Part 11 Flashcards
cause of giant cell tumor
neoplasm from non-bone formin supporting connective tissue of marrow
location of GCT
long bones
what is the most common benign tumor in the sacrum?
GCT
findings for GCT
geographic, eccentric, metaphyseal subarticular expansion soap bubble or purely lytic cortical thinning
age/gender of GCT
20-40
male
clinical features of GCT
localized pain (aching) restricted joint motion
treatment/prognosis of GCT
10% 5 year survival if malignant
surgical curretage with liquid nitrogen freezing
bone packing or grafting
recurrence rate of 12-50%
cause of solitary osteochondroma
unknown
displaced cartilage from the physis
location of solitary osteocondrooma
femur and tibia (metaphysis)
flat bones
bones with enchondral ossification
age/gender of solitary osteochondroma
<20
male
findings for solitary osteochondroma
cortex and spongiosa blend with host bone
growth at angle toward midshaft
coathanger exostosis
clinical features of solitary osteochondroma
asymptomatic MC unless they disturb nerves or vessels painless hard mass pain from fracture cord compression with spinal lesions obstructive uropathy from pelvic tumor pain and new growth may be malignant
treatment/prognosis of solitary osteochondroma
remove if affecting patient
otherwise leave it alone
cause of hereditary multiple exostosis
inherited autosomal dominant
location of hereditary multiple exostosis
metaphysis of long bones
multiple, bilateral
age/gender for hereditary multiple exostosis
2-10
male
findings for hereditary multiple exostosis
cortex and spongiosa continuous with host bone short 4th & 5th metacarpals supernumary fingers and toes madelung/bayonnet deformity disproportionate shortening of extremity
clinical for hereditary multiple exostosis
few to 100, average of 10
painless hard masses around joint
cord compression of obsrctive uropathy possible
5-20% malignant transformation
treatment/prognosis of hereditary multiple exostosis
remove if affecting patient
otherwise leave alone
