Bone Tumors Flashcards
Prominent osteoblasts w/ rim of reactive cortical bone
Osteoid osteoma + osteoblastoma
Symptoms of chondrosarcoma
Painful, progressively enlarging mass
Location of involvement of osteochondromas
Metaphysis of long tubular bones esp. near knee
Location of giant cell tumor involvement
Epiphysis of long bones
Osteolytic bone metastasis
Breast, kidney, lung mets
Associated w/ Gardner syndrome
Osteoma
Gardner syndrome= FAP + osteoma + fibromatosis of retroperitoneum
Benign bone forming tumors (3)
1) Osteoma
2) Osteoid osteoma
3) Osteoblastoma
Malignant proliferation of poorly differentiated cells derived from neuroectoderm
Ewing sarcoma
Difference between osteochondroma + hereditary multiple exostosis
Multiple herediatry exostosis has significantly increased risk for chondrosarcoma
Imaging findings for osteoid osteoma + osteoblastoma
Radiodense bony mass w/ lucent core (osteoid) within cortex
Risk factors/ epidemiology of primary osteosarcoma
Risk factors: Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Familial retinoblastoma, radiation
Epidemiology: Teenagers
Osteoblastic metastasis
From prostate CA
Histology: Disorganized cartilage in growth plate
Osteochondroma
Risk factors/ epidemiology of secondary osteosarcoma
1) Radiation
2) Paget disease
3) Bone infarcts
Malignant proliferation of osteoblasts
Osteosarcoma
Benign cartilage forming tumors (2)
1) Osteochondroma (& multiple hereditary exostosis- increased risk for chondrosarcoma)
2) Echondroma (& multiple echondroma disorders- increased risk for chondrosarcoma)
