Figures

Fig. 1
Fig. 1
An anteroposterior view of pelvis shows irregularly expansive lytic bone destruction with surrounding sclerosis and endosteal scalloping in the metaphysis of the left femur and femoral head.
Fig. 2A–D
Fig. 2A–D
An (A) axial scan of the pelvis shows erosion of the medial cortex with marked thinning and destruction of the cortex posteromedially and thickening anteriorly of the left femur. (B) A coronal reconstruction CT scan of the bony window shows a large osteolytic lesion with spotty calcifications and mixed density in the metaphysis of the left femur and femoral head with erosion of its medial cortex. These coronal reconstruction CT scans of the soft tissue window show (C) some swelling of the soft tissue and (D) an obvious breach of the medial contex of the left femur.

Fig. 3A–D
Photomicrographs show histologic sections of the lesion. (A) Solid nests or large sheets of spindle or epithelioid cells are interspersed between and around preexisting vessels with flat endothelium (Stain, hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification, ×40). (B) Tumor cells are large and pleomorphic and show a moderately abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and a round-to-oval nucleus with one or two prominent nucleoli. Mitotic figures were numerous and frequently abnormal (Stain, hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification, ×400). (C) Immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong staining of tumor cells for CD31 (Original magnification, ×200). (D) Immunostaining for CD34 was partially positive (Original magnification, ×200).
