23
Q

Within all OI, the fundamental abnormality is

A

too little bone

24
Q

OI type I

A

Hearing loss (ossicles), Dental imperfections (abnormal dentin).

25
Q

type II OI

A

usually lethal in utero or within days after birth. Excessive bone fragility with multiple bone fractures while the fetus is in the uterus. Blue sclerae.

26
Q

type III OI

A

Severe clinical form in children surviving the perinatal period. Multiple fractures, progressive deformities. The sclerae are normal.

27
Q

type IV OI

A

Compatible with survival. Short stature, moderate skeletal fragility.

28
Q

which types of OI are most compatible with life

A

I, IV

29
Q

Blue sclerae, dental abnormalities

A

OI

30
Q

Brown, short teeth result from

A

failure in the formation of dentin(dentinogenesis imperfecta)

31
Q

osteoclast deficiency/abnormality resulting in

A

osteosclerosis

32
Q

There is failure to resorb calcified cartilage in the growth plate.

A

osteopetrosis

33
Q

vitamin D deficiency

A

rickets/osteomalacia

34
Q

excess of unmineralized bone matrix

A

rickets/osteomalacia

35
Q

Overgrowth of growthplate at costochondral junction

A

rickets

36
Q

Rachitic rosary due to

A

pull on costochondral cartilage –also due to the pull of the respirtaory muscles with bending of the ribs inward resulting in pidgeon breast deformity

37
Q

osteomalacia findings

A

Prominent unmineralized osteoid in bone, weak bone, vulnerable to fractures (mostly vertebrae and femoral neck).

38
Q

are there similar skeletal deformities in osteomalacia?

A

no. bone is already formed

39
Q

differentiating osteomalacia from osteopetrosis

A

osteomalacia: decreased mineralized bone, same hyper cartilage

40
Q

lucent lines (pseudo fractures)

A

osteomalacia

41
Q

When mechanical stress is placed upon bone, osteoprogenitor cells produce WNT proteins that bind to receptors on osteoblasts, increasing β-catenin. As a result, what protein is most likely to diminish osteoclast activity and increase bone formation?

A

osteoprotegerin

can bind RANK ligand to reduce its binding to RANK and reduce the nuclear factor kappa B transcription factor and diminish osteoclast activity.

42
Q

cranial nerve involvement

A

osteopetrosis

43
Q

multiple osteomas associated with

A

Gardner’s syndrome

44
Q

metastatic bone lesions favor

sites

A

axial skeleton, proximal long bones

45
Q

prostatic mets are (lytic or blastic)

A

blastic- denser

46
Q

thyroid mets are (lytic or blastic)

A

lytic- much looser

47
Q

gardner’s syndrome findings

A

osteomas, epidermal cysts, fibromatoses and

colonic adenomatous polyposis

48
Q

sharp, nocturnal pain relieved by aspirin

A

osteoid osteoma

49
Q

duller pain not relieved by aspirin

A

osteoblastoma

50
Q

which is larger- osteoid osteoma or osteoblastoma

A

osteoblastoma > 2 cm

51
Q

enchondromatosis

A

more likely to undergo malignant transformation

52
Q

maffuccis’s

A

chondromas associated with angiomas

53
Q

malignancies associated with maffucci’s

A

ovary and brain malignancies

54
Q

genetic syndromes associated with soft tissue tumors

A

NF1, FAP

55
Q

HHV-8 associated with

A

Kaposi’s sarcoma

56
Q

Gardner’s syndrome

A

Fibromatosis of the mesentery
Adenomas and Colon cancer
Osteomas of bone
Mutation in APC gene on chromosome 5

57
Q

polyostotic FD+ endocrinopathy (precocious puberty) and skin pigmentation

A

Albright- McCune syndrome
