MSK neoplasms Flashcards
neoplasms that usually localizes in the facial bones and nasal sinuses
Osteoma
complications of an osteoma
sinus obstruction
congestion
pressure headaches
Difference between osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma
osteoid osteoma
- < 2cm
- diaphysis of long bones
- Appendicular skeleton
Osteoblastoma
- >2cm
- axial skeleton
Describe the morphology of an osteoid osteoma
well-circumscribed round/ oval mass in the cortex of long bones
hemorrhagic, tan/ gritty tissue with haphazard interconnections of woven trabeculae rimmed by osteoblasts
Intertrabecular spaces are filled by vascularized loose connective tissue
Clinical presentation of osteoid osteoma
severe nocturnal pain that is relieved with ASA
Osteoblastoma clinical presentation
dull pain that is unresponsive to ASA
Most common primary malignant tumor of the bone
Osteosarcoma
Associations of Osteosarcoma
RB
TP53
INK4a
MDM2
CDK4
Paget Disease
Bone Infarcts
Prior radiation
Diagnostics of osteosarcoma
appears at the metaphyseal region of long bones
tumor frequently breaks through the cortex and lifts the periosteum, forming a sunburst appearance and Codman’s triangle
Morphology of osteosarcoma
gritty, grey-white areas of hemorrhage and or cystic degeneration
fine lacelike pattern of neoplastic bone replaced by anaplastic malignant tumor cells
broad sheets or primitive trabeculae
Clinical presentation of osteosarcoma
painfully aggressive enlarging masses in long bones
usually around the knee
2nd most common group of bone sarcomas in children
Ewing Sarcoma
Pathology of Ewing Sarcoma
t(11q24; 22q12) causes the fusion of EWS gene on chromosome 22 to the FLI1 gene
Diagnostics of Ewing sarcoma
appears at the diaphysis of femur, tibia and flat bones of the pelvis
Destructive lytic tumor with permeative margins that extend into the surrounding soft tissues
Periosteal reaction- layers of reactive bone
Morphology of Ewing Sarcoma
soft, tan/white areas of hemorrhage and necrosis
sheets of small uniform, round cells with scant cytoplasm
cytoplasm appears clear due to abundance of glycogen
Homer wright rosettes
Ewing Sarcoma Clinical Presentation
painful enlarging mass with tenderness warmth and swelling
Multiple Enchondromas
Ollier Disease
Maffucci Syndrome
Associations of Chondromas
Diagnostics of Chondromas
found in the metaphysis of tubular bones in hands and feet
Morphology of chondromas
well-circumscribed nodules of hyaline cartilage containing cytomorphological benign chondrocytes
sclerotic rim with an intact cortex
usually < 3cm
Grey-blue and translucent
Late adolescence- early adulthood
multiple hereditary exostosis syndrome
chondrosarcoma
Osteochondroma associations
Most common primary benign bone tumor
Osteochondroma
Pathology of Osteochondromas
inactivation of the EXT gene
Diagnostics of Osteochondromas
appears at the metaphysis of the bone near the knee
benign cartilage capped tumor that is attached to the underlying skeleton by a bony stalk
Morphology of Osteochondromas
Cap is composed of benign hyaline cartilage varying in thickness and has the appearance of a disorganized growth plate
Pedunculated lesion with a bone stalk that is continuous with the cortex and medullary cavity of the underlying bone
underlying stalk contains cancellous
