50/51: Bone Tumors - Mahoney Flashcards
best radiologic test to help diagnose bone lesions, including tumors
x-ray
when do you do a biopsy?
last step
- do not do if you will not be treating the malignancy or the center of biopsy performance will not be performing biopsy
latent
thin sclerotic or radiolucent narrow margin (0.1-1.0 mm), no periosteal reaction, absent soft tissue mass
active
wide (2-10 mm) margin, none or mild periosteal reaction, absent soft tissue mass
aggressive
wide or poorly defined margin, mild or major periosteal reaction, soft tissue mass present
several ill-defined areas of lucency
moth eaten - aggressive
ill-defined pattern of lucency caused by many small irregular holes in the bone
permeative - aggressive infection or malignancy
geographic lesions
lesion grows slowly, bone has time to retreat and lay down new bone around the lesion
lesion grows in fits or starts, periosteum has time to lay down thin shell of new bone before the leion starts another growht sput
lamellate/ onion skin
sun burst/ hair on end
periosteum has no time to lay down bone, but sharpey’s fibers bevome stretched out perpendicular to bone and then ossify
codman’s triangle
only the edges of the raised periosteum will ossify - this little bit of ossification forms a small angle with the surface of bone, but not a complete triangle
non-metastatic diseases the produce periosteal reactions
HEATHV
hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy endosteal hyperostosis acromegaly thyroid acropachy hypervitaminosis A *** venous stasis
what is bone matrix?
substance in bone produced by osteoblasts AND chondroblasts
speckled
chondroid matrix
cloudy
osseous matrix
ground glass
fibrous, cystic lesion producing little or no calcification
4 cartilage forming tumors
osteochondroma
solitary enchondroma
chondroblastoma
chondrosarcoma
2 bone forming tumors
osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma
osteogenic sarcoma
benign tumors
enchondroma osteochondroma osteoid osteoma osteoblastoma giant cell tumore (10% malignant) chondroblastoma
malignant tumors
osteogenic sarcoma chondrosarcoma fibrosarcoma ewing's sarcoma metastatic carcinoma
