location, matrix (bone, cartilage, fat, gland-like, spindle, mitotic figures- essentially histology) , what is tumor doing to bone, what is bone doing to tumor
Hazards of Biopsy
done by surgeon peforming definitive surgery; don’t give antibiotics until tissue taken, do not violate compartments
Types of biopsy
FNA (75% accuracy), Core (85% accuracy), Open (96% accuracy). Open Bx is gold standard and probably the right answer on a test

Ennekings classifications
Benign arabic, Malignant Roman; A is intracompartmental, B is extracompartmental; I is low grade, II is high grade, III is metastatic
Ennekings classification of benign tumors
1: latent, 2: active, 3: aggressive
Prognostic factors in soft tissue tumors
Size (>5cm), grade (most important), depth (deep to investing fascia)
Types of surgical resection
Incisional: within lesion; Marginal: at tumor margin; Wide: normal margin of tissue; Radical: entire compartment removed
Adjuvant treatment for bone sarcomas
chemotherapy and surgery for bone sarcomas (ewings and osteosarcoma)
Soft tissue sarcomas adjuvant treatment
typically radiotherapy plus surgery (wide excision)
Heterotopic bone prophylaxis radiation dose
5 Gy
Soft tissue sarcoma radiation dose
50-65 Gy
Most common stage of osteosaroma at presentation
IIB (high grade malignant, extracompartmental, not metastatic)
Concern with atraumatic hematoma
often a soft tissue sarcoma- sarcoma with hemorrhage looks identical to hematoma; biopsy before washout.
Most prognositic feature of soft tissue sarcoma
Histologic grade is more important than size and depth
Distant metastasis in soft tissue sarcoma
80% of mets go to lungs, 80% metastasize within 2 years
Chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcomas
No real role- radiotherapy is preferred by most musculoskeletal oncologists.
Most common soft tissue tumors

MRI imaging soft tissue sarcomas
Bright on T2, dark on T1 except for low grade liposarcoma- looks like normal fat
Benign Fibromatosis
firm nodules- hand (Dupuytens) Feet (lederhosen’s disease) MRI- dark on T1 & T2; resection requires complete resection
Lipoma versus Liposarcoma
Determined by biopsy; larger lesions (>5-6cm) more likely to have some malignant component
Schwannoma- clinical features
often positive tinnels sign; can see egg-shaped or spherical tumor on nerve; very easy to resect surgically (not interdigitated with nerve)
Neurofibroma- clinical features
solitary lesions not associated with major nerve- often near skin; resect only if symptomatic
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor
S-100 positive; arise spontaneously or in NF patients; tumor usually follows nerve; Treatment same as STS- radiation and wide excision

small lesion most common in hand/forearm; tends to have lymph node mets; mimic other hand conditions
Soft tissue sarcoma with lymph mets
epithelioid sarcoma, angiosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma
PVNS- treatment
gold standard open synovectomy; if not diffuse, may be amenable to arthroscopy; can do chemotherapy if recalcitrant
Synovial chondromatosis
“rice bodies” often ossified and visible on x-ray
Cat scratch disease and soft tissue sarcoma
mimics soft tisue sarcoma; expansion of lymph node. Treatment is Antibiotics; organism is bartonella <distal humerus node>
Order of Staging
1. History and Physical 2. Local Staging 3. Systemic Staging 4. Biopsy
Bone producing lesions
osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, osteosarcoma
Diagnosis and Staging of suspected multiple myeloma
Diagnosis: SPEP/UPEP; Staging: skeletal survey (not bone scan)
Osteoid osteoma: clinical features & Tx
Nidus < 2cm; self limited growth, thickened cortex on one side, responds well to NSAIDs, sclerotic nidus on CT; Tx excise or radiofrequency ablation
Osteoblastoma: clinical features & Tx
age 10-25, >2cm on imaging, pain not limited by NSAIDS; may be mixed lytic/blastic and expansile diaphyseal lesion with central lucency; Histology shows osteoid; Tx: intralesional resection
Pagets disease relationship to tumors
can degenerate into osteosarcoma- bimodal distribution of osteosarcoma; tends to be more axial; very bad prognosis
Parosteal osteosaroma
usually posterior distal femur; suck-on appearance- no intramedullary connection (as opposed to osteochondroma); low grade; treat with wide excision only; no chemotherapy!
Telangiectatic osteosarcoma: clinical features
aggressive with large amounts of lysis; fluid/fluid levels (like ABC); malignant osteoid with vascular lakes and channels and some giant cells
