Diagnostic Imaging Flashcards
osteochondroma
MC benign bone tumor of the appendicular skeleton
either pedunculated (coat hanger exostosis/cauliflower) or sessile
20% undergo malingnancy
multiple osteochrondroma
hereditary multiple exostosis
unicameral bone cyst
Simple bone cyst
diaphyseal/metaphyseal location, centrally located, <20yo
aneuysmal bone cyst
diaphyseal/metaphyseal location, eccentrically located, <20yo
giant cell tumor
epiphyseal/metaphyseal location, 20-40yo, 20% of the time quasi-malignant
chondroblastoma
epipyseal/metaphyseal location, <20yo
osteoid osteoma
nightpain releived by aspirin
radiolucent central nidus with severe reactive sclerosis
brodie’s abscess
AKA chronic osteomyelitis
night pain relieved by aspirin; appears like an osteoid osteoma
enchondroma
MC BBT of hand. may have a stippled appearance
enchroncroma with soft tissue calcification
Maffucci’s syndrome
multiple enchrondromas
ollier’s disease
10-50% malignant degeneration
hemangioma
MC BBT of spine
will appear with vertical striations (corduroy cloth appearane)
enostoma
bone island
round or oblong radiopaque lesion
osteopoiklilosis
multiple bone islands
osteoblastoma
MC BBT to affect neural arch
osteoma
MC BBT of skull
MC found in frontal sinus and best seen on the Caldwell projection
fibrous dysplasia
monostotic form (70%) associated “rind sign”
pollystotic form (30%)
physiologic resorption of normal bone replaced by fibrous tissue
causes saber shin tibia, shepard’s rook, ground glass appearance, cafe au lait spots, coast of Maine appearance
neurofibromatosis
familial history
patient may present with scoliosis, cervical kyphosis, vertebral body scalloping with IVF enlargement
cafe au lait spot
coast of Maine appearance
multiple myeloma
> 50, cachexia, weight loss, anemia, most common primary malignancy of bone, malignant proliferation of plasma cells infiltrating bone marrow
normocytic normochromic
multiple diark densities that are similar in size (punched out lesions), can cause pathological collapse
rain drop skull
labs associated wtiht mulitple myeloma
M spike on immunoelectrophoresis reversal of A/G ratio bence-Jones proteinuria elevated ESR cold bone scan
metastatic disease
lytic and blastic
most common malignnant tumor of bone
lytic metastasis
> 40yo recent unexplained weight loss, skeletal pain worse at night
trabeculae reabsorbed turn the bone karder in color. moth eaten or permeative pattern of destrucion
“eats” pedicle of bone
swiss cheese appearance in skull
labs associated with kytic metastasis
alkaline phosphatase
hot bone scan
hodgkin’s disease
most common form of metastasis in ages 20-40
ivory white vertebrae with anterior body scalloping
unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy in causasian males seen in PA chest view
need biopsy to confirm (reed sternberg cells)
