Abstract

Aim: Bone tumors are rare and have an uneven geographic distribution.

Methods: 730 patients diagnosed with bone tumors were included in this retrospective analysis.

Results: With a 64% rate of malignancy, the most common tumors were metastasis (40%) mostly in the axial skeleton, Osteosarcoma (9%) mostly in the femur, Osteochondroma (8%) mostly in the femur, giant cell tumors (7%) mostly in the knee, and Ewing's sarcoma (6%) mostly in the axial skeleton.

Conclusion: Even though a some of the tumors have a predilection for certain localizations in the human body, they may differ in the middle-eastern population. One must also pay attention to the higher rates of malignancies as compared with other cohorts.

黎巴嫩骨肿瘤流行病学：一项2000年至2022年在三级中心进行的回顾性研究。

目的：骨肿瘤是罕见的，并且具有不均匀的地理分布。方法：对730例诊断为骨肿瘤的患者进行回顾性分析。结果：恶性肿瘤的发生率为64%，最常见的肿瘤是转移瘤（40%），主要发生在轴骨，骨肉瘤（9%），骨软骨瘤（8%），骨巨细胞瘤（7%），尤因肉瘤（6%），主要出现在轴骨。结论：尽管某些肿瘤在人体内有某些定位的偏好，但它们在中东部人群中可能有所不同。人们还必须注意，与其他人群相比，恶性肿瘤的发病率更高。
