METASTATIC
OSTEOID OSTEOMAS
Benign tumors accounting for 2 to 3% of all bone biopsies.
As with most primary bony neoplasms, they occur most often in males, classically those under 25 years of age. 50% will occur in the femur or tibia. The clinical hallmark of these lesions is that they present with severe pain which worsens at night. The pain is dramatically relieved by aspirin. On x-ray, these are classically small radiolucent lesions with a sclerotic border
OSTEOSARCOMAS
commonest of the primary malignant bone tumours. 50% cases are related to the knee, effecting the metaphyses and adjacent diaphyses of femur and tibia. They seem to arise in the long bones which show the greatest longitudinal growth. With large tumours, the site of origin is inferred from the centre of radius of the mass. The diaphyses are involved more extensively than plain films indicate. Joint involvement is rare.
UNICAMERAL BONE CYSTS
SOLITARY bone cysts are most commonly found in the upper humerus, as in this x-ray, or in the femur. They tend to occur in males under twenty years of age, and are thought to be due to a disturbance of bone growth with a superimposed trauma. The cysts may sometimes present as pathological fractures (not present in this case.)
ABC...
ANEURYSMAL BONE CYSTS
are rapidly growing, destructive lesions, with destruction of the cortex. They account for 2% of "bone tumors". Approximately 50% of these are associated with another bony lesion.
BONE ISLANDS

Explain the difference between a secondary bone tumor and a secondary malignant bone tumor
A:
3. You have a 67 year old male patient who was diagnosed with Pagets’ Disease fifteen years ago. He has just been diagnosed with a bone neoplasia in a bone that had been affected by Pagets’. Using the chart below, where would you place this type of neoplasia and why?
A:
Explain any similarities or differences on how infections and neoplasias spread in the body.
A:
GIANT CELL TUMOR
1. Giant Cell Tumors - are benign tumors accounting for 2 to 3% of all bone biopsies. As with most primary bony neoplasms, they occur most often in males, classically those under 25 years of age. 50% will occur in the femur or tibia. The clinical hallmark of these lesions is that they present with severe pain which worsens at night. Aspirin dramatically relieves the pain. On x-ray, these are classically small radiolucent lesions with a sclerotic border.
X-ray presentation of GIANT CELL TUMOR
On x-ray, these are classically small radiolucent lesions with a sclerotic border.
MULTIPLE MYELOMA
versus
plasmocytoma D/dx?
a plasma cell tumor of the bone marrow. If it is seen in just one bone, it is defined as an isolated plasmacytoma. If the patient demonstrates increased protein in either the urine or the blood, consistent with the excretion of the protein chains manufactured by the plasma cells, then the disease is considered multiple myeloma.
Since is it more of a systemic disease, surgery does not play the primary role other than for diagnosis or in cases of pathologic fracture. The main treatment is chemotherapy
MULTIPLE MYELOMA

**. In small lytic lesions, which are often seen in multiple myeloma, radiation is very effective
The plain films show purely lytic disease. The bone scan is often cold since there is very little osteoblastic stimulation
MULTIPLE MYELOMA
5 YEAR survival rate for multiple myeloma is _____%.

If patient has an isolated plamacytoma, what happens?
The overall five-year survival for multiple myeloma is approximately 50%. In the case of an isolated plasmacytoma, 80% progress to multiple myeloma by five years.
EWING'S SARCOMA
primitive mesenchymal cell sarcoma. The pathologic findings include sheets of small round blue cells that stain positive for glycogen. It is a tumor most frequently seen in the first two decades of life, but occasionally it can be seen in patient's up to age 50. The pathology often appears similar to lymphomas
D/dx between lymphoma and EWING'S SARCOMA?
Special pathological markers are used to differentiate the two
The treatment depends on the LOCATION. In expendable bones, the treatment is surgery and preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy. In bone that has a large amount of growth remaining, radiation can substitute for surgery and give similar results. In the pelvis, the best results have been achieved with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation.
EWING'S SARCOMA
Overall 5 year survival rate for EWING'S SARCOMA?

Other treatments?
The overall five-year survival for Ewing's sarcoma is approximately 60%. For patients that have failed chemotherapy due to distant disease, bone marrow transplants are now experimentally being tried.
METASTATIC DISEASE
to the skeleton is an extremely common problem in the end-stage of most carcinomas. In multiple studies, it has been shown that up to 70-80% of patients that died of cancer will have metastatic skeletal disease at autopsy.

HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA
A type of lymphoma wherein the cells of in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and can spread to other organs. As the disease progresses, the body is less able to fight infection.
Cancers that develop in the lymphatic system
Lymphomas
Lymphatic vessels
carry lymph, a colorless, watery fluid that contains infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes.
Small bean shaped organs that filter lymph
NODES
Where are lymph nodes found?
Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarm, groin, neck and abdomen. Other parts of the lymphatic system are the spleen, thymus, tonsils and bone marrow.
Healthy cells grow, divide and replace themselves in an orderly manner. This process keeps the body in good repair. In Hodgkin’s disease?
cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and can spread to other organs. As the disease progresses, the body is less able to fight infection.
Hodgkin's disease is rare. Who has it?
rare. . It accounts for less than 1 percent of all cases of cancer in this country. It is most often seen in young people aged 15 to 34 and in people over the age of 55.
HEMANGIOMAS
cavernous type commonly found, 10% in autopsy series with the vast majority being small, asymptomatic and unable to be seen on plain films, most often in lumbar region and singular complications: compression fractures (occ. with cord compression), chronic hemorrhage -> blockage of spinal canal.
