Homer Wright rosettes

18
Q

Location of involvement of echondroma

A

Medullary cavity of small bones (hands + feet)

19
Q

Location of involvement of secondary osteosarcoma

A

Femur, pelvis, humerus

20
Q

Etiology of Ewing sarcoma

A

t(11;22) –> fusion protein EWS-FLI1

21
Q

Location of involvement of Ewing sarcoma

A

Diaphysis of long bones

22
Q

Tumor of osteoblasts that make large amounts of RANKL, stimulating osteoclasts to grow

A

Giant cell tumor

23
Q

Location of involvement of osteoid osteoma

A

Diaphysis of long bones (e.g. femur) within cortex

24
Q

Two diseases that appear same on imaging

A

Echondroma + chondrosarcoma- both appear lucent w/ internal mineralization

25
Q

Location of chondrosarcoma involvement

A

Medulla of pelvis or axial skeleton (shoulder, pelvis, proximal femur, ribs)

26
Q

Multiple echondroma disorders (2)

A

Ollier disease, Maffuci syndrome; associated w/ multiple sites of echondromas; increased risk of chondrosarcoma

27
Q

Histology of osteosarcoma (primary and secondary)

A

Malignant osteoblasts forming osteoid (disorganized pink matrix)

28
Q

Bone pain that resolves w/ ASA

A

Osteoid osteoma

29
Q

Location of involvement of primary osteosarcoma

A

Metaphysis of long bones, usually around the knee (distal femur, proximal tibia)

30
Q

Histology of giant cell tumors

A

multinucleated giant cells that express RANKL

31
Q

Symptoms of Ewing sarcoma

A

Painful, enlarging mass that’s frequently tender, warm, swollen

Systemic findings: fever, anemia, leukocytosis

32
Q

Histology of osteoid osteoma

A

Woven bone w/ prominent osteoblasts + rim of reactive cortical bone

33
Q

Differences between osteoid osteoma + osteoblastoma (3)

A

1) Location of involvement: osteoid osteoma involves diaphysis of long bones while osteoblastoma involves vertebrae.
2) Size- osteoid osteoma is less than 2 cm; osteoblastoma is larger than 2 cm
3) Aspirin- osteoid osteoma bone pain resolves with ASA; osteoblastoma bone pain doesn’t resolve w/ ASA

34
Q

Common location of osteomas

A

Facial bones/ skull

35
Q

Symptoms of osteosarcoma

A

Bone pain, pathologic fractures. No systemic sx.

A

Osteochondroma

39
Q

A

Echondroma

40
Q

Soap bubble appearance on x-ray

A

Giant cell tumor

41
Q

Location of giant cell tumor involvement
