Introduction
Bone tumors are classified into : 1.
Osteoblastic lesion
Multiple osteoblastic metastases to the pelvis and lumbar vertebral bodies from carcinoma of the prostate Note discrete rounded sclerotic lesions in right ilium and "ivory vertebra" involving L4 and S1.
Osteolytic lesions
Osteolytic metastasis from carcinoma of the broncus . Note the progression spread of osteolytic lesion in the lower end of the radious the interval between these examinations was only 6 months
Presumed to arise from Benign skeletal connective t. Tumors forming bone Osteoma : exostosis Osteoid osteoma Benign osteoblastoma Enchondroma Benign chondroblastoma Chondromyxoid fibroma Cartilage-capped exostosis: osteochondroma solitory or muliple Non-ossifying fibroma : fibrous cortical defect metaphyseal fibrous defect Desmoplastic fibroma Fibrous dysplasia : probably not neoplastic discribed with conginital dysplasias -----------------------
Chondrosarcoma
Fibrosarcoma
Osteoid osteoma
arising in the cortex of the radius with extensive reactive bone formation . The oval area of translucency containing the dense central nidus is visible only in the antro-posterior view
Osteo sarcoma
Tibial osteosarcoma
showing many of the features of the disease . The proximal area of the lesion is densely sclerosed but not expanded . Destructive change is visible in the more distal part of the medulla with overlying sunray spiculation
Radiograph of the femur in a patient with osteosarcoma shows a typical Codman triangle (arrow) and more diffuse, mineralized osteoid within the soft tissues adjacent to the bone.
Enchondroma
Enchondroma of phalanx . Female aged 10 y . The lesion has expanded to the cortex and is well demarcated . The pathological fracture led to its discovery .
Enchodroma
Enchondroma of fibula . The diffuse area of rarefaction in the head of this fibula has thinned and expanded the cortex and showes the typical punctate calcification of a chondroma . Radiologically this lesion appears benign
Periosteal fibrosarcoma
Female aged 32. in the upper end of the thigh showing whorls and plaques of calcification..
Tumors of
