Structural changes in the pubic bone often are difficult to interpret. The radiologic appearance is very different. The differentiation between inflammatory and malignant processes is hardly to distinguish. We are reporting ten patients with osseous changes in the os pubic (4 Ewing's sarcoma, 1 osteosarcoma, 1 Morbus Hodgkin, 1 osteochondronecrosis, 2 osteochondritis, 1 subchronic osteomyelitis). Two patients with Ewing's sarcoma who were initially treated for osteomyelitis are described in detail. Differential diagnosis and previous literature are reviewed.

A child diagnosed with Stage IVB Hodgkin disease at nine and one-half years of age subsequently developed osteosarcoma and acute myelogenous leukemia ten years after her initial diagnosis. She received multiple courses of radiotherapy and several single chemotherapeutic agents for her Hodgkin disease. Theraphy-induced multiple malignancies and intrinsic predisposition to carcinogenesis in this case is discussed.

The cases of two children who developed osteogenic sarcoma of the distal femur following prolonged remission of Hodgkin's disease are reported. These cases are unique in that the sarcoma developed in an area not previously irradiated. This occurrence suggests the possibility of genetic susceptibility to primary cancers in certain individuals, although prior chemotherapy may have contributed to this occurrence.

Eleven patients with osteogenic sarcoma (9), Hodgkin disease (1), and mesenchymal sarcoma (1), were treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (DDP). Myelosuppression and vomiting of variable degrees occurred in all. No responses were seen.

Spinal cord compression is a rare but serious complication of malignant diseases in children. Epidural cord compression was noted in 81 patients within the past 17 years at this center. The complication developed at different times during the course of the primary disease. For 29 of our patients, cord dysfunction was one of the initial signs of cancer--Ewing sarcoma, neuroblastoma, Hodgkin disease, and malignant lymphoma. By contrast, for most of the patients with osteosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, it appeared later in their clinical course. The treatment outcome of patients who were paraplegia with complete loss of sensory function for greater than or equal to 48 hours was poor. Only four of 22 in this group became ambulatory. Ten patients with osteosarcoma did not undergo laminectomies because they all had multiple metastases and terminal disease. Paraplegia developed in all ten. There was no difference in ambulatory rates among other patients, with or without laminectomies.

Cytostatics- and radiation-induced alterations of the parenchyma of the lung were investigated in 30 children with malignomas before, during and after therapy by means of lung perfusion scintigraphy. Before the tumour-therapy (2 children) lung-scintigrams were regular. 16 children (Hodgkin- and non Hodgkin-lymphoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia with mediastinal tumour, intrathoracal neuroblastoma and Ewing-sarcoma) received epidiaphragmatical radiation and cytostatics. All 35 lung-scintigrams of these patients (1-60 months after beginning of therapy) were abnormal. Within 6 months after radiation obstructions to perfusion could be demonstrated in ray-treated parenchyma of the lung only. Subsequent to 6 months after radiation, during cytostatics, disturbances of perfusion were diffusely spreading in the lung parenchyma. 12 children (acute lymphocytic leukemia, Histiocytosis X and osteogenic sarcoma) received cytostatics only. All 18 lung-scintigrams of these patients (1-55 months after beginning of therapy) were pathological. After cessation of therapy (radiochemotherapy or chemotherapy only) scintigraphically improvement of perfusion occurred in the majority of patients. Obviously the diffusely spreading obstructions to perfusion represent alterations during the early phase of their development induced by chemotherapy.

The results of morphologicl examinations of some soft tissue sarcomas, osteogenic sarcoma, and lymphogranulomatosis after radiation therapy are presented. Morphological changes developing after radiation and drug therapy of tumors are similar, only the extent of their intensity, vascular reaction, and changes in the adjacent tissues are different. Five cases of acute leukemia developing in patients with lymphogranulomatosis in the presence of long-term cytostatic therapy are described.

More aggressiveness in treatment of childhood malignancies has had an evident impact on survival and rate of cure but, it has also allowed us to discover long-term effects of these treatments, and second malignant tumors of them. Between 1970 and 1993, 472 cases of malignant tumors in childhood were diagnosed in our department. Six of them (1.27%) developed a second tumor (five malignant and one benign). Relationship between first and second tumors are: seven years old boy, cervical lymphosarcoma-thyroid carcinoma; eleven years old boy, osteogenic sarcoma-vesical carcinoma: two years and six months old boy, cerebellar astrocytoma-soft tissue osteogenic sarcoma; five years old girl. Wilm's tumor-scapular osteogenic chondroma; one year and a half old girl, abdominal neuroblastoma-granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma); twelve years old boy. Hodgkin's disease-acute myeloblastic leukemia. All of them were clearly related to concogenic effect of radiation or chemotherapy.

An analysis of seven hundred and ninety one children aged 0.2 to 14 years with confirmed malignant disease recorded by the Malawi National Cancer Registry over a period of 9 years is presented. Childhood cancer constituted 6.9% of all malignancies recorded during the study period. The top ten neoplasms in descending order of frequency were: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 434 (54.9%), retinoblastoma 89 (11.3%), nephroblastoma 50 (6.3%), epithelial carcinoma 45 (5.7%), Hodgkin's disease 38 (4.8%), soft tissue sarcoma (excluding Kaposi): 34(4.3%), Kaposi's sarcoma 32 (4.0%), malignant tumours (not specified): 20 (2.5%), acute leukaemias 18(2.3%) and osteogenic sarcoma 16 (2.0%). Some differences noted in the pattern of neoplasms in this study from those of developed and developing African countries are discussed. The findings highlight the most common childhood malignancies in Malawi where intense research should be directed so that meaningful and cost effective therapeutic intervention programmes can be planned and developed.

The surveillance, epidemiology, and end-results (SEER) data on 5-year relative survival rates (1973-1987) for the most common pediatric tumors (ages 0-14) were analyzed. The SEER data are population based, so the observed progress in survival from childhood cancer represents the real impact that development in cancer treatment had on the population followed by the registry. The greatest increase in survival rate from 1973 until 1987 has been achieved in hematopoietic tumors such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), in which survival increased from 47.6% (1973-1977) to 60.8% (1983-1987), and Burkitt's lymphoma in which survival increased from 27.6% (1973-1977) to 68.7% (1983-1987). Solid tumors showed a less steep, but steady increase in survival rates. Flattening in the survival rates since 1978-1982 has been observed for acute leukemia, astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, and osteosarcoma. Females have better survival rates for most pediatric tumors, except Hodgkin's disease. Analysis of race of childhood leukemia confirmed that black children have worse survival than white. When solid tumors were analyzed by stage at presentation, there was no indication that diagnosis in earlier stages of disease accounted for the improved survival. Observed flattening in the survival rates since 1978-1982 of leukemia and some solid tumors warrants further follow-up.
