Bone Tumours Flashcards
Exostoses?
- A clinical term used to describe some bony non-neoplastic overgrowths.
- Developmental, in response to chronic trauma (reactive
exostosis) or following surgery.
Torus?
- An exostosis which occurs at a specific location:
- Midline of the palate (torus palatinus).
- Lingual surface of the mandible in the premolar region
(torus mandibularis).
Top vs bottom image?
Torus palatinus
Torus lingualis
What is more common torus palatinus or torus lingualis?
Torus palatinus
Torus palatinus malignant or benign?
Benign
Features of bony exostosis?
Cortical bone or cancellous with. a shell of cortical bone
Tori shown here?
Buccal exostoses
Maxillary buccal alveolus, in molar region
Dense bone island?
- Localized area of sclerotic bone.
- Idiopathic osteosclerosis.
- Chance finding on radiographs.
Location of dense bony island?
Mandibular molar- premolar region.
Features of dense bone island?
Well defined dense sclerotic areas.
Can any cells become neoplastic?
Any cells
Cartilage
Blood cells
Bone cells
What is shown?
Enostosis - dense bone island
Well defined dense sclerotic areas.
What to differentiate dense bone island from?
Differentiation from lesions resulting from periapical
inflammation and from cemento-osseous dysplasia.
Benign Bon tumours?
- Osteoma
- Osteoblastoma
- Chondroma
- Chondromyxoid fibroma
- Chondroblastoma
- Ossifying fibroma
- Haemangioma
(hamartoma)
Malignant tumours of bone?
- Osteosarcoma
- Ewing’s sarcoma
- Chondrosarcoma
- Myeloma
- Langerhans cell
histiocytosis (tumour like) - Metastatic tumours
Being in bone forming tumours?

Osteoma?
- Benign slow growing tumour.
- Well differentiated mature bone.
- Central or subperiosteal lesion.
- most frequent in paranasal sinuses.
- Majority diagnosed in adult life.
Tumour
Osteoma
Most frequent Osteoma location?
Paranasal sinus
Bone type of Osteoma?
Mature bone
Hstopathology of Osteoma?
Compact:
* A mass of dense lamellar bone with few marrow
spaces.
Cancellous:
* interconnecting trabeculae enclosing fatty or fibrous
marrow.
Compact Osteoma
What is Gardner syndrome?
OSTEOMA
- Rare autosomal dominant disorder.
- Multiple osteomas of the jaws.
- Polyposis coli with a marked tendency for malignant change.
- Multiple fibrous tumours.
- Epidermal, sebacaeous cysts of the skin.
- Multiple impacted permanent and supernumerary teeth.
What is shown?
2 compact Osteoma
Osteoblastoma?
- Osteoid osteoma.
- Rare in the jaws.
- Clinical presentation: Swelling and nocturnal pain.
- Radiography: Rounded well defined radiolucent or speckled
lesion. - Histopathology: plump osteoblasts and broad trabeculae of
unmineralized osteoid.
Clinical presentation of osteoblastoma?
Swelling and nocturnal pain.
What tumour is shown?
Benign bone forming tumour
Osteoblastoma
Histopathology ofosteoblastoma?
plump osteoblasts and broad trabeculae of unmineralized osteoid.
Most common malignant bone tumour?
Osteosarcoma
Age group for osteosarcoma?
Children and adolescents, but many in patients around 30 (a
decade later than the rest of the body.
* Could present later in life with Paget’s disease of bone.
Clinical presentation of osteosarcoma?
- Swelling
- Pain
- Parasthesia
