Study Notes
Systematic Approach to Osseous Lesions
- Ask 5 questions to diagnose bone lesions:
- 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?
- Is the lesion more likely benign or malignant based on cellular features and imaging studies?
- Does the anatomical diagnosis correlate with the clinical picture and radiographic appearance of the lesion?
General Locations of Bone Tumors
- Diaphysis: Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma
- Metaphysis: osteosarcoma
- Physis: giant cell tumor
- Epiphysis: bone tumors
Bone-Forming Tumors
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
Osteoid Osteoma and 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 osteoblastoma
Osteoblastoma
- Age: teens-twenties
- Site: vertebral column, other
- Size: > 2 cm
- X-ray: radiolucent nidus, less (or no) sclerotic rim
- Prognosis: good, if totally excised
- Histologic appearance: identical to osteoid osteoma, 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 <20 years old and >50 years old
