bone, joint, soft tissue 2 Flashcards
what cartilage tumor is more common in younger people
enchondroma
benign
what cartilage tumor is more common in older people
chondrosarcoma
malignant
osteochondroma
aka exostosis
benign cartilage-capped tumor that is attacehd to underlying skeleton by bony stalk
most common benign bone tumor
85% solitary
osteochondroma morphology
sessile or pedunculated
1-20cm
cap is benign hyaline cartilagecovered in perichondrium
osteochondroma x-ray
can see mm pull lines
osteochondroma clinical
usually stop growing at time of growth plate closure
symptomatic tumors are cured by simple excision
multiple hereditary exostosis
5-20% progress to chondosarcoma
chondromas
benign tumors of hyaline cartilage that usually occur in bones of enchondral origin
chondromas that arise in medullary cavity
enchondromas
chondromas that arise on surface of bone
juxtacortical chondromas
enchondromas
most common intraosseous cartilage tumros
20-50
appear as soliatry metaphyseal lesions of tubular bones of hand and feet
chondromas xray
circumscribed lucencies with central irregular calcifications, sclerotic rim and intact Cx
<3cm
what NONHEREDITARY disorders can cause multiple enchondromas
ollier disease
maffucci syndrome
can both be more cellular with cytologic atypia
chondromas clinical
growth potential limited
Tx-usually observation or curettage
solitary rarely undergo sarcomatous transformation
maffucci syndrome
also have spindle cell hemangiomas
at risk for ovarian carcinomas and brain gliomas
chondrosarcoma
malignant tumors that produce cartilage
2nd most common malignant tumor of bone
usually 40+
where do chondrosarcomas commonly arise
axial skeleton, pelvis, shoulder, ribs
chondrosarcomas xray
calcified matrix appears as foci of flocculent densities
