. This has been paralleled by significant developments in the
molecular and cytogenetic characterization, which in combination with
light/electron microscopy and immunohistochemical techniques, has
contributed to a better understanding of this group of tumors.
