10-Bone tumors Flashcards
What are the different patterns of bone destruction?
name it increasing malignancy.
geographic (benign)
moth-eaten
permeative (most malignant)
Describe the geographic pattern of bone destruction.
- least destructive, slowly developing, usually benign or low-grade malignancy
- *well-defined zone of transition that separates the lesion from normal appearing bone
What is the most common benign primary bone tumor?
osteochondroma
what is the most common malignant primary bone tumor?
multiple myeloma
describe the permeative pattern of bone destruction.
- most aggressive and rapidly progressive malignant process
- *zone of transition is poorly defined and is very wide
name the malignant bone tumors of the foot.
- chondrosarcoma
- osteosarcoma
- periosteal sarcoma
- ewings sarcoma
- fibrosarcoma
- multiple myeloma
describe the moth-eaten pattern of bone destruction.
- is a more rapidly destructive process than geographic;
- has an intermediate zone of transition that is wide and less well-defined
name the benign bone tumors of the foot.
*mnemonic: FOG MACHINES
- fibrous dysplasia
- osteochondroma
- giant cell tumor
- myeloma
- aneurysmal bone cyst
- chondroblastoma, chondromyxoid fibroma, clear cell
- hemangioma
- infection
- non-ossifying fibroma
- eosinophilic granuloma, enchondroma, epidermal
- inclusion cyst
- solitary bone cyst
what are the different patterns of periosteal reactions
- single layer- benign but sometimes malignant
- onion skin- malignant, multiple layers of periosteum
- sunburst- spiculated rays
- hair on end- parallel rays
- codman triangle- triangular elevation of periosteum
what are the most common cancers that metastasize to the foot?
- breast
- prostate
- lung
- kidney
what bone tumors do not form matrix?
“BEG” to see the Matrix (but can’t form it)
- bone cysts
- ewings sarcoma
- giant cell tumor
what primary bone tumors are more frequent in females?
“GAP” tumors are more common in females
- giant cell tumor
- ABC (aneurysmal bone cyst)
- parosteal osteosarcoma
Name some bone tumors that are located in the epiphysis.
“ECG”
- chondroblastoma
- giant cell tumor (forms in metaphysis though)
name some bone tumors found in the metaphysis.
“FACE UP GMO”
- non-ossifying fibroma
- aneurysmal bone cyst
- chondrosarcoma
- enchondroma (also diaphyseal)
- unicameral bone cyst
- parosteal osteosarcoma
- osteochodnroma
- giant cell tumor (extends into epiphysis)
- medullary osteosarcoma
- parosteal osteosarcoma
name some bone tumors found in the diaphysis.
“EE, POO”
- osteoid osteoma
- osteoblastoma
- enchondroma (also metaphyseal)
- ewings sarcoma (also meta-diaphysis)
- periosteal osteosarcoma
