| Summary: | Objective The number of patients with metastatic bone tumors of the pelvis (MBTP) has increased, and the risk of metastasis and recurrence in the pelvic bones is difficult to assess. Therefore, we investigated the clinical features and oncological outcomes of patients with MBTP. Methods We analyzed the clinical features and oncological outcomes of MBTP in 72 patients (42 men, 30 women; mean age, 50.5 years) from 2008 to 2017. Recurrence in the pelvic bones and survival rates were analyzed with regard to patients’ potential contributing factors. Results Enneking region I was the area most commonly containing MBTP (47.3%). Low- and high-grade tumors were identified in 40 and 32 patients, respectively. The most common pathological type was adenomatous carcinoma (34.7%), and the most common primary lesion was lung cancer (20.8%). The 3-year overall recurrence rate within the pelvic bones was 34.7%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 29.2%. Conclusion Patients with MBTP have a high risk of recurrence in the pelvic bones and poor survival after multimodal treatment. Pelvic recurrence might be affected by the metastatic involvement, tumor grade, surgical margins, and type of surgery, whereas the survival rate tends to be associated with the tumor grade.
