Name the benign bone forming tumors
osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, osteoma
Name the benign cartilage forming tumors
chondroma, osteochondroma, chondroblastoma
name the benign fibrous bone lesions
fibrous dysplasia, nonossifying fibroma
name the benign radiolucent bone lesions
giant cell tumor, unicameral bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst
what’s the most common benign osteoid forming tumor?
osteoid osteoma
peak incidence of osteoid osteoma
2nd decade of life (10-30 yrs)
gender more affected by osteoid osteoma
men
location of osteoid osteoma
anywhere, but most common in long bones– proximal femur
CM of osteoid osteoma
pain; NIGHT PAIN; pain relieved with NSAIDs
pathophysiology of osteoid osteoma
neoplastic changes vs inflammatory osteoblasts
radiographic findings of osteoid osteoma
small, <1 cm lytic nidus with surrounding sclerosis; “hot” on bone scan; use CT scan to localize the lesion
Tx of osteoid osteoma
pain control/suppression with NSAIDs; if fail medical management curettage/burring to get rid of nidus, radiofrequency ablation
Prognosis of osteoid osteoma
excellent, local recurrence is rare
what’s an osteoblastoma?
large osteoid osteoma, >2 cm, more aggressive
how common is an osteoblastoma?
are, 1% of benign bone tumors
Age for osteoblastoma
1st to 3rd decade
males or females for osteoblastoma?
males
Location of osteoblastoma
posterior spine, long bones (femur, tibia)
presentation of osteoblastoma
pain, unresponsive to NSAIDs
radiographic appearance of osteoblastoma
variable, lucent, slightly expansible, no sclerotic rim, >2 cm, no nidus
Tx of osteoblastoma
biopsy, curettage and bone grafting, tumor excision with bone reconstruction vs. internal fixation
prognosis of osteoblastoma
excellent, low recurrence rate
what’s an osteoma?
deposition of reactive periosteal new bone
age for osteoma?
2nd to 4th decade
location of osteoma?
skull, tibia, femur
presentation of osteoma
firm mass with little to no pain
Osteoma is associated with what syndrome?
Gardner’s syndrome
Gardner’s syndrome
osteoma, colonic polyps, desmoid tumors
radiographic findings of osteoma
dense cortical bone, not contiguous with intramedullary canal
treatment of osteoma
observation vs. marginal resection
prognosis of osteoma
excellent, self-limiting
what’s a chondroma?
tumors contain mature hyaline cartilage
What’s an enchondroma?
within the medullary canal
enchondroma sex
no predilection
enchondroma age
3rd-4th peaks
Size of enchondroma
<5 cm
Periosteal chondroma location
surface of bone
sex periosteal chondroma
males
Which is more common enchondroma or periosteal chondroma?
enchondroma
enchondroma location
usually metaphyseal: proximal humerus, distal femur, mostly phalanges in hands and feet
presentation of enchondroma
asymptomatic, incidental finding, pain associated with pathologic fracture
Syndromes associated with enchondromas
Ollier’s disease; Maffucci’s syndrome
Ollier’s disease
multiple enchondromas
Maffucci’s syndrome
multiple enchondromas + multiple hemangiomas
enchondroma on plain film
varying presentation; stippled calcification; no cortical disruption, can be scalloped or thinned
periosteal chondroma location
usually metaphyseal: proximal humerus, distal femur, small bones in hands and feet; near tendon/ligament attachments
periosteal chondroma presentation
painful; sometimes palpable mass
periosteal chondroma on plain film
saucerization with sclerosis
Enchondroma treatment
don’t require treatment of asymptomatic; if symptomatic biopsy and curettage with bone grafting
Periosteal chondroma treatment
excision; need to r/o chondrosarcoma
What do you need to remember about a patient who comes in with pain and an enchondroma?
the enchondroma is not the source of their pain, you still need to find it
osteochondroma
cartilage-caped bony projection on the external surface of a bone; exostosis
exostosis
bone covered with cartilaginous cap
most common benign bone tumor?
osteochondroma
osteochondroma can be associated with what condition?
Multiple Hereditary Exostoses
Etiology of osteochondroma
unknown–displaced cartilage thru periosteal defect, bone grows at right angle to normal gorwth plate
osteochondroma location
femur (common at knee), tibia, humerus
sex osteochondroma
males
age osteochondroma
by 2nd decade
presentation osteochondroma
most common is asymptomatic, pain, painful mass
osteochondroma on plain film
pedunculated vs sessile stalk; will grow away from the growth plate
treatment osteochondroma
monitor if asymptomatic, surgical excision if symptomatic
prognosis osteochondroma
excellent, rarely re-occur after excision, very rarely develop into chondrosarcoma (<1%)
chondroblastoma
Cartilage forming tumor in the epiphysis due to immature cartilage cell proliferation
chondroblastoma location
prox and distal femur, prox tibia, prox humerus
