Question
Answer
Approach to diagnosis of Bone Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions ?   * Age, pain/no pain, imaging (zone of transition = see if malig. or benign), and histology

🗑
Osteosarcoma age and usu places it develops ?   * 75% in younger than 20 years and 25% in the elderly who get it due to an underlying condition (2ndary osteosarcoma)..... * arrise in the metaphyseal region of the long bone and almost 50% in the knee

🗑
Clinical Features of Osteosarcoma ?   * Painful, progressively enlarging mass that is aggressive and spreads, and usu to the lungs ..... * if mets to lung = 20% survival and 60-70% without  
🗑
Osteosarcoma Imaging ?   * osteomyelitis mimics this ..... * see classical Sunburst pattern ..... * Zone of transition- best to Dx malignancy/benign..... * usu in Long Bones ...... *see lytic lesions on X-Ray  
🗑
Osteosarcoma Summary ?   * Seen in the second decade of life -- presents in physically active teens, misDx as sports injury -- see sunburst pattern on film -- CT of chest may show lung mets -- biopsy needed for Dx -- often limb salvage done at time of biospy --chemo started after  
🗑
Benign Bone Forming Tumors Summary ?   * Osteoid osteoma (10-20 yrs): go away with maturity ane bone pain is lowered with salicylates (aspirin) ....... * Osteoma (any age): on face/skull ....... * Osteoblastoma(10-20yrs): located in vertebrae, and need spinal stability and surgery  
🗑
Cartilage Forming Tumors ?   * Osteochondroma -- Chondromas -- Chondroblastoma -- Chondromyxoid fibroma -- Chondrosarcoma  
🗑
Osteochondroma basics ?   * Known as Exostosis and is the and is the Most common benign bone tumor seen in ppl in 20's .... * usu in men and usu solitary  
🗑
Osteochondroma bones involved ?   * Develop only in bones of endochondral origin and arise from the metaphysis near the growth plate of long tubular bones, occasionally from bones of the pelvis, scapula and ribs.... * Rare, but 1% Can transform into chondrosarcoma  
🗑
If there are multiple nodules in Osteochondroma ?   * they have Multiple hereditary exostosis syndrome  
🗑
Morphology of Osteochondroma ?   * Bone marrow and cortical surface are in continuity with the mass has a cartilaginous cap ...... * see no columnar organization, but see more Hypertrophic Zone  
🗑
Chondromas basics ?   * Benign tumors of hyaline cartilage that occur in bones of enchondral origin ........ * get in 20s- 40's  
🗑
When chondromas arise in the medullary cavity ?   * enchondromas  
🗑
When chondromas arise On surface of the bone ?   * subperiosteal or juxtacortical chondroma  
🗑
Chondroma locations they usu take place at ?   * favored sites are tubular bones of hands and feet – usu. on the knuckles  
🗑
Chondromas Cx Sx and other things it can cause ?   * usu no pain, but can have it ...... * Ollier disease = multiple enchondromas ....... * Maffuci syndrome = Enchondromatosis and soft tissue hemangioma  
🗑
Morphology of Enchondroma ?   * Well-circumscribed nodules of cytologically benign hyaline cartilage that are blue/gray.... * location is helpful to Dx  
🗑
ENCHONDROMA imaging ?   * looks like bone infarct on XRay.... * see calcification in phalanges ..... * looks like Chondrosarcoma too, which is painful bones and aggressive  
🗑
Chondroblastoma basics, locations, and morpho ?   * Rare benign tumor in teens ..... * see in knee/epiphysis, and become painful and restrict joint mvt ..... * morpho: Tumor is composed of sheets of compact polyhedral chondroblasts  
🗑
Chondromyxoid fibroma basics ?   * Rarest of cartilage tumors ...... * mistaken for osteosarcoma usu..... * see in teens- 20's.... * CxSx: dull, achy, localized pain  
🗑
Chondrosarcoma basics and CxSx?   * produces neoplastic cartilage and in 2nd decade (40's) ....... * Present as painful, progressively enlarging masses....... * see in ribs , pelvis, and shoulder  
🗑
Morphology of Chondrosarcoma ?   * lobules of hyaline and myxoid cartilage permeating throughout the medullary cavity .....----.....grows through the cortex and forms a relatively well-circumscribed soft tissue mass

🗑
Three clinical patterns of Fibrous Dysplasia = ?   * Monostotic -70% = seen in one bone only and found accidentally ........ * Polyostotic -27% = multiple bones, see recurrent fractures ........ * McCune-Albright syndrome – 3% = see Poly. + skin pigmentation and precocious puberty in girls usu

🗑
Miscellaneous Bone Tumors (4) ?   * Ewing sarcoma/PNET --- Giant –Cell tumor --- Aneurysmal bone cyst --- Metastatic disease

Ewing Sarcoma/PNET seen in who, CxSx and where?   * Second most common bone sarcoma in children (average age 10-15 y/o) ........ * see in femur ....... * CxSx: Painful, enlarging mass some with fever, leukocytosis, inc. ESR and anemia  
🗑
Ewing Sarcoma/PNET is from ?   * get from Chromosomal translocation of (11;22)  
🗑
Ewing Sarcoma/PNET histo ?   * see round cells with scant cytoplasm that appears clear due to glycogen.... *onion peel looking lesion = buzzword  
🗑
Giant Cell tumor (GCT) basics ?   * Aka Osteoclastoma ....... * see in 20 -40 yr olds ........ * both epiphyses and metaphyses involved ...... * Sx almost like arthritis...... * See Necrosis, hemorrhage, and osteoclasts in histo.  
🗑
GCT imaging ?   * ends of bones and epiphysis must be closed  
🗑
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst basics ?   * benign and in 2nd decade ages usu. ....... * see pain and swelling ...... * Develops in the mataphyses of long bones ...... *from translocation of 17p13  
🗑
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst histo ?   * Wall of cyst lined by giant cells… look for blood being surrounded ..... * can regress on its own  
🗑
Metastatic Bone Disease basics ?   * Most common form of skeletal malignancy ..... *ppl over 40..... * found via PET Scan.... * tmt = limb salvage and chemo  
🗑
Metastatic lesion appearance on X-Ray ?   * either Lytic-lucent, loss of bone matrix density --- or --- Blastic- dense, increased bony whiteness, usually slower growing  
🗑
Mets that is Always lytic?   * Renal  
🗑
Similar to Ewing ?   * Osteosarcoma - look at chart in this lec before test for commonalities and differences
