Cortical expansion
35
Agressive neoplasm growth does not permit cortical growth and breaks through the cortex of bone
Cortical perforation
36
Conditions that irritate the periosteum and cause it to lay down multiple layers of periosteal bone display this appearance
Onion skinning
37
Malignant tumors of bone expand so rapidly into soft tissue that they take striae of periosteal bone with them, and create a distinct pattern, as seen in osteosarcoma.
