MSK Flashcards
Liposclerosing Myxofibroma
Intertrochanteric lytic lesion with sclerotic margin. 10% malignant degeneration.
Radiation induced benign skeletal tumor.
Osteochondroma
Multiple hereditary ostosis inheritance pattern is?
Autosomal dominant.
Trevor disease
Epiphyseal osteochondromas.
Supracondylar (avian) spur
Normal variant. Ligament of Struthers compress the median nerve.
Cortical desmoid. What is it?
Scoop like lucency at posterior medial aspect of distal femoral metaphysis. Don’t biopsy it. Don’t MRI it.
Most common locations of calcific tendinitis in calcium hydroxyapatite deposition disease. 2
Supraspinatus tendon.
Longus colli muscle: anterior atlas to T3.
Calcium hydroxyapatite deposition disease causes:
Primary (idiopathic) Secondary: -chronic renal disease -Collagen vascular disease -Tumoral calcinosis - Hypervitaminosis D
 Osteopoikilosis, versus Mets?
Osteopoikilosis is joint centered.
Engelman‘s disease
Fusiform osseous enlargement with sclerosis of the long bones. Bilateral symmetric. Hot on bone scan.
AVN signs:
Double line sign: T2 inner outer dark.
Rim sign: high T2 middle with two low signal lines.
Crescent sign: xray frog leg view subchondral lucency.
What are the three phases of Paget disease In order
Lytic to mixed to sclerotic
What are the subtypes of Paget disease
Monostatic and polyostotic subtypes
What’s the most common complication of Paget’s disease
Deafness
What’s the most common tumor can arise from Paget’s disease
Osteosarcoma.
Rarely giant cell tumor.
Paget’s disease complications
Deafness. Spinal stenosis. Cranial nerve paresis. Congestive heart failure (high output). Secondary hyperparathyroidism. Osteosarcoma.
Ivory vertebrae
Paget’s disease
Picture frame vertebrae
Paget’s disease
Rugger jersey spine
Sandwich vertebra
Renal osteodystrophy
And
Osteopetrosis
H shaped vertebrae
Sickle cell disease
Gaucher’s disease
How to differentiate between active Paget’s disease versus malignant transformation?
Malignant transformation will lose the normal T1 Signal. Best assessed on T1 pre contrast images
Anterior lateral unilateral tibial bowing? Diagnosis
NF-1
Lateral bilateral symmetrical tibial Bowing Any patient between 18 months to two years? Diagnosis
Physiologic bowing
Lateral osseous bowing In a newborn
Hypophosphatasia
Lateral bilateral fraying of the metaphysis widening of the growth plates? Diagnosis
Rickets disease
Tibia vara , Fat kid
Blount disease
Short limbs bowed Long bones
Dwarfism
Tibial bowing involving all long bones
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Dark to intermediate T2 soft tissue lesion In an old patient; often with spontaneous hemorrhage? Who am I
Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma
Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma
Dark to intermediate on T2
Spontaneous hemorrhage
Bone in foreskin turn into PUS
Radiation is a risk factor
Patient under 20 years old with T2 bright and T1 dark lesion (Cyst like) but with post contrast enhancement
Myxoid liposarcoma
Synovial sarcoma could be a ddx
T2 soft tissue mass with flow voids, Infiltrate between the fascial boundaries. Enhances intensely. Contain fat. What’s the next step.
Plain film to assess for phleboliths. Hemangioma.
