Q

What do chondroblastomas stain postive for

A

S100

24
Q

What do chondroblastomas and GCT have in common

A

can present with mets to lung

Also lesion may present with areas of secondary ABC

25
Q

“Popcorn stippling” bone lesion

A

enchondroma

26
Q

Similiar to osteoid osteoma but >2cm and painful, lytic in spine, blastic in extremities

A

Osteoblastoma

lacks peripheral bony reaction (diff. from OO)

Curettage and grafting, radiation if unresectable

27
Q

middle aged, eccentric lytic lesion in metaphysis of in distal femur, distal tibia, distal radius; extends to subchondral surface, metaphyseal side of physis in kids, Cmyc or P53

A

Giant cell tumor

multinucleated giant cells

28
Q

Treatment of giant cell tumor of bone

A

curettage and local adjuvent treatment (PMMA/freeze/phenol/argon)

could try bisphosphonates (N containing, inhibit farnesyl pyrophospate synthase on osteoclast)

Denosumab (prolia) antibody against RANKL, decreases size of lesion

29
Q

How should teriperatide be given

A

Forteo, synthetic PTH

daily to prevent resorption of bone, receptor on osteoblast

if continuous will cause resorption of bone

30
Q

What must be ordered with Giant Cell Tumor

A

CT chest: mets to lung

31
Q

Teenage with expansive, eccentric lytic lesion with bony septae, seen in calcaneous or metatarsals*

A

ABC, can be in posterior elements of spine

Curettage and grafting

32
Q

What is differntial for ABC lesions

A

telangiectatic osteosarcoma

33
Q

Gene translocations of ABC lesion

A

t(16;17) upregulation of USP6

34
Q

Young kid with fallen fragment sign in proximal femur or humerus

A

Unicameral bone cyst

observation but may aspirate and inject with steroid

if risk of fracture, curettage and bone graft

“active if adjacent with physis” latent if not

35
Q

How to treat UBC with fracture

A

treat fracture conservatively then deal with UBC

36
Q

Intrameduallary smoke up chimney sign

A

Bone infarct

same risk factors as osteonecrosis

observation

37
Q

young kid lytic lesion with periosteal reaction, skull, ribs, long bones, spine, kidney bean shape nuclei with eosinophils

A

Eosinophilic granuloma (langerhand histiocytosis), racquet shaped organelle in EM

Treatment curettge and grafting, radiation if very symptomatic

38
Q

A

Osteoid osteoma

distinct demarcation between nidus and reactive bone

Nidus: immature osteoid trabeculae (woven bone) with sharp boarder of osteoblastic rimming
