1. Tumors of bone

2. - Cause usually unknown (Primary, idiopathic) - Genetic factors may play a role (p53 and RB mutations) - Bone infarcts, trauma, osteomyelitis, Pagets disease, radiation and metal prosthesis predispose to tumors

3. Tumors of bone - Clinical presentation - Incidentally detected - Swelling and pain - Pathological fracture

4. Interpret bone tumors with full knowledge of - Clinical picture - Radiology and imaging - Pathological findings

5. Tumors of bone - Diverse in their gross and morphologic features, and clinical behavior. - Benign tumors outnumber malignancies and are commoner in young - Classification is done on the basis of tissue of origin

11. Bone tumors All bone tumors should be studied along with x rays - Osteochondroma is the commonest benign tumor - Osteosarcoma is the commonest non-hematopoietic malignancy - Specific tumors target specific bones and sites and age groups - Osteosarcomas are more common in adolescence and arise from metaphysis around the knee. - Chondrosarcomas and giant cell tumors arise in epiphysis - Ewings sarcoma arises in diaphysis Histologic grade is the most important prognostic factor of a bone sarcoma

13. Osteoid osteoma - Benign bone tumor seen often in teens and young adults - < 2 cm diameter and have predilection for cortex of long bones - Painful lesions and can mimic osteomyelitis (PGE2) - Well circumscribed mass of woven bone rimmed by osteoblasts - This is called the nidus and is surrounded by reactive bone

14. Osteosarcoma - Malignant mesenchymal tumor in which cancerous cells produce bone matrix - Most common non-hematopoietic bone tumor - 75% occur before the age of 20 years. Second peak in elderly - Commoner in males (1.6:1) - Arises from metaphysis of long bones. 60% arise around the knee - Patients with hereditary retinoblastomas have a 1000 fold risk - Metastasizes through hematogenous route (90% to lungs) - Advances in treatment (chemotherapy and limb salvage therapy) has improved long term survival to 60-70%

16. Osteosarcoma - subcategorization Based onSubtypes LocationIntramedullary / intracortical / periosteal etc DifferentiationWell / poorly Histology Osteoblastic / chondroblastic / fibroblastic, telangiectatic / giant cell / small cell Others Solitary / multicentric Primary / secondary

17. Osteosarcoma Gross: Bulky, gritty, hemorrhage and necrosis,bone destructive and spreading in different directions Microscopy: - Bizarre tumors cells with pleomorphic nuclei - Multinucleated giant cells - Formation of “lacy osteoid” - Formation of other types of matrix - Conspicuous vascular invasion - metastasize to lungs, brain X-ray: - Large destructive lytic and osteoblastic mass with infiltrating margins - Lifts periosteum (Codman triangle) and produces reactive periosteal bone formation

21. Tumor grading - Low grade - High grade - Cell pleomorphism - Tumor differentiation - Necrosis - Mitotic activity

22. Hematogenous spread is very common and 10-20% have pulmonary metastases at the time of diagnosis

24. Benign cartilage tumors: Osteochondroma: Bony spur / exostosis. Mushroom shaped bone projection covered by cartilage cap Chondroma: - Enchondroma ( intramedullary) or juxtacortical - Usually solitary and metaphyseal in short tubular bones and < 3 cms dia - Multiple tumors form part of Olliers disease (enchondromatosis) - Develop from rests of growth plate cartilage - Contain well circumscribed nodules of cartilage and cytologically benign chondrocytes - Endochondral ossification is seen at periphery - X-ray shows typical “O ring” sign - Malignant transformation more common in Ollier disease

26. Chondrosarcoma - Malignant tumors that form neoplastic cartilage - Subtypes: a) Intramedullary and juxtacortical b) Conventional (hyaline / myxoid), clear cell, dedifferentiated, mesenchymal c) Low grade to high grade - Usually seen in patients above 40, more in men (2:1) - More often in central parts of skeleton - Large bulky tumors with glistening cut surface with central necrosis - Tumor spreads by pushing margins - Low grade tumors almost similar to enchondromas - High grade show marked pleomorphism and bizarre morphology - Spread preferentially to lungs and skeleton
