Part 10-test 3 Flashcards
-oma
tumor
tumor
lesion followed by an abnormal growth of cells
benign tumor
abnormal tissue masses are are not cancers
malignant tumor
synonymous with cancer and malignant tumors are usually named using -carcinom, -sarcoma or -blastoma
cancer
diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues
carcinoma
any malignant cancer that arises from epithelial cells
sarcoma
cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels or other connective or supportive tissue
lymphoma/leukemia
malignancies derived from hematopoietic cells
blastoma
tumor (usually malignant) which resembles an immature or embryonic tissue
metastasis
new tumors that appear far from the original tumor
predictive factors for differential diagnosis
age incidence skeletal location interosseous location tumor appearance clinical presentation
metastatic disease
74% of all malignancies in bone
MC malignant tumor in adults
multiple myeloma
MC malignant tumor in kids
osteosarcoma
MC benign osseous tumor
osteochondroma
MC benign spinal tumor
hemangioma
what pattern of bone destruction is least worrysome? most?
least- geographic
most- permative
what are the positions of a lesion in the horizontal plane?
central/medullary eccentric cortical parosteal soft tissues
describe geographic bone desctruction
least aggressive usually solitary lesion <1cm indicative of a slow growing lesion short zone of transition margin is well defined, can be smooth or isolated
describe moth eaten destruction
moderate degree of aggressiveness
numerous small holes (2-5mm) in size
longer zone of transition than geographic
margins are not well defined
describe permeative bone destruction
most aggressive growing lesion
numerous small holes (1mm) in size
wide zone of transition
poorly demarcated or imperceptible borders
what are the big differences between benign and malignant holes in bones?
longer zone of transition=more aggressive
shorter zone of transition= less aggressive
cortical changes that could indicate tumors?
buttressing/thickening endosteal scalloping splitting or tunneling thinning with or without expansion penetration with or without periosteal reaction
differential diagnoses of solitary lucent bone lesions
