Magetsari R, Agustian D. Epidemiology of musculoskeletal tumors in Sardjito hospital Yogyakarta Indonesia. Edorium J Med 2018;4:100005M05RM2018.ABSTRACT
Aims: Management of musculoskeletal tumors to reduce mortality rate are still improving because of lack of descriptive data in every region. It is usual for these tumors to be diagnosed late because these neoplasms are uncommon; moreover, their presentations are vague with unspecific signs and symptoms. Sometimes they are recognized and treated like osteomyelitis or simple fracture before exact diagnosis. Therefore, basic epidemiology in each region can help doctors to diagnose and manage them earlier. Also, these studies can guide researchers to find particular risk factors in that area.
Methods: We collected and reviewed 122 pathologic reports in Sardjito General Hospital which are the main referral centers of musculoskeletal tumors in Yogyakarta between 2011 to 2014 retrospectively. Data were analized on histopathologic types of musculoskeletal tumor, anatomical site, age and gender.
Results: Of all the 122 cases, 51.6% were affected in males while the rest 48.4% were affected in females. The first most common malignant bone tumors were osteosarcoma (22; 35.5%), while the first most common benign bone tumors were giant cell tumor (21; 48.9%). In malignant bone tumors followed by metastasis (17; 27.4%) and chondrosarcoma (7; 11.3%). In benign bone tumors followed by osteochondroma (8; 17.8%) and aneurysmal bone cyst (3; 6.7%). Femur was the most common site of malignant musculoskeletal tumors, followed by the humerus, while tibia is a common site for benign tumors.
Conclusion: Epidemiology of musculoskeletal tumors in Yogyakarta, in comparison with other parts of the world, are no significant differences. This report represents a first of its kind in our region, and gives representative results to be compared to other South East Asia, region.
