Enchondroma
Buttressing. And associated with what?
Additional layers of new bone added to exterior creating an expanded ossueous contour
Associated with slow growing lesions
Laminated/layered/onion skin. And associated with hat
Alternating layers of lucency and opacity with alternating growth. Thick or thin.
Can be seen in slow or aggressive lesions . Classic with Ewing’s
Colman’s triangle and speculated periosteum reaction often associated with what
Osteosarcoma
Reasons for missing pedicle
- Congential
- Destructive
- tumor (primary: ABC/osteoblastoma; secondary: lyric Mets MC!!!!; ST tumor: neurofibroma)
- infection - Surgical

Skeletal survey
MRI
Biopsy
Tests for lytic Mets
Bone scan
MRI
What do carcinomas arise from?
Epithelial cells
What do sarcomas arise from?
Bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue
Description of cartilaginous matrix
Ring or arc like Flocculent Small crystals Popcorn like Stippled
Pathway of metastasis
Hematogenous dissemination (blood) via Batson’s plexus aka vertebral plexus
Alkaline phosphatase will be increased in what kind of CA?
Blastic
Where in the skeleton does Mets usually spread
Spine (40)
Ribs/sternum (28)
Pelvis/sacrum (12)
Mets distal to elbow and knee is termed what and due to what?
Acral metastasis
Due to lung primary
Blow out mets MC from what
Renal or thyroid
MC reason for pedicle destruction
Lytic mets
Radiographic features of vertebral mets
Ivory vertebra Pedicle destruction Pathological collapse (OP, LM, MM) Focal OP Malignant schmorl node formation
T1 and T2 determining old vs new pathological fractures
“T1 white is right”
New: T1 dark, T2 bright
DDX for ivory vertebra
Paget
Hodgkins Lymphoma
Osteoblastic mets
Area of dense sclerosis on the anterior superior VB without sclerosis
Blastic mets
Bone island. Alt Ddx?
Blastic density that is longitudinal. Normal alkaline phosphatase levels and bone scan
Ddx: blastic mets
Osteopoikilosis
Multiple bone islands
Usually in pelvis
What does patient need to diagnose blastic mets
BCP for alkaline and acid phosphatase levels
PSA
Digital rectal exam
Avulsion fracture of lesser trochanter. MC diagnosis in child? Adult?
Child: avulsion Fx
Adult: lytic mets
Top 4 primary malignancies in order
