Q

Systemic staging work up?

A

Bone scan - cold in myeloma, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma (high flow lesions)
Chest CT scan (85% found in tumors of unknown origin) - if metastatic suspicion get CT C/A/P

91
Q

Imaging of soft tissue sarcoma?

A

Dark on T1
Bright on T2

Except lipoma - always look exactly like fat

92
Q

Lipoma vs. liposarcoma?

A

MDM2+ or ring chromosomes

93
Q

A

Herringbone pattern

94
Q

A

Spindle cells in whirling patterns

S-100 positive

95
Q

Desmin positive
Chr t(2;13) - PAK-FKHR gene

96

98
Q

Telangiectatic osteosarcoma vs ABC?

A

ABC is wider than the physis

TO - expands on cortex more than ABC. Path has malignant osteoid, vascular lakes/channels (similar to ABC), and giant cells.

99
Q

Types of osteosarcoma

A

Central - conventional, telangiectatic, low grade, small cell, giant cell rich, secondary, non-osteogenic

Surface - parosteal (stuck on) and periosteal

Extraosseus

100
Q

Pathology of osteosarcoma?

A

Parosteal - more bland, less aggressive

Periosteal - more aggressive, can have areas of cartilage

Conventional - immature looking blue cells, mitotic figures, immature woven bone

101
Q

Histology of enchondroma?

A

Bland looking cartilage - acellular

On hands and feet can be much more cellular

102
Q

Tx of benign cartilage lesions

A

Osteochondroma/Enchondroma - latent in adults - observation

Chondroblastoma and chondromyxoid fibroma - rare aggressive lesions, require treatment, curettage.

103
Q

Imaging of chondrosarcoma vs. benign lesions?

A

Will see endosteal scalloping, cortical expansion, cortical disruption.

If truly benign should be able to cover up lesion and rest of bone looks normal.

104
Q

NOF vs. chondromyxoid fibroma?

A

NOF usually has a definable rim of bone, CMF does not.

105
Q

NOF pathology

A

Spindle shaped fibroblasts, whorled pattern, giant cells and hemosiderin.

106
Q

Osteofibrous dysplasia vs. fibrous dysplasia on pathology?

A

OFD - loose stroma of fibroblasts/spindle cells with scattered bone trabecular WITH rimming osteoblasts

Fibrous dysplasia - similar but no rimming osteoblasts on histo - looks completely different on XR. “Chinese characters”

107
Q

Fibrous dysplasia vs OFD on XR?

A

FD - ground glass (looks like frosted glass) like someone smudged the bone on XR. More smooth, cortical expansion, no normal fat, it has been replaced with fibrous tissue.

Q

Vicious cycle of metastatic bone disease

A

Bone destruction by activated osteoclasts

parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) - stimulates release of RANKL from osteoblasts and marrow stromal cells and binds to RANK on osteoclast precursor cells

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) from cancer cells causes further osteoclast differentiation

With bone resorption - transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B), insulin like growth factor (IGF-1), and calcium are released and cause more PTHrP to be released from cancer cells.
