September 11 Bone Path Flashcards
What does a sclerotic margin on a bone Xray mean?
Benign, slow growing neoplasm
What does an ill-defined margin on a bone Xray mean?
Malignant tumor
What does solid bone on a bone xray mean?
Malignant matrix forming tumors
What do rings/arcs on a bone xray mean?
Chondroid matrix forming tumors
Ostoid osteoma
- Long bones, femur, tibia, most likely knee
- <2 cm
- Night pain
- Responds to aspirin
- Radiolucent lesion with a sclerotic cortex
What is this?
Cells within an osteoid osteoma or osteoblastoma (hard to tell apart)
New bone cells forming
Osteoblastoma
- tumor in vertebrae, long bone metaphysis
- >2 cm, painful, not responsive to aspirin
Osteosarcoma
- malignant mesenchymal tumor that makes bone
- most common bone sarcoma
- metaphysis of long bone (knee)
- Hematogenous spread to lungs
Patho: mutant RB, p53 (Li Fraumeni), too much MDM2/INK4/p16, Paget disease/bone growth diseases, irradiation
Xray: Codman’s triangle; poorly defined, bone/cortical disruption into soft tissue
Prognosis: avg age 5 and 55-80, M>F; 60-65% live past 3-5 yr due to chemo and surgery
What is this?
Osteosarcoma
Cells in osteoid irregular, tripolar mitosis
Osteochondroma
- most common benign tumor of bone
- metaphysis
- malignancy chance increases with herditary multiple exotoses
- autosomal dominant (EXT 1 8q24 mutations)
Clinically: little bleb off side of cortex with marrow and cartilage cap
What is this?
Osteochondroma
Normal cartilage that has calcification and osteoid forming bone AND marrow
Endochondroma
- Benign hyaline cartilage lesion
- Endochondroma=intramedullary, periosteal=juxtacortical (under periosteum)
- Asym.
- Appendicular skeleton, small bones hands and feet
- Xrays=lytic, lobulated, cortical thinning
- Tx=none unless symptomatic or growth after skeleton matures
What is this?
Endochondroma
Lobules of hyaline cartilage with minimal atypia (no bone formation)
Ollier’s Disease
Multiple enchodromata, regional lesions, skeleton malformation
Multiple chrondromatosis due to pt mutations in IDH1 or IDH2
Maffucci’s Sx
Multiple enchondromata AND angiomata
Skeletal malformation and higher risk for malignancy
Multiple chondromatosis–point mutations in IDH1 or IDH2
Chondrosarcoma
- Malignant tumor; neoplastic cells make cartilaginous matrix
- 2nd most common bone sarcoma
- Older adults ages 60-70
- Central skeleton, humerus, femur
Imagining: medullary calcifications, cortical erosion/destruction, “popcorn”
Variant: de-differentiated=losing chondrad differentiation
