40
Q

Histopatholgy of osteosarcoma?

A
  • Formation of abnormal osteoid or bone by malignant
    osteoblasts.
  • May arise centrally within the jaws or peripherally, in
    relation to the periosteum.
  • Central and periosteal osteosarcomas are high- grade
    neoplasms.
  • Telangiectatic osteosarcomas, present as rapidly
    expanding, high- grade tumours containing blood- filled
    spaces.
  • Parosteal osteosarcoma is less aggressive.
41
Q

Management of osteosarcoma?

A
  • High- grade osteosarcomas have a high rate of metastasis.
  • Patients are staged using imaging prior to treatment.
  • Chemotherapy is normally used first and then the primary
    tumour is excised.
  • Response to the drug can then be assessed; sometimes the resected tumour is completely necrotic.

Distinctive bone tumours form part of the ‘small, dark, round
cell’ neoplasms occurring in children and adolescents.

often part of disseminated disease.
* Treated by chemotherapy followed by resection.
* Over 50% show complete response to treatment.

43
Q

    hyperparathyrodism (hyperparathyroidism jaw tumour
    syndrome).
66

Q

3 clinical forms of langerhans cell histocytosis?

A

A spectrum of disease, but presents in 3 clinical forms:

  • Hand-Schuler-Christian disease (multifocal).
  • Letterer-Siwe disease (disseminates multi-organ).
68
Q

Clinical presentation of langerhans cell histiocytosis?

A

Eosinophilic granuloma:
* Appears in the skeleton mainly, sometimes in the soft tissue.
* Any bone can be affected, cranium and jaws are common sites.
* More common in the mandible.
* Mostly in children and young adults.
* Males affected twice as commonly as females.
* Jaw lesions may cause bony swelling, soft tissue masses, gingivitis,
bleeding gingivae, pain and ulceration.
