metastatic carcinoma is the most common neoplasm _____
located in bone
multiple myeloma is the most common malignant neoplasm _____
arising within bone
osteosarcoma is the most common malignant neoplasm _____
arising from bone
what are the intra osseous malignant neoplasms
- metastatic carcinoma
- multiple myeloma
- osteosarcoma
which of the intraosseous malignant neoplasms are primary and which is secondary
- metastatic carcinoma: secondary
- multiple myeloma: primary
- osteosarcoma: primary
describe osteosarcoma
- a malignant neoplasm in which either bone or osteoid is directly produced by the malignant stroma
- osteosarcoma may also produce
- chondroid: chondroblastic osteosarcoma
- collagen: fibroblast osteosarcoma
where are the sites of osteosarcom
- most common site is long bones around knee
- head and neck less than 10%
what are the signs and symptoms of osteosarcoma
- pain- earliest symptom
- swelling
- pain and swelling - 50%
- frequent history of dental extraction
what is the radiographic appearance of osteosarcoma
- lytic or sclerotic
- ill defined margins
- variable sunburst pattern- osteophytes
- variable localized symmetrical widening of periodontal ligament space (PDL)
what is the disease associated with generalized widening of the PDL space
scleroderma
what is the disease associated with localized widening of PDL
osteosarcoma
what is the treatment and prognosis of osteosarcoma
- combination surgery and chemotherapy
- neo-adjuvant (peroperative) chemotherapy
- radical surgical resection
- adjuvant (postoperative) chemotherapy
describe bone neoplasia in paget disease and what is the most common sarcoma complication of paget disease
- pagetic bone exhibits higher incidence of benign and malignant neoplasms
- osteosarcoma is the most common sarcoma complication paget disease
describe post irradiation bone sarcoma
- frequency realted to radiation dose
- osteosarcoma most common type of post irradiation sarcoma
- fibrosarcoma and chondrosarcoma
- histologic features and prognosis identical for de novo tumors
what is the definition of chondrosarcoma
- a malignant neoplasm in which cartilage is directly produced by the malignant stroma
- osteoid is not produced
