Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease)   abnormal development of type I collagen; blue sclera and opalescent teeth  
🗑
achondroplasia   impaired maturation of cartilage in growth plate; major cause of dwarfism  
🗑
osteopetrosis (marble bone disease)   deficient osteoclast activity so defective bone remodeling and pancytopenia  
🗑
osteoporosis   increased porosity of skeleton from reduced bone mass so fragile; related to reduced estrogens  
🗑
Paget disease (osteitis deformans)   bursts of osteoclast resorption, osteoblast deposition and cellular exhaustion; net effect is a gain in bone mass but new bone is weak -possibly due to a paramyxovirus  
🗑
monostotic   Paget disease bone lesion confined to a single bone  
🗑
polyostotic   Paget disease bone lesion in numerous bones  
🗑
mosaic pattern   histological feature of Paget disease, loose interstitium that is very vascular  
🗑
cotton-wool pattern   radiographic pattern of Paget disease, radiolucent and radiopaque areas  
🗑
osteomyelitis   infection that spreads to medullary spaces of bone, often Staphylococcus aureus  
🗑
acute suppurative osteomyelitis   type of osteomyelitis, treat by draining and giving antibiotics  
🗑
chronic suppurative osteomyelitis   type of osteomyelitis, infection causing fibrosing reaction so treat by surgery and antibiotics  
🗑
fibrous dysplasia   replacement of localized bone by proliferation of fibrous tissue and unorganized woven bone  
🗑
monostotic fibrous dysplasia   involves single bone, begins in childhood and stops at puberty  
🗑
polyostotic fibrous dysplasia without endocrine involvement (Jaffe syndrome)   multiple, unilateral bones affected;some cafe-au-lait pigmentation  
🗑
polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in association with endocrinopathies (McCune-Albright syndrome)   melanin pigmentation of skin (cafe-au-lait), majority of bones affected unilaterally and hormone issues  
🗑
Chinese characters   appearance of histological pattern in fibrous dysplasia; fibrous CT with intermixed woven bone  
🗑
ground glass   radiographic appearance of ill-defined increased radiopacity  
🗑
Ewing sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs)   primary malignant small round cell tumors of bone and soft tissue; patients 10-15, arise in medullary cavity and produce expansile mass with onion-skin pattern  
🗑
giant cell tumor (osteoclastoma)   neoplasm of osteoclast-like giant cells with intermixed mononuclear mesodermal cells; most arise in epiphysis of long bones and cause local pain  
🗑
metastatic disease   most common malignancies in bone from prostate, breast, kidney, and lung cancers; prostate metastasis can be radiopaque  
🗑
osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)   most common joint disorder; degeneration of articular cartilage with bone changes occurring as a secondary effect, does not begin with inflammation but causes it  
🗑
fibrillation   vertical fissures in cartilage cap in early stages of osteoarthritis  
🗑
eburnation   when entire bone becomes exposed and is thick and polished  
🗑
osteophytes   small bony outgrowths that cause more inflammation  
🗑
Heberden nodes   nodular enlargement, especially in fingers of osteophytes in osteoarthritis  
🗑
rheumatoid arthritis   systemic, chronic autoimmune disease that attacks the joints  
🗑
pannus   inflammatory hyperplasia of synovial membrane; eventually fills the entire joint space  
🗑
rheumatoid nodules   subcutaneous nodules in areas of mechanical pressure; necrotic collagen surrounded by granulomatous inflammation  
🗑
rheumatoid factor   autoantibodies that attach to host's own IgG antibodies  
🗑
gout   tissue accumulation of excessive amounts of uric acid that crystallizes  
🗑
primary (idiopathic) gout   gout of unknown cause or an inborn metabolic issue  
🗑
secondary gout   cause is known or gout is not the main disorder; often in chemo patients and renal failure  
🗑
acute arthritis   precipitation of urate crystals in synovial fluid and membranes; in big toe and cooler joints  
🗑
chronic arthritis   secondary to repeated acute attacks; crystals penetrate the bone and tissue and persist  
🗑
tophus   deposit of urate crystals, diagnostic of gout  
🗑
intercritical gout   asymptomatic period in between attacks  
🗑
myasthenia gravis   autoimmune disease of depletion of acetylcholine receptors; weakness, fatigue of muscles and thymic issues  
🗑
ptosis   dropping of eyelids in myasthenia gravis  
🗑
diplopia   double vision in myasthenia gravis  
🗑
Duchenne muscular dystrophy   X-linked recessive disorder, absence of dystrophin (holds myocyte together)  
🗑
pseudohypertrophy   replacement of lost muscle cells with fibrofatty tissue  
🗑
fibrous tissue tumor   fibromatosis, fibrous histiocytoma -fibrosarcoma  
🗑
adipose tissue tumor   lipoma -liposarcoma  
🗑
striated muscle tumor   rhabdomyoma -rhabdomyosarcoma  
🗑
smooth muscle tumor   leiomyoma -leiomyosarcoma  
🗑
peripheral nerve tumor   neurofibroma, neurilemoma -neurofibrosarcoma  
🗑
blood vessel tumor   hemangioma -angiosarcoma  
🗑
lymphatic vessel tumor   lymphangioma -lymphangiosarcoma  
🗑
bone forming cell tumor   osteoma, osteoblastoma -osteosarcoma  
🗑
cartilage tumor   chrondroma -chondrosarcoma  
🗑
interstitial tumor   fibromatosis-fibrosarcoma hemangioma-angiosarcoma neurofibroma-neurosarcoma  
🗑
