bone tumors Flashcards
(39 cards)
Most malignant tumors are
painful
aggravating behaviors of malignant bone tumors
weight bearing
most benign tumors dont have
soft tissue masses
soft tissue tumors are often
mobile over the bone
osteoid osteoma is
benign but painful
radiographic features of bone tumors
4 of them
1) destruction of bone
2) periosteal reaction
3) soft tissue mass
4) matrix produced by tumor
Sunburst
onion-skinning and
codman’s triangle are
signs of
malignant periosteal reactions
Periosteal neocortex is a sign of
benign periosteal reaction
Sunburst or hair ends
and osteoid matrix
are typical features of
osteosarcoma
What is codman’s triangle
an angle of new bone that is formed along the cortex as the periosteum is lifted up by the tumor
Onion-skinning is a feature of
ewing’s sarcoma
A thing egg shell of new bone formed by periosteum is
neocortex -
and is benign aggressive
CLouds of bone that has been formed in medullary canal or soft tissue is
osteoid matrix - feature of osteosarcoma
punctate or popcorn calcification is a feature of
benign or malignant chondromas
- chondroid matrix
ground glass/ hazy matrix is
fibrous matrix
only benign tumor that will destroy bone is
giant cell tumor
no soft tissue mass normal ROM no malignant radiographic features but some matrix lesions punctate calcifications
endochondroma - hyaline cartilage involving medullary bone
where do endochondromas occur?
small bones of hands and feet
long tubular bones
how large are endochondromas
< 3cm
white-grey
translucent
often multi-nodular
how do endochondromas look like histologically
resemble hyaline cartilage
lack invasion
A tumor composed of hyaline cartilage
chondrosarcoma
sites of involvement of chondrosarcoma
pelvis
long tubular bones
ribs
gross features of a chondrosarcoma
large
blue-grey
translucent
destructive
how do you treat a chondrosarcoma
no chemorad
