Tumor Flashcards
Enneking IA
low grade intracompartmental
Enneking IB
low grade extracompartmental
Enneking IIA
high grade intracompartmental
Enneking IIB
high grade extracompartmental
Enneking III
has mets
AEIOU and sometimes Y
diaphyseal bone lesions: adamantinoma, eosinophilic granuloma, infection, osteoid osteoma/osteoblastoma, Ewing’s, mYeloma/lYmphoma/fibrous dYsplasia
MELT
vertebra plana: mets/myeloma, EG/ewings, lymphoma/leukemia, trauma/TB
distinguishing between simple bone cysts and ABC on plain films
ABC are wider than the physis above them; simple bone cysts are not. ABC can look like osteoblastoma?
LERNM
small round blue cell tumors: lymphoma, ewings, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, myeloma
RACES
tumors that spread to lymph nodes: rhabdo, angiosarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, epithelioid, and synovial sarc
the tumors that FNA is not the best for
the LERNM tumors, small round blue cells
ewings immunostain
CD99
lymphoma immunostain
CD45, CD20
t(12;16)
myxoid liposarcoma
t(11;22)
ewings
t(x;18)
synovial sarc
t(9;22)
myxoid chondrosarcoma
t(2;13)
rhabdomyosarcoma
general characteristics of tumors that don’t need XRT
low grade,
these benign, locally aggressive, soft-tissue tumors have positivity for estrogen receptor B
extra-abdominal desmoid
condition to associate with multiple rock-hard soft-tissue nodules
gardners (familial adenomatous polyposis) is 10,000x more likely to develop desmoid tumors
painful, rapidly enlarging soft tissue mass in a young person
nodular fasciitis
the 2 malignant fibrous tumors
malignant fibrous histiocytoma and fibrosarcoma
histology of fibrosarcoma
herringbone spindle cells
histology of malignant fibrous histiocytoma
storiform spindle cells cartwheeling around slit-like vessels
difference bt pre and postop soft tissue tumor XRT
postop has fewer postop wound complications, but higher postop fibrosis
checklist for observation of a lipoma
No symptoms, and looks uniformly like a lipoma on all MRI sequences. If it is growing or symptomatic, cut it out
the histology of neural tumor with MRI snake-egg appearance
neurilemoma (benign schwannoma) has MRI appearance of eccentric mass in peripheral nerve. On histology there are the Antoni A and Antoni B. A has the palisading whorled cells.
the exception to the use of chemo in soft-tissue tumors
normally chemo is reserved for use in bone tumors. However, rhabdomyosarcoma is chemo-sensitive
this is the most common sarcoma in the young pt
rhabdomyosarcoma (good thing it is chemo sensitive…)
phleboliths
hemangioma
stuart-treves
lymphedema s/p BRCA mastectomy, leads to angiosarcoma
joints most affected by PVNS
knee, hip, shoulder
most common location for tumor associated with t(x;18)
synovial sarc is most common in the foot
on xrays alone, why synovial sarcoma and hemangioma might be confused
both have mineralization within the lesion, (up to 25% in synovial sarc) but the irregular contour of synovial sarc sets it apart from the round calcifications of hemangioma
this is the most common sarcoma of the hand
epithelioid
