Case Correlations
OSCE Review
  • TUMORS
2
How to approach tumors:
  • Pay attention to hx:
    • age of patient
  • Analyzing the lesion:
    • location
      • metaphyseal, epiphyseal, diaphyseal
      • type of tisssue involved
    • position of lesion in transverse plane:
      • Soft tissue
      • Medullary
      • Cortical
      • Periosteal



3
How to approach tumors:
  • Analyzing the lesion:
    • pattern of destruction
      • lytic vs blastic vs mixed
    • aggressiveness
    • periosteal reactions
    • matrix of lesion
      • osseous, cartilage or fibrous

Metastatic Bone Disease
  • From another primary site
  • 70% of all malignancies.
  • Either lytic or blastic
  • breast, prostate, lung and kidney.
7
Metastatic Disease
  • most patients 4th decade
  • weight loss
  • anemic
  • pain and pathological fracture as initial finding


8
Metastatic Disease
  • What is the MC primary sites in males and females?
    • female: breast cancer
    • male: prostate cancer
    • primary from lung is the 2nd MC primary site in both males and females
  • What is the pattern of bone destruction in metastatic disease from the primaries above?
    • mets from breast: 80% lytic 10% blastic
    • mets from prostate: 80% to 90% blastic
    • mets from lung: mainly lytic
9
What other imaging can you use and what are their advantages over plain film?
  • bone scan
  • CT /MRI
10
Bone Scan

  • Whole body scan for other mets sites
  • Generally available
11
MRI
  • most sensitive

"Primary malignancies are 30%"
  • Primary malignancies are 30% of all malignancies

16
Multiple Myeloma
  • malignant proliferation of plasma cells

    • Bence-Jones protein in 40% (IgG and IgA most commonly elevated)


17
Case 3

19
Osteosarcoma
  • Primary malignant tumor of bone
  • 2 age ranges of incidence:
    • 1) 10-25 years of age
    • 2) over 60 years of age
  • 75% in 10-25 year range
  • 2:1 male predominance
  • painful swelling of involved site



20
What is a perisosteal reaction?
  • Continous
    • benign
  • Discontinous
    • malignant and aggressive
      • Laminated (onion skin)
      • Radiating, spiculated (sunburst)

Case 4
24
 
25
Chondrosarcoma
  • age of presentation is 40-60 years of age
  • development of large soft tissue mass
  • metaphyseal or diaphyseal location
  • “popcorn” matrix in 66%;
  • laminated or spiculated periosteal reaction
26
Case 5
27
 
28
 
29
Ewing’s Sarcoma
  • 4th most common primary malignant tumor
  • localized pain and swelling at the site
  • symptoms may simulate an infection
  • involves femur, tibia and fibula most commonly
  • WBC’s may be elevated
30
Radiology
  • typically diaphyseal
  • permeative bone destruction with “onion skin” periosteal rxn
  • cortical “saucerization” (beveling) is characteristic
31
Case 6
32
Giant Cell Tumor
  • metaphysis
  • subarticular location
  • radiolucent eccentric
  • “soap bubble”
  • radiological differentiation of benign and malignant is not feasible
33
 
34
Hemangioma
  • blood vessel lesion

  • 75% occur below 20 years of age
  • pedunculated
  • sessile

What is the name of the condition where there are multiple osteochondroma?
  • Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) or diaphyseal aclasis
