Osteosarcoma
True or false; typically osteosarcomas are not painful
false; typically very painful
True or false; cartilage forming tumors are MC benign
true
Osteochondroma - a benign tumor of cartilage MC forms where?
Knee
True or false; osteochondromas are typically multiple in presentation
false; MC solitary - multiple are hereditary (comes with increased sarcoma risk)
A patient with hereditary multiple osteochondromas are typically what age group and gender?
10-30 year old males`
Are chondromas typically benign or malignant? Unilateral or bilateral? Are they painful?
Benign
MC unilateral
MC asymptomatic
Chondromas found in the hand are MC where?
Proximal phalanges
What is more common, chondrosarcomas or osteochondromas
osteochondromas
True or false; chondrosarcomas are MC found intramedullary and rare in distal extremities
true
There are two kinds of chondrosarcomas - Low-grade and High-grade; which is MC? Are they both painful?
Low-grade MC
Yes
High-grade chondrosarcomas are less common than low-grade, but are more likely to metastasize. Where is MC place they would metastasize to?
Lungs
Where would you most likely find chondrosarcomas?
Shoulder, pelvis, or proximal femur
Which malignant bone tumor contains primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs)
Ewing sarcoma
True or false; Both fibrous cortical defects (FCD) & Nonossifying fibromas (NOF) are not true neoplasms
true
What are fibrous cortical defects and nonossifying fibromas?
Benign lesions: fibroblasts and macrophages
Where is the MC place a fibrous cortical defect or nonossifying tumor would occur? Are they typically painful?
MC distal femur (knee)
MC asymptomatic
True or false; typically nonossifying tumors and fibrous cortical defects self resolve in 2-3 years
true
What is fibrous dysplasia? Where do they all come from
Benign lesion - failure of bony differentiation
All from spontaneous GNAS mutations
What are the two kinds of fibrous dysplasia? Which is MC?
Monostotic (one bone effected)
Polyostotic (more than one bone)
Monostotic MC
In monostotic fibrous dysplasia what is the MC bone effected? is it present at birth?
Ribs
No, typically between ages 10-30
Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia which is less common than monostotic effects more than one bone. Which bones are MC effected? Is it more progressive than monostotic?
Femur
Yes - very progressive
