Bone, Joints, and Soft tissue tumors Flashcards
osteoblasts
on surface of matrix
synthesize, transport, and assemble matrix and regulate mineralization
osteocytes
interconnected by intricate network of dendritic cytoplasmic processes via tunnels (canaliculi)
help control Ca and Phos levels and mechanotransduction
osteoclasts
specialized multinucleated macros derived from circulating monocytes
bone resorption
brachydactyly
HOXD13 TF
short terminal phalanges of first digits
achondroplasia
FGFR3
short stature, rhizomelic shortening of limbs, frontal bossing, midface deficiency
osteogenesis imperfecta
COL1A1 and COL1A2
bone fragility
osteogenesis imperfecta
blue sclera d/t missing collagen can see vv
type 1 most relevant
bc type II not compatible with life and III and IV rare
clinical features of osteogenesis imperfecta
blue sclera fractures normal stature no dentin hearing impariment joint laxity
osteopetrosis
aka marble bone disease, albers-schonberg disease
impaired formation/fnx of osteoclasts
osteopetrosis morphology
bones lack medullary canal and ends of long bones bulbous
neural foramina small and compress exiting nn
buzz words osteopetrosis
erlenmeyer flash shaped long bones
missing epiphyses
severe infantile osteopetrosis
AR evident in utero or soon after birth fractures anemia hydrocephaly postpartum mortality
osteopetrosis if survive into infancy
CN defects
infections d/t leukopenia
extramedullary hematopoiesis -> hepatosplenomegaly
mild AD form of osteopetrosis
may not be detected until adolescence or adulthood
discovered d/t multiple fractures
may have mild CN deficits and anemia
dysplasia
in bone just meets disorganization and tissue in the wrong places, not preCA
osteopenia
decreased bone mass
osteoporosis
osteopenia severe enough to increase risk of fracture
what is the most common cause of iatrogenic osteoporosis
over Tx of hypothyroidism
what CA is known to cause osteoporosis
MM
what endocrine disorders can cause osteoporosis
addisons DMI hyperparathyroid hyper/hypothyroid pituitary tumors neoplasia carcinomatosis
what are the most common forms of osteoporosis
senile
postmenopausal
clinical osteoporosis
depend on involved bones
vertebral fractures that frequently occur in T and L are painful with height loss and lumbar lordosis and kyphoscoliosis
complications of fractures
PE
pneumonia
pagets disease
aka osteitis deformans
disorder of increased, but disordered structurally unsound bone mass
hallmark of pagets
mosaic pattern of lamellar bone, seen in sclerotic phase
prominent cement lines
