Meanings of intralesional curettage in English

Three underwent a second intralesional curettage and had no further recurrence.

Two patients developed local recurrence, both after intralesional curettage.

Nonetheless, intralesional curettage resulted in better functional outcome.

Background: Data regarding outcomes following intralesional curettage and cryosurgical treatment of low-grade chondrosarcoma of bone are limited.

Sixty-four patients were treated by intralesional curettage.

We conclude that meticulous intralesional curettage alone can achieve low rates of local recurrence and excellent long-term function.

We undertook this retrospective study to determine the rate of recurrence and functional outcome after intralesional curettage for chondroblastoma of bone.

We reviewed 53 patients with histologically-proven chondroblastoma who were treated by intralesional curettage in our unit between 1974 and 2000.

Methods: Forty-three low-grade chondrosarcoma lesions (in forty-two patients) were treated with intralesional curettage and cryosurgery from June 1983 to October 2006.

Conclusions: Intralesional curettage and cryosurgery for low-grade chondrosarcoma is safe and effective in selected patients.
