Q

what is osteochondroma formed of?

A

The tumor is formed of three layers:
- Pericondrioum.
- Hyaline cartilage.
- Trabeculae of woven bone with bone marrow spaces in between.

(Both bone and cartilage are of benign nature)

Q

specimen of osteochondroma

A

A Bony Swelling

15
Q

what is the shape of osteochondroma?

A
  • Oval, polypoidal (wide from below and narrow from the upper part of the specimen).
  • The narrow part (pedicle) was the site of attachment to the original bone.
16
Q

surface of osteochondroma

A

Smooth and lobulated.

17
Q

color of osteochondroma

A

Bluish gray.

18
Q

consistency of osteochondroma

A

Hard

19
Q

Cut surface of osteochondroma

A

Shows a core of cancellous bone covered by a bluish cartilagenous cap.

20
Q

what is the site of chondrosarcoma?

A
  • Common in pelvis, ribs, femur, humerus, vertebrae.
  • Central: medulla of diaphysis
  • Peripheral: cortex or periosteum of metaphysis
21
Q

what forms chondrosarcoma?

A

Tumor is formed of:

  • Lobules of cartilage showing: Bluish chondroid matrix & increased cellularity.
  • The cells (chondrocytes) are present in lacunae. There are more than one cell in the same lacuna.
  • The cells show features of malignancy ( large hyperchromatic nuclei, pleomorphism and mitotic activity).
22
Q

what is a specimen taken for chondrosarcoma of ribs?

A

Mass on the chest wall (Parts of ribs seen in the back of the specimen)

23
Q

description of chondrosarcoma of ribs

A

Description :
- Site : ribs.
- Size : 8x6 cm.
- Shape : ovoid.
- Consistency: firm.
- Color : faint blue with necrosis and hemorrhage.
- The bluish colour indicates the cartilaginous origin
- Hemorrhage and necrosis are in favor of malignancy .

24
Q

what is the site of Giant cell tumor of bone?

A
  • Common in femur, tibia, radius.
  • Epiphysis and metaphysis
25
Q

what is Giant cell tumor of bone formed of?

A

The tumor formed of:

  • Multinucleated giant cells which are uniformly distributed . These are reactive cells.
  • Stromal cells: In between the giant cells there are mononucleated spindle or oval cells. These are neoplastic cells.
  • Very little or no stroma, Hemorrhage and necrosis.
26
Q

what is the site of Ameloblastoma of the mandible?

A

The molar region of the mandible is the seat of a swelling

27
Q

description of Ameloblastoma of the mandible

A
  • (Oval, 8x6 cm in size & project outwards )
  • On bisection, multiple cystic cavities which are:
    1.Variable in size & shape
    2.Contain fluid of motor oil appearance
  • Most of the mandible is destroyed & replaced by the lesion
28
Q

description of Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS)

A
  • The synovium is thickened.
  • The inner surface shows many outgrowths. (villous & nodular structures)
  • They have a rusty brown discoloration due to hemosiderin deposition
29
Q

site of Giant cell Tumor of tendon sheath (localized)

A
  • The base of the mounted fingers shows a circumscribed mass
30
Q

description of Giant cell Tumor of tendon sheath (localized)

A
  • Oval in shape.
  • 10x6 cm in size
  • Firm in consistency
31
Q

cut section of Giant cell Tumor of
tendon sheath (localized)

A

grayish white tissue, black hemorrhagic areas admixed with yellow necrotic areas.

32
Q

State of the neighboring tendon to Giant cell Tumor of
tendon sheath (localized)

A

The neighboring tendon is free
