OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment modalities of 73 @entity1 with benign and @entity5 and infections from a single institution. @entity1 AND METHODS: Seventy-three @entity1 (42 males, 31 females; mean age 48.9 years), who were treated between July 1991 and December 2013, with benign, @entity5 , and infections of the sacrum were retrospectively analyzed for a mean follow-up period of 25.4 months, and a review of the literature was conducted. While 36 @entity1 were treated surgically, 37 were treated medically. Fifty-four @entity1 were diagnosed with malign, and 19 with benign or @entity5 . RESULTS: In 54 @entity1 with @entity5 , @entity3 was the most common diagnosis in 20 @entity1 followed by @entity3580 in 11, and multiple @entity1582 in 10 @entity1 . Common benign lesions were @entity4034 in four @entity1 , and @entity2967 and @entity808 in three @entity1 each. Local recurrence was most commonly observed in the @entity3580 and @entity511 groups with a rate of 50%. Seven @entity1 including five with metastatic disease, one with @entity511 , and one with @entity3580 died during follow-ups. While urinary and anal incontinence developed in seven @entity1 after sacral resection, deep @entity281 was reported in four, and superficial @entity281 was reported in two @entity1 . CONCLUSION: Because of the high complication rates in @entity5 , we should perform wide resections with partial or total sacrectomy. @entity3580 and @entity511 @entity1 should be screened closely due to a possible recurrence risk after sacrectomy while preserving the nerve roots as possible. @entity146 curettage should be combined with adjuvant methods in benign lesions due to high recurrence rates in sacral localization.

Management and retrospective analysis of primary and metastatic XXXX and infections: evaluation with 73 cases.
