Study Notes
Chondrosarcomas
- Arise from mesenchymal stem cells
- Undergo partial differentiation to form chondroblastic differentiation or cartilage
- A true chondrosarcoma cannot demonstrate bone
- Radiographically, early chondrosarcomas show a widening of the periodontal ligament space (Garrington sign)
Ewing Sarcoma
- A very aggressive and destructive malignancy of bone
- Arises from marrow mesenchymal stem cells
- Characterized by reciprocal translocation of chromosomes 11 and 22
- Clinically manifests as a rapidly expanding lesion
- Accompanied by mobile teeth, fever, and bone necrosis
- Can be confused clinically with osteomyelitis
- Radiographically produces an ill-defined destructive lesion with focal areas of residual bone
- Residual bone resembles sequestra
