Q

sometimes with bacterial infection you can get embolic osteomyelitis. Describe the pathogenesis

A

septicemia–>bacteria spread via the blood–>the blood supply to the growth plate involves capillaries that make sharp bends which are prone to turbulence, thrombosis, and slow flow–>bacteria can lodge here and proliferate and spread locally–>leading to suppurative osteomyelitis

Q

what are 3 gross lesions to look for with fungal osteomyelitis?

A
  1. periosteal new bone thickens the bone contour

Q

what is osteonecrosis and what causes it? What is the pathogenesis? What is the result?

A

necrosis of the bone, causes can be infection, trauma, neoplasia, frostbite, etc.

pathogenesis: bone lesions that causes damage to the blood supply causing ischemia and infarction

area is slowly removed by osteoclasts so if it is not removed a sequestrum can form. the outcome depends on the blood supply, the size, and the proximity to viable tissue

24
Q

what is shown here?

A

bone necrosis, well demarcated area tan area

25
Q

what is a bone sequestrum and what causes it?

A

fragments of necrotic bone that are isolated from blood supply, almost always associated with inflammation, caused by comminuted fractures creating fractures, can interfere with healing and cause non union fractures

26
Q

what is shown here?

A

osteomyelitis with sequestrum

27
Q

what is metaphyseal osteopathy? what do the lesions look like?

A

also known as hypertrophic osteodystrophy, affects young large and giant breed dogs, it is very painful and resolves spontaneously. We do not know what causes it.

lesions: initially bilaterally symmetrical suppurative and fibrinous osteomyelitis of the metaphysis of multiple long bones, it can have a “double growth plate” appearance. In chronic stages there will be new periostal bone

28
Q

what disease is shown here?

A

metaphyseal osteopathy, you can see the growth plate and then a second band of inflammation

29
Q

what is aseptic necrosis and what is the specific type that is common?

A

osteonecrosis NOT associated with infection

aspetic necrosis of the femoral head: affects young minature dog breeds
- femoral head infarction, necrotic bone resorbed by osteoclasts, articular cartilage collapses

30
Q

what is hypertrophic osteopathy? who gets it, what do the lesions look like, and what is it associated with? Pathogenesis?

A

hypertrophy of the bones, occurs in dogs usually sometimes horses, lesions are progressive periosteal new bone formation affecting the distal limbs, typically associated with concurrent intrathoracic disease

pathogenesis is unknown, but we know the condition will regress if the primary problem is resolved (a pulmonary/lung problem)

31
Q

what is this disease?

A

hypertrophic osteopathy

32
Q

what are osteochondromas? How do they normally appear?

A

aka multiple cartilaginous exostoses which are benign nodular growths projecting from the outer bone surface

the lesion is usually a mass of trabecular bone and cartilage arising from the metaphyseal areas of multiple bones. they appear at a young age and keep growing until the animal stops growing at skeletal maturity

33
Q

this is a bone cross section. What is shown here?

A

an osteochondroma

34
Q

this is the rib of a puppy. what is shown here? are these lesions usually problematic?

A

osteochondroma
these can resolve once the animal stops growing so if they are small enough they may not cause any issues

35
Q

what are the two clinically significant bone neoplasms? what do you need in order to diagnose these?

A

osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma

you need a biopsy and NOT a cytology to diagnose. you also need a clinical history and radiographs usually too

36
Q

what is the cell of origin for osteosarcoma? How do these cells act? What is an important DDX? Where does this cancer metastasize to?

A

malignant osteoblasts; they produce bone and destroy existing bone
DDX: osteomyelitis

this cancer is aggressive and fast growing, often metastasizes to the lungs

37
Q

where does osteosarcoma usually arise?

A

distal radius and ulna, proximal humerus, distal femur, distal or proximal tibia, “away from the elbow, towards the knee”, but can arise in any bone

38
Q

does osteosarcoma usually invade into the joint spaces?

A

no

39
Q

what kind of tumor is this likely?

A

osteosarcoma

40
Q

what are some ways to tell between osteomyelitis and osteosarcoma?

A
  • osteomyelitis can infiltrate the joints, osteosarcoma does not
  • osteomyelitis comes with fever, osteosarcoma does not
  • weight loss is seen with osteomyelitis, not in osteosarcoma
  • a draining tract is possible in osteomyelitis, not found in osteosarcoma
  • pain is seen with both
41
Q

what is the cell of origin for chondrosarcoma and how do the tumors usually behave?

A

malignant chondrocytes that produce cartilage, they are slow growing with localized bone destruction, arises from flat bones

42
Q

what tumor is this likely arising from the skull?

A

chondrosarcoma

43
Q

list some neoplasms that often metastasize to the bones and the most common locations they metastasize to

A

carcinomas mostly of the mammary gland, lung, and prostate
ribs, vertebrae, and proximal long bones

44
Q

a cat comes to your clinic and it’s foot looks like this. what are you concened about?

A

i am concerned about lung-digit syndrome, which is spread from a pulmonary carcinoma. once the tumor has spread, it proliferates and destroys the nail bed and can cause sloughing of the claw. I would immediately want to take thoracic radiographs to investigate the lungs

45
Q

what is the underlying lesions of metaphyseal osteopathy?

A

the double growth plate

46
Q

hypertrophic osteopathy is associated with lesions in what other body system? Give two examples of these associated lesions

A

intrathoracic disease such as lung tumors or pneumonia

47
Q

what is chondrodysplasia?

A

congenital disorder where there is abnormal growth of cartilage, like disproportionate dwarfism (short legs with normal sized heads)

48
Q

what is osteopetrosis? what is the cause? what kind of animals are predisposed?

A

osteopetrosis=osteosclerosis (increased bone density) with no medullary cavity

cause: defective osteoclasts fail to resorb bone leading to improper remodelling

angus cattle and peruvian paso horses preisposed, also an association with BVDV in cattle

49
Q

what disease is this?

A

osteopetrosis/osteosclerosis, note the loss of medullary cavity

50
Q

what is osteogenesis imperfecta?

A

a genetic disease where you have abnormal type I collagen, leading to reduced trabecular bone leading to fractures, joint laxity, and abnormal dentin

51
Q

what is the word for:
- partial or complete fusion of the digits
- increase in the number of digits
- increase in the number of limbs

A

syndactyly
polydactyly
polymelia

52
Q

what is the difference between brachygnathia inferior and superior?

A

inferior is a shortening of the mandible leading to an overbite
superior is a shortening of the maxilla, which is seen in brachy breeds

53
Q

abnormal ventral curvature of the spinalcolumn is called

A

lordosis

54
Q

what is this showing?

A

lordosis

55
Q

abnormal dorsal curvature of the spinal column is called

A

kyphosis

56
Q

what is shown here?

A

kyphosis

57
Q

abnormal lateral deviation of the spinal column is called

A

scoliosis

58
Q

what is spina bifida?

A

defective closure of the dorsal vertebral lamina in the vertebral column
