What are the 4 primary osteogenic benign tumors?
Osteoid Osteoma
Osteoblastoma
Osteoma
Enostoma
Consists of highly vascularized nidus of CT
Lucency (lucent nidus) less than 1 to 1.5cm in diameter surrounded by reactive sclerosis
Most commonly cortical based lesion
Most common locations: Femur, Tibia
Age of onset: 7-25
= what benign bone tumor
Osteoid Osteoma
Lucency with surrounding sclerosis (similar to osteoid osteoma though not as prominent)
Lucency typically larger than that seen with osteoid osteoma
Lucent nidus greater than 1.5-2cm
Eccentrically based medullary lesion
Located typically within the metaphysis or diaphysis
Second pattern: soap bubbly, expansile, lucent lesion
= what benign bone tumor
Osteoblastoma
Protrude from surface of bone
Most common locations: skull & sinuses
Mutiple lesions of this type is a feature of Gardner syndrome
Dense, well-define lesion, typically less than 2cm
Osteoma

3rd MC primary malignant tumor of bone
Two types: Cental & Peripheral
Osteolytic lesion w/ long zone of transition/poorly defined
Soft tissue mass often w/ calcification
Endosteum scalloping & bony expansion may be present
= what malignant cartilaginous tumor
Chondrosarcoma
What condition results in the appearence of these radiographs?


What condition results in the appearence of these radiographs?


Age of onset = 4-8
MC location = lower extremities
Well defined lucency, cortical based
Typically between 1-3 cm in size
Often demonstrates a thin rim of sclerosis
May have a soap bubbly appearance
MC metaphyseal in location
= what beningn fibrous tumor

What condition results in the appearence of these radiographs?


Age of onset = 8-20
MC location = lower extremity
Lucent well defined lesion
Most commonly metaphyseal
Eccentrically located in medullary bone adjacent to/involving cortex
