Summary
Four typical, large, hollow simple bone cysts with a sarcoma arising in the cyst wall are described. The range of patterns in the sarcomas duplicated the range of patterns that may be found in the walls of bone cysts. The same variation was present in another sarcoma arising from the wall of a cystic cavity that was produced by bone marrow infarction.
Zusammenfassung
Eingehende makroskopische und histologische Beschreibung von 4 Fällen von sekundärer Sarkomentwicklung auf dem Boden einer einkammerigen Knochencyste. Im Sarkom wird das Strukturprinzip der Knochencyste wiederholt. Die gleichen Veränderungen finden sich in einem 5. Fall von Knochensarkom, welches sich auf dem Boden eines cystisch umgewandelten Knochenmarkinfarktes entwickelt hatte.
