Giant cell tumor
DD for punctuate stippled calcification
Enchondroma
Chondrosarcoma
Cartilage formation
Small blue tumors
Ewing sarcoma
Lymphoma
Leukemia
Histiocytosis
Bone met sources
Breast Lung Thyroid Renal Prostate
Benign tumor staging
- latent: intracapsular, asymptomatic, well defined margin with thick rim of reactive bone, do not require treatment and no not compromise strength of bone
- Active: intracapsular but actively growing, well defined margins but thin cortex TX: extended curettage
- Aggressive: extracapsular, broken through reactive bone tx: extended curettage and marginal or wide resection
Malignant tumor staging Ia Ib IIa IIb III
Low grade, intracompartmental,no mets Low grade extracomp no mets High grade intra no mets High grade extra no mets Anything with mets
Indications for primary resection (excisional biopsy)
Small less then 3cm subq mass that is unlikely to be malignant
Osteoid osteoma or osteochondroma
Painful lesion in prox fib or distal ulna that would need resection whether malignant or benign
Target dose for radiation therapy
30-40gy for myeloma
60gy for soft tissue sarcoma
Tumors sensitive to radiation
Small blue cell tumors (MM, lymphoma, ewings)
Mets other than renal cell
ST sarcomas to decrease size before resection
Osteoid osteoma
Male 20-30
Pain at night
Post elements of spine
Relieved by NSAIDS
Increased cyclooxygenase and prostaglandins
CT with central nidus
TX: antiinflam will heal lesion in 3-4 years
Radiofreq ablation for pelvis or LE 90 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes (can’t do in vertebra and small bones of hand and feet)
Bone island
Osteopoikilosis
Adults
Asymptomatic
Observation
Osteo: multiple bone islands
Chondroma
Adults Phalanges of Hand, prox hum, distal femur, prox tibia Asymptomatic Stippled calcifications Observe, curettage if symptoms
Ollier disease
Multiple enchondroma
Malignant transformation is 25%
Maffucci syndrome
Multiple enchondroma with soft tissue hemangiomas
Risk of malignant transformation is 100%
Osteochondroma
20-30s Bony mass with stalk Metaphysis of long bone Presents with mass Pedunculated lesion with cartilage cap Obs but resection if symptoms 1% chance of malignant change (chondrosarcoma) Recurrence: failure to remove entire cartilaginous cap Subungal exostosis: at hallux
