Oncology Flashcards
Most common site of pathological fracture secondary to boney mets
proximal femur
What cell signalling molecule is defective in fibrous dysplasia
G-protein
Recurrence of chondrosarcoma is directly related to activity of what
telomerase
RB gene
retinobalstoma
osteosarcoma
sarcoma, breast cancer oncogene
p53
chondrosarcoma, melanoma, osteosarcoma oncogene
p16ink41
Colon adenomas, desmoid tumors
APC (familial adenomatous polyposis)
NF1
neurofibromas
EXT1/EXT2
hereditary exostosis
chondrosarcomas
t(11, 22)
Ewing, PNET
EWS, FLI
t(X, 18)(p11;p11)
synovial cell
SYT, SSX
x(12;22)(p13;a12)
clear cell sarcoma
EWS, AFT1
t(2;13)(p35;q14)
rhabdomyosarcoma
PAX3
FKHR
t(12;16)(q13;p11)
myxoid liposarcoma
Benefit of pre-op rads
higher risk of wound complications
lower risk of fibrosis
lower dose of radiation
most common site of oteoid osteoma
proximal femur
increased prostaglandins
most common benign tumor of the hand
enchondroma
pain associated with enchondroma
chondrosarcoma
ollier’s disease
multiple enchondromas; no genetic inheritance
dysplastic bones with bowing
high risk of metastatic conversion (30%)
maffucci’s syndrome
multiple enchonromas
associated with angiomas
calcified phleboliths, visceral malignancy
malignant conversion 100%
encondroma conversion to chondrosarcoma
50% endosteal scalloping
> 5cm (larger size)
chondroblastoma characteristics
like GCT, physeal
occur with ABC, consider clear cell chondrosarcoma
need to CT chest (treat mets with surgery)
intralesional curettage with bone graft
phenol as an adjunct, 10% recurrence
Risk of using liquid nitrogen as an adjunct
stress fracture
