Q

If the lesion grows in fits and starts, periosteum may have time to lay down thin shell of calcified new bone before the lesion starts another growth spurt-leads to concentric shells of new bone over the lesion

A

lamellated or “onion-skin”

  • associated with Ewings sarcoma

Q

Rapid growth of bone –> appearance-periosteum has no time to lay down bone, but Sharpey’s fibers become stretched out perpendicular to the bone, and then ossify-lesion is malignant until proven otherwise

A

“sun-burst” or “hair-on-end”
