Hyperparathyroidism

osteitis fibrosa cystica; brown tumor + sheets of osteoclasts; no inflammation, bone is replaced w/ cysts & fibrous tissue

fracture healing

blood clot -> neutrophils -> macrophages -> soft tissue callus -> activate osteoblasts -> boney callus -> excess bone cartilage and fibrous tissue -> remodel callus along stress liens

fracture callus

<2cm diameter; teens + 20s; M>F; 50% in femur or tibia; present w/ severe nocturnal pain

osteoblastoma

like osteoid osteoma, >2cm, mostly in spine; present w/ dull pain

osteoid osteoma

osteoid osteoma

osteosarcoma

malignant mesenchymal tumor producing bone matrix; mostly <20 yo; in metaphyseal region of long bones; most common in knee

osteosarcoma presentation

painful bone or fracture; 20% w/ pulmonary mets; lytic & blastic mass that breaks thru cortex; Codman triangle (lifted periosteum)

osteosarcoma - gross

osteosarcoma - xray

osteosarcoma histology; see malignant disorganized osteoblasts w/ large bizarre nuclei

Osteochondroma

benign cartilage-capped tumor; MC benign bone tumor; most solitary; formed by exostosis (bony outgrowth)

osteochondroma - histology

Chondroma

benign tumor of hyaline cartilage; most solitary; in medullary cavity = endchondroma

Ollier's disease

multiple chondromas

Maffucci's syndrome

chondroma a/w hemangioma

chondroma

chondroblastoma

rare, young, painful, benign; F>M, usually around knee

chondroblastoma

chondrosarcoma

produce neoplastic cartilage; can be intramedullary or juxtacortical; diff histologies (hyaline, clear cell, dedifferentiated, mesenchymal); involve central skeleton, mets to lungs & skeleton

chondrosarcoma epidemiology

40+ y/o, M>F; arise along w/ endchondroma, fibrous dysplasia or Pagets

chondrosarcoma - gross

chondrosarcoma - histology

chondromyxoid fibroma

rare, young; 3-8cm w/ cartilage, fibrous & myxoid areas; present w/ dull pain; benign

Fibrous cortical defect (non-ossifying fibroma)

very common; children >2y/o; developmental defect in tibia & femur; mostly asympomatic, resolve

fibrous dysplasia

benign; normal bone that doesn't mature properly; can enlarge and distort the bone; chinese letter trabeculae; present in 20-40 y/o

McCune-Albright syndrome

polyostotic fibrous dysplasia + cafe-au-lait skin + pigmentations + endocrinopathy

fibrous dysplasia

Fibrosarcoma (Malignant fibrous histiocytoma)

older patients; collagen-producing tumor, malignant

Ewing sarcoma

small round cell tumor; have neurophenotype, c-myc oncogene; 2nd MC bone tumor in kids; translocation of EWS fusion protein; present w/ painful mass & low grade fever; mass in femur, flat bones of pelvis

Primitive neuroectodermal tumor

like Ewing sarcoma but in adults; extraskeletal presentation

Ewing sarcoma

Giant cell tumor

benign locally aggressive; proliferating osteoclasts; incr. RANKL promotes osteoclast precursor proliferation; epiphyses & metaphyses affected; knee; 20-40 y/o; pain and fractures; recur if not totally removed

giant cell tumor of bone

Aneurysmal bone cyst

benign tumor; multiloculated blood-filled cystic spaces; a/w 17p13 translocation; first 2 decades; metaphyses of long bones & vertebral bodies

MC malignancy in bone?

metastatic tumors
