What is another name for a bone island?
Enstoma
Describe an enostoma
Solitary, discrete area of sclerosis. Not a neoplasm!
Common locations for enostomas? Age of patient?
Pelvis, sacrum, proximal femur, basically any bone except skull
Any age, m/c adults
How fast do enstomas grow?
They don’t grow or do so very slowly!
Plain film findings of enostoma?
Ovoid or round with sharp margins that is homogenously dense.
Often has a “brush border”
Metaphysis or epiphysis
Which benign bone tumor has a clear, lytic center surrounded by sclerosis?
Osteoid Osteoma
The lytic center is called a “nidus”
How do you tell the difference between a enostoma (bone island) from osteoblastic mets?
Ultimately will have to do a bone scan, but a brush border indicates enostoma
What is a common characteristic of osteoid osteomas?
Pain! Hardly ever are discovered incidental.
Pain gets increasingly severe and is wore at night
Common age range of patients with osteoid Osteoma?
10-25
What are two benign tumors that typically cause pain?
GCT and osteoid osteoma
Where is the m/c location for osteoid osteoma?
50% in femur and tibia
20% phalanges
10% spine, mostly neural arch
Where in bone is it m/c for osteoid osteoma to form?
Cortex, although they can occur cancellous and sub periosteal bone
Plain film findings for osteoid osteoma?
Lucent nidus (>1cm) surrounded by reactive sclerosis
Treatment for osteoid osteoma?
Must remove nidus entirely or will most likely recur
What is the go to imaging for osteoid osteoma?
Plain film- can identify 75% of the time
3 causes of painful scoliosis
Osteoid osteoma
Aneurysmal bone cyst (expansile lytic lesion)
Osteoblastoma
Which 5 benign tumors cause pain?
