Q

descriptions of bone

A
  • geographic: margins are sharp and zone of transition is narrow (non-aggressive)

Q

what is ground glass matrix

A
  • fibrous dysplasia
  • bone does not mature to lamellar bone but remains as woven bone interspersed within a fibrous background
  • when found on the hip = coxa vara or shepherd’s crook deformity

Q

benign neoplasms

A

fibrous: fibrous cortical defect, non-ossifying fibroma, fibrous dysplasia
lytic: unicameral bone cyst, giant cell tumor
osseous lesions: osteoid osteoma
cartilaginous: osteochondroma, enchondroma

23
Q

what are fibrous cortical defects and non-ossifying fibromas

A
  • age: children and adolescents
  • site: metaphyseal cortical defect, long bones
  • fcd: <2-3 cm, nof >3 cm
  • geographic borders
  • sclerotic rim
  • dx: incidental on xray
  • tx :if symptomatic, needs surgery
24
Q

what are fibrous dysplasias

A
  • age: monoostotic any age, 5-20 yrs
  • age: polyostotic any age
  • ground glass matrix
  • due to failure of bone to mature to lamellar bone causing deformities
25
Q

what are unicameral bone cyst

A
  • age: 4-13
  • proximal humerus, femur, metaphyseal to disphyseal
  • central lytic lesion
  • geographic
  • no soft tissue component
  • fallen leaf sign!!! (broken bone cortex at bottom of cyst
  • resolves as skeleton matures
  • can have pathologic fractures
26
Q

what are giant cell tumors

A
  • skeletally mature 20-30
  • epimetaphyseal, around knee, distal radius
  • no matrix (lytic)
  • cortices thinned out, expanded, or deficient with soft tissue extension
  • can be locally aggressive
  • tx: medical and surgery
27
Q

what are osteoid osteoma

A
  • age 10-30
  • usually cortical
  • small, 1-2 cm lucent nidus with surrounding sclerotic reaction (thick bone)
  • high pge2 in nidus = pain and stimulates osteoblasts to produce bone
  • pain relieved by nsaids
  • tx: ablation of nidus
28
Q

what is an osteochondroma

A
  • 10 yo, <20
  • surface lesion, metaphyseal
  • sessile or pedunculated bony outgrowth with cartilaginous cap
  • +/- calcifications
  • due to abnormal growth of bone perpendicular to epiphysis
  • growth after maturity = metastasis
29
Q

what is enchondroma

A
  • 15-40 yo
  • within shafts of long tubular bones, hands, and feet
  • chondroid matrix, endosteal scalloping, no cortical break, no soft tissue extension
  • long bones
  • symptomatic: curettage and bone graft
  • long bone destruction - malignant degeneration

40
Q

types of closed biopsy

A

fnab and core needle

41
Q

A

table 23

45
Q

osteosarcoma tx

A

1: both surgery and chemo
2: neoadjuvant, surgery, finish chemo (always stage)

46
Q

surgery in osteosarcoma

A
  • local tumor control: limb sparing resection or limb amputation
  • final pathologic evaluation
47
Q

48
Q

contraindications for limb salvage

A
  • surgical margins are inadequate
  • survival is not expected to exceed 3 mos
  • gross contamination with tumor (poorly performed biopsy, certain pathologic fractures, inadvertent surgery with unresectable positive margins)
49
Q

what is autograft - vascularized fibular graft

A
  • for long bone defects
