false, bone sarcoma 0.2% of all malignancies, soft tissue sarcomas are <1%

2
Q

bone tumor evaluation process

table 2

4
Q

7 xray questions for bone tumor evaluation

A
- location
aggressiveness
- how large (compared to bone)

histology

5
Q

descriptions of bone

A
  • geographic: margins are sharp and zone of transition is narrow (non-aggressive)
  • moth eaten: multiple lytic lesions in bone (myeloma or metastatic ca)
  • permeative pattern: ill defined margin and wide zone of transition (osteogenic sarcoma)
6
Q

3 patterns of bone

A
  • marginal sclerosis
  • cortical thickening
  • periosteal new bone formation
7
Q

what is marginal sclerosis

A
  • non-aggressive

- gct os more aggressive, does not show marginal sclerosis

8
Q

what is cortical thickening

A
  • high concentrations of pde2 = pain relieved by nsaids

  • osteofibrous dysplasia is seen in pedia pts, benign lesion involving anterior cortex of tibia
9
Q

4 sub patterns of periosteal new bone formation

10
Q

  • cortical thinning seen in enchondromas
  • seen in non-ossifying fibroma
11
Q

what is neocorticalization

A
  • non-aggressive tumor destroying original cortex
  • periosteum forms new layer of bone to contain the tumor
  • gct and enchondroma
12
Q

what is poorly organized periosteal new bone formation

A

more in aggressive (osteosarcoma)

13
Q

what is multi-level periosteal response and onion peel pattern
