Sažetak
In the period from 1991-1996 at the age from 6-18 yrs there were 15 children with diagnosis osteosarcoma and 13 children with diagnosis Ewing sarcoma of the limb treated at the Children's Hospital Zagreb- Center for solid tumours. In our report we compare resul of treatment depending on operation method- limb salvage or amputation. Preoperative chemotherapy was performed in all children with osteosarcoma and all of the others with Ewing sarcoma. Limb salvage with implantation of endoprothesis or bone transplant was done in 7 children with osteosarcoma and 11 children with Ewing sarcoma. Amputation was done in 8 patients with osteosarcoma and in 2 patients with Ewing sarcoma. 2 children with limb salvage and 3 children with amputation in osteosarcoma group had lethal outcome. In Ewing sarcoma group 3 children with limb salvage and 2 children with amputation had lethal outcome. According to the results we would like to stress the seriousness of the decision for the type of operation which has to be founded after detailed analysis of bone scyntigraphy and computer tomogrphy scans which explains the eventual infiltration of soft tissue. In the postoperative treatment we would like to stress the necessity for intensification of chemotherapy which can provide the most successful results of the bone tumour treatment.
