Inflammatory/ neoplasia Bone dz Flashcards
Osteitis
Inflammation of bone
-general term
Periostitis
Inflammation of periosteum
Osteomyelitis
Inflammation of medullary cavity
-most common inflammatory condition
Bone sequestrum
- Fragment of dead bone
- surrounded by inflammatory cells and exudate
(chronicity –> involucrum)
Involucrum
Sequestrum surrounded by DENSE RING of reactive bone
Infectious Osteomyelitis
- most common in neonatal farm animals
- hematogenous distribution
-Fungi are more common in domestic animals
Viral osteomyelitis
-Viruses w/ true inflammation
- Hog cholera
- Canine hepatits virus
–> endothelial damage –> metaphyseal hemorrhage
Viral osteomyelitis
-Virus w/o true infection
- Distemper virus
- Osteoclast infection –> growth retardation lattice (disrupt growth plate modeling)
- FeLV
- infection/necrosis of hematopoietic cells –> myelosclerosis
Metaphyseal Osteopathy
Osteomyelitis of trabecular bone w/ periosteal bone formation
- Multiple swollen joints & fever
- Young, Lg breed dogs
Oblasts die & matrix reduces –> trabeculae collapse –> (Bilateral) parallel fracture at growth plate
Rads of Metaphyseal osteopathy
Alternatig dense and lucent areas parallel to physis
BILATERAL
Aseptic necrosis of bone
- Retain growth plate
- lack mineralization
Legg Calve Perthes Dz
Asceptic necrosis of femoral head –> collapse of articular cartilage
–Miniature dogs
Clincal signs of Bone neoplasias
- lameness
- pain
- hypercalcemia
- increase ALP
- fractures
Tumors w/ abundant fibrous stroma –>
NEW bone formation
Tumors w/ little stroma (lymphoma) –> no bone/lysis
Hypertrophic osteopathy
Progressive, bilateral periosteal bone formation of diaphysis of distal limbs
Always have some kind of space occupying mass
