Benign bone lesions Flashcards
Small discrete, painful benign bone lesions
osteoid osteoma
Typical age of osteoid osteoma
5-25
Most common location for osteoid osteoma
Lower extremity: proximal femur>proximal tibia
Spine: thoracic and lumbar regions, posterior elements, side of concavity in scoliosis (painful in adolescents)
Hand: proximal phalanx
Foot: talar neck
What is attributed to pain of OO
PGE2 and Cox expression
Prognosis of OO
pain resolves and lesions spontaneously resolves after 5-7 years
in spine early resection leads to resolutions of scoliosis in <11yos
Presentation of OO
constant and progressive, worse at night and with ETOH, relieved by NSAIDS
Appearance on imaging
intensly reactive bone (thickened bone and fibrovascular tissue) around radiolucent nidus (central nodule of woven bone and osteoid with osteoblastic rimming)
<2 cm (if larger think osteoblastoma)
Bone scan: hot area of uptake in nidus, low uptake in reactive zone “double density sign”
long bone osteomas need to be differentiated from what
stress fracture, osteomyleitis, Ewings sarcoma
Posterior spinal elements of lesion concerning for OO need to be diff from what
ABC, osteoblastoma
Treatment of osteoid osteoma
1st line: observation, NSAIDS (also spine w/o scoliosis)
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, MR guided high intensity US - failure of medical management
Surgical resection with currettage - not amendable to above (close to skin or nerve), spine lesions with painful scoliosis
What is most common benign bone tumor in hand
enchondroma
What is an enchondroma
2nd most common benign cartilage lesion
chondroblasts escape physis
benign hyaline cartilage
asymptomatic (if symptomatic think sarcoma), sometimes pathologic fracture in hand
observation vs curettage and grafting
What is a periosteal chondroma
painful lesion in cortex of proximal humerus (small lytic area)
10-20yo
Painful due to irritation of tendons
Marginal excision including underlying cortex
Ollier’s Disease
multiple enchondromatosis, skeletal dysplasia (short, bowing)
10-15% of malignant transformation
Mafucci’s Disease
Multiple enchondromatosis and soft tissue hemangiomas
highest rate of malignant transformation (50+)
high rate of visceral malignancy
What is an osteochondroma
most common benign bone tumor
young patients 10-30
arises from cartilage of perichondral ring
Typical size of cartilage cap of osteochondroma
<1cm, if bigger then suggestive of malignant lesion
Treatment of osteochondroma
observation, but may remove if issue
Should not grow after skeletal maturity (if does think chondrosarcoma)
Multiple Hereditary Osteochondral Exostosis
AD
Multiple osteochondroma (sessile or pedunculated)
skeletal abnormalities (coxa valga, tethering of radius with bowing or tethering of fibula)
Genes for Multiple hereditary exostosis
EXT1,2,3 tumor suppressor genes (affects prehypertrophic chondrocytes causing decreased heparin sulfate production)
Loss of Indian Hedgehog Protein
What is a chondroblastoma
lytic lesion in epiphyseal or apophyseal area of bone in early teenager
treatment curettage and bone grafting
What do you see on XR and histo for chondroblastoma
Flecks of calcification on XR, abuts articular surface
chondroblasts with “chicken wire calcification” and cobblestone appears
