28
Q

o Metastatic diseases

 Elevation of…..(4)

A

 Elevation of serum calcium (with lytic METS)–maybe
 Elevation of alkaline phosphatase (with blastic METS)
 Elevation of ESR
 Elevated acid phosphatase (with prostate METS)

29
Q
  • A neoplasm can spread via CSF.
  • Symptoms can be subtle.
  • MRI may show nodular thickening of the meninges.
  • Most common location for METS to “seed” is the L/S due to the presence of gravity.
A

 Drop METS

30
Q
  • Blood stream is the most important and major pathway!!
  • Either arterial or venous (M/C cells penetrate venous system—arterial system seems to be resistant to neoplastic invasion)
  • Batson’s Venous Plexus is the largest source of METS to the spine. Decrease in the intralaminar pressure with no intrathoracic or abdominal pressure creates slow flow, as well as variable direction, favors the likelihood of cell deposition.
A

 Hematogenous dissemination

31
Q

Cancers & METs

Men vs. women

Children (<20 y/o)

A

 Women = breast cancer (70% of osseous METs)
 Men = prostate cancer (60%) and lung cancer (25%)

Children

  • 80% = neuroblastoma
  • 50% = Hodgkin’s lymphoma
32
Q

 Tumor cells will deposit in the bone marrow
 Pressure from proliferating neoplasm on the surrounding bone, causes resorption of trabeculae, creating the lytic appearance.
 Osteoclasts play only a minor role

A

o Lytic METS

33
Q

 The increased density is due to the laying down of new bone (non-neoplastic cause)
 It is osseous reaction to the tumor ———futile attempt to save the body by the bone :( —
 Many benign conditions can simulate blastic METS
 There is generalized sclerotic change of the axial skeleton, including pelvis, spine, and ribs.
 The tumors most likely to metastasize to bone are carcinoma of the: lung, kidney, thyroid, and breast
 Typically seen in C2

A

o Blastic METS

34
Q

 Is a term used to describe a lytic metastatic focus that creates a “soap- bubble” appearance. (remember the ‘M’ in ‘fogmachines’?)
 Usually the only example of a solitary lesion of METS.
 Seen with renal or thyroid cancers.
