I. Cartilaginous Tumors
Osteochondroma Solitary Enchondroma Chondrosarcoma
8
Osteochondroma Osteocartilaginous exostosis
Most common benign tumors or tumorlike lesions of bone, In almost any bone preformed in cartilage, particularly long tubular bones, Presents as a solitary cartilage-capped bony outgrowth protruding from the bone surface near the metaphysis.
9
The most common location of an osteochondroma is in the region of the knee,
particularly the lower metaphysis of the femur or the upper metaphysis of the tibia. occasionally in a flat bone such as a rib, clavicle, ilium, or vertebra.
10
Pathology A sessile or stalked, cartilage-capped, bony protusion which extends from the metaphysial region Microscopically bony protusion a cap of mature cartilage
12
bony protusion a cap of mature cartilage
13
Solitary Enchondroma Central Chondroma
Composed of mature hyaline cartilage Develops in the medullary cavity of a single bone Third to sixth decades of life average age : between 30 and 40 years.
14
The most common location is in the bones of the hand:
About one-third of all cases occur in the phalanges. Sometimes: the bones of the foot long tubular bone (the humerus or femur) pelvic bones shoulder girdles.
15
Radiology: A central, or slightly eccentric, well-circumscribed or "bubbly" radiolucent lesion, finely or densely stippled with calcification.
17
Pathology: Microscopically, small neoplastic cartilage cells with single small nuclei May form lobules or facets May be partially calcified
18
- lobules or facets - partially calcified
19
Enchondromatosis (Ollier’s Disease)
20
Chondrosarcoma A malignant cartilaginous tumor
The third to sixth decades of life (average age of 45 years) Slightly more common in males than females
21
Chondrosarcoma may originate in the medullary cavity (central chondrosarcoma)
about 75% of cases or by malignant transformation of a preexisting enchondroma particularly in patients with enchondromatosis, May originate in a juxtacortical location (peripheral chondrosarcoma) by sarcomatous change in the cartilage cap of an osteochondroma.
22
Location: flat bones of the pelvis the large limb bones the ribs
femur 25% humerus the ribs
23
Radiology: Radiolucencies (irregular or circular or bubbly)
Calcification (granular or lobular radiopaque areas) Destruction of the inner cortex, Enlargement of bone contours, Focal periosteal reaction, Penetration of the cortex.

- Osteoid Osteoma II. Bone-Forming Tumors - Osteoblastoma
- Osteogenic Sarcoma
31
Osteoid Osteoma A distinctive, small (<2 cm), solitary, benign, tumorlike lesion of bone It is composed of osteoid tissue intermixed with woven bone and surrounded by reactive bony sclerosis. Osteoid osteoma most often occurs in children and young adults. A frequent presenting symptom of this condition is night pain, often relieved by aspirin, with localized tenderness in the painful area.
32
Osteoid osteoma is commonly located in a femur or tibia, Radiology:
A representative x-ray picture An osteoid osteoma shows a well circumscribed, small, round or oval, radioluscent or radiodense lesion (the nidus) May be located in or near the cortex and surrounded by densely sclerotic bone.
33
Osteoid Osteoma
34
Microscopy The nidus: surrounded by a sclerotic mature bone.
narrow trabeculae of osteoid or newly formed bone produced by osteoblasts + vascularized stroma surrounded by a sclerotic mature bone.

Osteoid Osteoma
36
Osteoblastoma Osteoblastomas are larger (> 2 cm) than osteoid osteomas Mainly osteolytic do not evoke reactive bone sclerosis Higher recurrence rate (~10%) Characterised by immature osteoid production Commonly in the cancellous bone of the spine (posterior elements) and skull
37
Osteogenic Sarcoma Osteosarcoma: a malignant tumor of bone
Most common primary bone tumor after myeloma
38
In young people under 20 years of age Male / Female : 2/1
Peak beyond 40 years of age: Secondary to preexisting disease Paget's disease (Paget's sarcoma) Previous radiation (irradiation sarcoma) Other conditions
39
Osteosarcoma may occur in any bone
The most frequent location is near the knee (~50-60% of cases) most commonly in the distal end of the femur the upper end of the tibia, upper end of the humerus, pelvis, upper end of the femur. Bone-forming cells produce alkaline phosphatase The serum alkaline phosphatase is markedly elevated in many patients with osteosarcoma.
40
Radiology of a long bone usually show a large, ill-defined tumor.
The bone-producing (osteoblastic) lesion is located in the medulla near the metaphysis Lifts up the periosteum (periostal reaction) often producing "Codman's triangle", an angle between the outer cortex and the elevated periosteum, Sun-rays pattern Less common : destructive (osteolytic) lesions with a "moth eaten" appearance of the cortex.

III. Tumors of Other or Unknown Histogenesis
Ewing’s sarcoma Giant Cell Tumor
50
Ewing's Sarcoma A malignant, small, round-cell tumor of bone
Composed of uniform, densely packed, tumor cells with round nuclei and indistinct cellular borders The histogenesis of Ewing's sarcoma remains controversial
51
The most common presenting symptom of Ewing's sarcoma is bone pain,
Mainly in children second decade of life average age of years Male/Female : 2/1 The most common presenting symptom of Ewing's sarcoma is bone pain, swelling, tenderness, and heat in the affected part, slight fever, and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which all together may mimic osteomyelitis.
52
Ewing's sarcoma may occur in any bone but most frequently involves long bones.
Femur (27%), pelvic bones (18%), tibia and fibula (17%), humerus (10%), scapula (6%). Radiology: A mottled "moth eaten" destructive lesion in the diaphysis periosteal reactive new bone sometimes formed in concentric layers and producing an "onion skin" appearance, and often accompanied by a soft-tissue mass.
53
Ewing's sarcoma
54
Microscopically, uniform, densely packed, tumor cells with a single, round or oval nucleus, indistinct cellular borders, and a size and appearance somewhat resembling lymphocytes (small round blue cells). The tumor cell cytoplasm characteristically contains PAS-positive glycogen granules. The tumor cells grow in sheets, sometimes with central necrosis, but without pattern, such as the rosettes typically formed by metastatic neuroblastoma.
56
Giant Cell Tumor An aggressive benign tumor Composed of :
well vascularized stroma plump, spindly, and oval tumor cells multinucleated tumor giant cells Over the age of 20: most commonly in the third decade of life slight female preponderance
57
The skeletal location:
50% of cases occur near the knee most commonly in the distal end of the femur or the upper end of the tibia. The x-ray picture : Large, eccentric, oval, Radioluscent destructive lesion centered in the epiphysis, Cortical erosion and thinning, Expanding the bone contours without a border.

IV. Miscellaneous Tumors and Tumor-like Lesions of Bone
Multiple Myeloma Chordoma Myositis Ossificans
64
Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma is a malignant tumor of plasma cells
Characterized by multiple lytic destructive lesions of bone, immunoglobulin abnormalities (monoclonal gammopathy), bone marrow failure, recurrent infections, hypercalcemia, amyloid deposits, renal insufficiency.
65
Over 40 years of age and with an average age of 60 years.
Multiple myeloma most often involves the vertebral column, ribs, and skull although virtually any, or all, bones can be affected. The most common symptom is bone pain, Other symptoms bone marrow failure (anemia, bleeding), recurrent infections, serum hyperviscosity, hypercalcemia, renal failure of multifactorial pathogenesis (myeloma nephropathy, associated amyloidosis, nephrocalcinosis).
66
Radiology: Skull, ribs, or other affected bones
Multiple lytic "punched out" lesions. Osteopenia/Osteoporosis
67
Multiple Myeloma
68
Microscopy: Bone marrow. Plasma cell tumor:
an eccentric, round, hyperchromatic nucleus sometimes with a "cartwheel" distribution of chromatin frequent double or triple nuclei, abundance of cytoplasm with a purple (basophilic) color and an occasional perinuclear "halo", distinct cell borders.
69
Multiple Myeloma
70
Chordoma A malignant tumor of the notochord
Arises towards either end of the vertebral column, most often in the sacrococcygeal region but also in the spheno-occipital region. Fifth to eighth decades of life, average age : 50 years slight female preponderance.
71
Clinical x-rays : Pathology large soft tissue mass
lytic destruction of the sacrococcygeal bone. Pathology Grossly, large, soft, lobulated, gelatinous tumor extends from the sacrum and expanding into the pelvic cavity. Microscopically, large and vacuolated, so-called physaliferous (bubbly/drop-like) cells.
72
Chordoma
73
Myositis Ossificans A nonneoplastic tumor-like lesion
Trauma to skeletal muscle hemorrhage distrophic calcification heterotropic ossification It must be distinguished from extraosseous osteogenic sarcoma. Clinical x-rays: peripherally calcifying (ossifying) lesion located in the soft tissues or next to bone.
74
Microscopically, newly formed bone
matures toward the periphery of the lesion, whereas the center or interior of the lesion is cellular and poorly differentiated. The presence of peripheral maturity and central immaturity of the lesion is called "zoning phenomenon" and is characteristic of myositis ossificans but lacking in osteogenic sarcoma.
