SITE OF LONG BONE INVOLVEMENT Figure after Madewell, et al 1981Madewell, et al 1981
6
Tumors in Bone may be: PRIMARY SECONDARY (Metastatic)
7
Secondary tumors are more common than primary. Common sites of primary cancers that metastasize to bone : prostate, breast, thyroid, kidney, lung, GIT Secondary tumor may radiologically be: osteoblastic (prostate, breast) osteolytic (kidney, lung and melanoma) mixed.
8
In children: Neuroblastoma, Nephroblastoma Osteosarcoma Ewing sarcoma Rhabdomyosarcoma… Sites involved by metastasis: axial skeleton (vertebral column, pelvis, ribs, skull, sternum), proximal femur humerus.
9
Primary Bone Tumors Benign or malignant Hematopoietic. Bone-forming. Cartilage-forming. Miscellaneous: fibrous, unknown origin, neuroectodermal, notochordal... etc Benign Ts outnumber their malignant counterparts Multiple myeloma is the most common 1ry bone cancer in mid-late adulthood Osteosarcoma is the most common 1ry bone cancer in children/adolescents.
10
Histologic typeBenignMalignant Hematopoietic (40%)Myeloma Lymphoma Chondrogenic (22%)Osteochondroma Chondroma Chondroblastoma Chondromyxoid fibroma Chondrosarcoma 2 Osteogenic (19%)Osteoid osteoma Osteoblastoma Osteosarcoma 1 FibrogenicFibrous cortical defect (fibroma) Non-ossifyinf fibroma Fibrous dysplasia Fibrosarcoma Unknown origin (10%)Giant cell tumor Unicameral (simple) cyst Aneurysmal bone cyst NeuroectodermalEwing sarcoma 3 NotochordalBenign notochordal cell tumor Chordoma
11
Bone-Forming Tumors
12
1-OSTEOID OSTEOMA/OSTEOBLASTOMA O. Osteoma in proximal femur < 1.5-2 cm. Age: teenage & twenties, M:F is 2:1 Typical symptom: localized pain, worse at night, relieved by aspirin (O. Osteoma) X-ray: well-defined cortical metaphyseal tumor with a radiolucent central nidus. Histology: Interlacing trabeculae of woven bone surrounded by osteoblasts with a central vascularized nidus. Simple OSTEOMA occurs in bones of skull – Multiple Osteomas in Gardner syndrome
13
NIDUS Osteoid Osteoma
15
OSTEOBLASTOMA
17
Osteoblastoma is similar, but more than 1.5–2 cm. in size, more in axial skeleton Less localized pain, non-responsive to aspirin Slowly growing, but may be progressing & increasing in size: AGGRESSIVE OSTEOBLASTOMA Important to differentiate from Osteosarcoma
18
2- MALIGNANT: OSTEOSARCOMA Malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, in which the neoplastic cells produce OSTEOID matrix Most common primary malignant non- hematopoietic bone tumor. M>F, 75% < 20 years old. Majority in metaphyses of long bones, most (>= 50%) around the knee. May be multiple in children with p53 mutation (Li-Fraumeni Syndrome)
19
Sites of Osteosarcoma
20
Primary, arising de novo OR Secondary to an underlying bone disease e.g. Paget disease, irradiation Most are intramedullary cortex periosteum soft tissue Rarely extends into joints Location: Classical (Intramedullary) Paraosteal (Juxtacortical) Periosteal
21
Pathogenesis: Genetic mutations: RB gene mutation on chromosome 13 in 60-70% of sporadic cases Inherited in familial retinoblastoma x1000 Other mutations: p53, cyclins, CDKs…etc Predisposing conditions
22
Clinical features: Enlarging mass, with or without pain. Sometimes pathological fracture. Hematogenous metastasis is common, most likely to the lungs. X-ray: Cortical destruction & extension to the marrow or soft tissue. Codman’s triangle is a radiological term due to periosteal reaction with new bone formation.

Codman’s
24
Osteosarcoma
25
Pathology and Treatment: Pleomorphic large malignant cells, prominent mitoses Lace-like osteoid formed directly by malignant cells. Numerous osteoclasts may be seen Histological Variants: Predominantly osteoblastic Chondroblastic Fibroblastic Telengiectatic & Others
27
Treatment: Chemotherapy → Assess amount of NECROSIS Surgery Radiation
28
Prognosis: Aggressive tumor The prognosis depends on the stage & variant of the tumor (conventional or other variants), location……etc The grade is not as important as stage in osteosarcoma.
30
Primary Cartilage-Forming Tumors
31
1- Chondroma & Enchondroma Solitary benign. Intramedullary (enchondroma) or bone surface(juxtacortical chondroma) Any age can be affected (20-40 yrs) Small bones of hands, feet, long bones, pelvis… Multiple (Ollier D. & Maffucci S.) w. IDH point mutations chondrosarcoma in 1/3. Morphology: well-circumscribed mass of mature cartilage
32
Enchondroma
33
2- Osteochondroma (exostosis) Single or inherited multiple Arise from the metaphysis near growth plate of long tubular bones 1- 20 cm Majority around knee Composed of outgrowth of cartilage cap overlying bone & bone marrow May become ossified Inactivating mutation of EXT1 or EXT2. Very rare malignant transformation (<2%, unless MHE up to 10%)
36
3- Chondrosarcoma Malignant tumor of mesenchymal cells that produce cartilaginous matrix. Older patients, 40-60, M>F. Site: axial skeleton (pelvis, shoulder, ribs), prox. Femur; rarely distal extremities Primary (arise de novo) - majority. Secondary: multiple enchondromas or rarely osteochondromas.
37
Morphology: Grossly: Glistening mass in the medullary cavity. Histology: Chondrocytes with variable pleomorphism & binucleation. No osteoid. Prognosis: depends on grade; Most are low grade, & recur. 10% dedifferentiated & metastasize to lung … Other histologic variants present
38
Chondrosarcoma
39
Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma
40
Fibrous Lesions
41
Fibrous Dysplasia: Failure of normal bone elements to differentiate into mature bone. Monostotic (70%) & Polyostotic Localized intramedullary fibrous lesion with curved woven bone ’Chinese letters’ No osteoblast rimming GNAS-1 mutation McCune-Albright Syndrome – 3%
43
Fibrous Cortical Defect & Non- ossifying Fibroma Developmental. FCD < 0.5 cm, cortical NOF: Larger into medullary Cavity Risk of pathologic fracture
44
Miscellaneous Tumors
45
1- Giant cell Tumor (osteoclastoma) Bulky tumor at the end of long bones Age: Mostly 20-40 years, F>M Sites: Epiphysis of long bones; femur, tibia, radius, may extend into metaphysis or joint Majority are solitary. Histology: 2 population of cells: Multinucleated large osteoclasts and giant cells Mononuclear stromal cells are neoplastic
48
Giant cell Tumor, cont. Differential diagnosis: Similar picture may be seen in: Aneurysmal bone cyst. Brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism Osteosarcoma with giant cells. Many others! All contain GIANT CELLS! Clinical & Radiographic correlation: very Important!
49
Clinical behaviour: Unpredictable. Most tumors are benign. May be aggressive Recurrence may occur. May ‘metastasize’ to lung Sarcomatous transformation may occur Check for mitoses in the stromal spindle cells Treat by surgical curettage or resection
50
2- Ewing Sarcoma & PNET Primitive Neuro-Ectodermal Tumor (PNET): undifferentiated round cells arising within the marrow cavity: Small Blue Cell Tumor M>F, most in children & teenagers (5-20) Classic translocation t(11;22) involving EWS gene. X-ray: Lytic medullary lesion with concentric ‘onion skin’ layering of new periosteal bone.
51
Morphology: Gross: often affects the diaphyses of long bones, pelvis and tibia with necrosis & hemorrhage. Micro: sheets of undifferentiated small round blue cells, PAS positive material in cytoplasm consistent with glycogen Homer-Wright rosettes –neural diff. Tumoral cells destroy cortex and periosteum and invade surrounding tissues.
54
Clinical Features: Mass, pain with local inflammation Treatment : chemotherapy, surgery +/- irradiation Prognosis: 5 year survival rate of 75% for localized tumors.
