DD

Osteoid osteoma

5-25yrs, M:F-2:1

Any endochondral bone,tibia & femur- 50%. spine - post elements

Pain worse at night relieved by aspirin.

10% spine -> scoliosis. joint effusion, LLD, synovitis

self limiting. surgery for pain relief

Pain decreases as it matures lasting 18 - 30 months

. healed by 3 - 7 years

Nidus < style="text-decoration: underline;">osteoblastic tissue surrounded by vascular fibrous tissue finally surrounded by mature reactive cortical bone. Contains fibroblasts, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, no marrow element. calcified centre in nidus

Lytic nidus surrounded by sclerotic bone (which may mask the nidus)

Centre of nidus may be calcified

CT or tomograms -> diagnosis

Hot spot on bone scan

NSAIDs/ Nidus excision with intact rim of reactive bone.Intraop localisation with Bone scan/Tetracycline/ CT/ X-Ray .( dumbbell nidus)./Percut radiofrequency coagulation

Osteoblastoma

10 - 35 yrs

spine (post elements), / long bones or phalanges

Less intense pain than osteoid osteoma. often with scoliosis

More organised &larger size (2 - 10 cm) Less reactive bone.. Vascular stroma, abundant irregular areas of mineralised bone and osteoid. Vascular tumour +/- haemorrhage and +/- calcification. Texture gritty and friable.Spectrum of aggressiveness

Well demarcated osteolytic lesion sometimes containing flecks of calcification.May be aggressive.metaphyseal/ enlarges bone. periosteum intact. no soft tissue mass. Bone scan - intense activity

Intra capsular resection -> 20% recurrence

En bloc resection -> no recurrence

Use cryotherapy (PMMA) as adjuvant

ABC

osteoid osteoma (spine)

Giant cell tumour

Osteosarcoma (if more aggressive)

Osteosarcomas

10 - 20 & 50 - 70 yrs, M>F

distal femur or around the knee.

metaphyseal

Pain-constant and worse at night. Pathological fracture rare.

tender lump which may lack a definite edge and may be attached to muscle

may pulsate and feel warm. Telangiectatic-osteolytic-path # of femur tibis diaphysis.

Pleomorphic and anaplastic cells ,abundant fibrous and chondroid matrix. Stroma of spindle cells with numerous mitoses. high grade aggressive tumours. 50% osteoblastic, 25% chondroid, 25% fibroblastic. 20% are secondary (eg Pagets, enchondromas, osteochondromas, chronic osteomyelitis, irradiation, fibrous dysplasia, osteopetrosis, 100% of bilateral retinoblastomas and bone infarction). In the metaphysis, initially extends within medulla, perforates the cortex, raise periosteum -> Codman's triangle.As the tumour mass expands new bone forms along vascular channels -> appearance of sunray spicules. Mets via blood to lung , bones. oncogenes - Retinoblastoma gene and P53

Variable with combination of bone destruction and bone formation. Sun ray spicules (Radial ossification) and Codmans triangle (lifting of periosteum).Cortical breach common. Adjacent soft tissue mass.Joint space rarely involved.25% Lytic, 35% Sclerotic, 40% Mixed

primary by en bloc excision and microscopic disease by chemotherapy (Methotrexate -> 80% response).T10 regimen (methotrexate, vincristine, adriamycin). for 12 months. Radiotherapy- local pain /surgically inaccessible lesions / painful mets. Relatively radio-resistant, pre-operatively to decrease the size and vascularity. Sx- Wide resection / Amputation. Reconstruction -Allografts/Endoprosthesis/ expendable bone (fibula, ilium)/ Rotationplasty

Untreated -> 95% death in 2 years.10% have macro-metastases at presentation; 90% have micro-metastases.metastatic (Stage 3) disease 5 year survival now 30 - 40% (10-20% with surgery alone). adults /big/secondary tumor/proximal/telangiectatic/high grade is bad. Parosteal / Intra osseous (classical) osteosarcoma -> good prognosis.Pathological fracture does not affect prognosis

callus / myositis ossificans

Stress fracture

Osteomyelitis or syphilis

Benign bone tumour

Ewings

Parosteal Osteosarcoma

30 - 50 yrs. F>M

posterior aspect of distal femur, juxtametaphyseal

constant ache or lump

Well circumscribed mass.May be separated from cortex by a lucent line (30%).Broad based tumour with mottled calcification. Cortex not eroded

Does not invade medullary cavity . Tends to encircle bone

Chemotherapy or radiotherapy not effective in preventing recurrence -> wide surgical resection

better than classical osteosarcoma. 70-80% 5 year survival.not different in relation to stage at presentation

Osteochondroma

Myositis ossificans
