[Adjuvant treatment with phenol of aggressive benign and low grade malignant bone tumors in patients with immature skeleton].
The surgical treatment of aggressive benign bone tumors is based on intralesional resection associated with local adjuvant treatment to avoid local relapses. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adjuvant treatment with phenol in aggressive, low grade, malignant and benign bone tumors in young patients. ⋯ The treatment of bone tumors with phenol shows low relapse and complication rates, so it is indicated for the management of locally aggressive bone tumors.
