Musculoskeletal disorders Pt. II Flashcards
What kind of lesions are found with fibrodisplasia?
Benign lesion, failure of body differentiation.
How does fibrodysplasia affect bone growth?
Arrested development of bone
How does FD affect size and morphology of bone?
Well circumscribed,intramedullary, variable size. Possible osseuous deformation.
What are the three categories of FD
- ) Monostotic: single bone involvement
- ) Polyostotic: mutliple bone involvement
- ) Polyostotic + cafe au lait spots & endocrinopathy
What is type 3 FD AKA
McCune-Albrite syndrome.
What age is Monostotic FD normally seen?
Between ages 10-30
Where is Monostotic FD detected?
ribs, femur, tibia, jabones, calvaria, humerus. Minimal bony distortion/enlargement
T/F
Monostotic FD is very symptomatic?
False, asymptomatic.
What are some features of polyostotic FD
No endocrinopathy, late childhood/adolescence
What morphological bone features are noticed with polyostotic FD?
Severe deformation, pathologic fx, is common.
Where is Polyostotic FD seen?
Femur, calvaria, tibia, humerus, pelvis
How often is craniofacial involvement?
50% of all cases.
What radiographic features are indicative of Polyostotic FD?
Well defined margins “ground glass” apprearance. “Shepherd’s crook” disorder
What is the treatment for Polyostotic FD?
Excision, orthotic hardware.
McCune-Albright syndrome is how much of polyostotic FD cases?
3% of all cases of FD.
What are some specific endocrine related issues with MC-albrite syndrome?
Precocious puberty prompts evalutation, MC females. Endocrine hperfunction: hyperthyroidism, pituitary adenoma, adrenal hyperplasia.
What are the 3 major aspects of A&P are affected by MC-Albrite syndrome?
Skin, skeletal, endocrinopathy.
T/F
MC-Albrite syndrome is generally severe
False,
variable severity
What is the disperal of lesions like with MC-Albrite syndrome?
Skin and bony lesions are commonly unilateral (femur, tibia)
T/F
Ewing sarcoma and Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor are variant of the same malignant tumor
True
What are some features of Ewing Ssarcoma and PNET?
“Small round cell tumors” of bone.
Hemorrhage and necrosis, medulla and cortex.
T/F
Ewing Sarcoma is highly differentiated?
False, highly undifferentiated
What percent of primary bone cancers are Ewing’s sarocoma?
10%
How common is Ewings sarcoma in pediatric bone CA?
2nd MC
Neural differentiation and Homer-Wright rosettes are indicative of what?
PNET
What is the MC age for Ewing Sarcoma and PNET, who is at risk?
10-20 years MC. Caucasian males most at risk
What morphological features are found with Ewing Sarcoma and PNET
Fempainful enlarging mass, loong bone diaphysis. “onion-skinning” or “sunburst” appeerance on the periosteum.
What areas are most affected by Ewing Sarcoma and PNET?
Femur (MC) or pelvis
Ewing Sarcoma and PNET stimulate proinflammatory cytokines which mimics what?
Infection. Elevating pyrexia, leukocytosis, and ESR
Onion skinning appearance of periosteum is indicative of what condition?
Ewing Sarcoma
What is the survival of 70% of Ewing Sarcoma PNET patients?
5-year survival
What gives for a worse prognosis for Ewing sarcoma and PNET?
Invasion of surrounding tissues
What is the treatment for Ewing Sarcoma and PNET?
Excision, chemotherapy
Ginat cell tumor of bone inolves what kind of cells?
Multinucleated giant cells (osteoclast-like), neoplastic monocunlear cells.
What age group is most associated with giant-cell tumor of bone?
Age 20-40
What kind of lesions are associated with Giant-cell tumor of bone?
Large, lytic, solitary, eccentric (off center) lesions
What areas are the lesions found with giant-cell tumor of bone
Knee (MC): dist. femur/prox. tibia. Locally invasive, erode cortex
Epiphysis/metapysis
At the ends of bones basically
How can giant-cell tumor of bone be identified
Biopsy
Is giant-cell bone tumor of bone painful?
Yes, arthritic like pain.
What x-ray features of giant-cell bone tumor?

No.
How many cases of giant-cell bone tumors metastasize?
2% MC lungs
What is the treatment for giant-cell bone tumors?
excision, radiation.
What are some radiographic features of giant cell bone tumor?
Thin “shell” of cortex
“Soap bubble” appearance
What is secondary mets to bone?
Any cancer that spreads to bone
T/F
Secondary metastasis is more common than primary bone cancers
True
