    Study Notes

    Bone Tumors: Characteristics and Classification

    Osteoma

    • Rare benign tumor of mature bone
    • Age: 40-50 years old
    • Site: cortical bones of skull and face
    • X-ray: well-delimited nodule
    • Prognosis: good (simple excision), slow-growing, not invasive, no malignant transformation
    • May cause local and mechanical problems (e.g. sinus obstruction; osteoma in endosteal surface of brain)

    Osteoid Osteoma & Osteoblastoma

    • Benign neoplasms with identical histology
    • Differ in size, sites of origin, X-ray features, and symptoms
    • Osteoblastoma = "giant osteoid osteoma"
    • X-ray: central area of tumor (nidus); usually radiolucent, surrounded by rim of sclerotic bone
    • Both painful lesions, but pain is relieved by aspirin in osteoid osteoma, not in osteoblastoma

    Osteoblastoma

    • Age: teens to twenties
    • Site: vertebral column, other
    • Size: > 2 cm
    • X-ray: radiolucent nidus, less (or no) sclerotic rim
    • Prognosis: good, if totally excised
    • Histologic appearance: interlacing trabeculae of woven bone surrounded by osteoblasts; loose connective tissue stroma (no marrow elements); may see giant cells
    • Pain not relieved by aspirin

    Osteosarcoma

    • Malignant mesenchymal tumor
    • Neoplastic cells produce osteoid (unmineralized bone matrix); sometimes makes cartilage
    • Most common 1° malignant tumor of bone (20% of 1° bone malignancies)
    • M:F = 1.6:1
    • Bimodal age distribution: 75% occur in patients

    General Locations of Bone Tumors

    • Diaphysis: Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma
    • Metaphysis: osteosarcoma
    • Physis: giant cell tumor
    • Epiphysis: various tumors

    Systematic Approach to Bone Tumors

    • What is the lesion's pattern of growth?
    • Are the cells of the lesion producing anything?
    • What do the cells of the lesion look like?
    • Based on cellular features and imaging studies, is the lesion more likely benign or malignant?
    • Does the anatomical diagnosis (i.e. pathology) correlate with the clinical picture and radiographic appearance of the lesion?
