Bones 2 Flashcards
(35 cards)
malignant primary tumors of bone and cartilage
chondrosarcoma
osteosarcoma
multilobular tumor of bone
malignant neoplasms arising from chondrocytes
chondrosarcoma
location chondrosarcoma
flat bones
location of chondrosarcoma in older large breed dogs
nasal bones
ribs
pelvis
location of chondrosarcoma in sheep
ribs
sternum
lymph nodes with chondrosarcoma
regional nodes
lungs
tracheobronchial nodes
most common tumor in large and giant dogs breeds but have been diagnosed in smaller dogs as well
osteosarcoma
location of osteosarcoma generally
long bones
sometimes in head, ribs, vertebra and pelvis
location of osteosarcoma in dogs
proximal humerus and distal radius/ulna on front leg
distal femur and proximal tibia on rear limb
devoid of direct blood flow so its ability to respond to injury and heal is limited
articular cartilage
an early degenerative change of damaged articular cartilage with superficial erosion of the cartilage surface (dull, rough, yellow)
fibrillation
secondary to loss of structural proteoglycans
fibrillation
characterized by complete localized loss of articular cartilage leading to exposure of the underlying subchondral bone
eburnation
lesions of eburnation
exposed subchondral bone thickened
ulceration of articular cartilage on the mating surface
bony outgrowths that form from chondrification/ossification of fibrous tissue
osteophytosis
location of osteophytosis
immediately adjacent to joints where the articular cartilage meets the periosteum or synovial capsule
causes of osteophytes
joint instability
joint injury
lesions of osteophytes
bone spurs
permanent joint deformation
non-specific indication of chronic joint damage
free floating, viable fragments of cartilage and bone within a joint space
joint mouse
common, non-specific reaction to a chronically damaged synovial membrane becomes roughened and velvety
villous hyperplasia / hypertrophy
cells present in villous hyperplasia
lymphocytes
plasma cells
hemosiderin-laden macrophages
thickening of the synovium secondary to the deposition of granulation tissue and fibrous tissue in response to chronic joint injury
joint pannus
sequelae of long term villous hyperplasia
joint pannus
fibrous tissues surrounding the joint leading to stiffness and limited mobility
arthrofibrosis
