Bone is a scaffold it bears weight and occasionally gets infected.
Tumours often spread to bone and occasionally arise in bone. Bone tumours are dealt with in the bone tumours article.
Normal bone
Bone
Anatomy
- Epiphysis = rounded end of the bone.
- Metaphysis = between epiphysis and diaphysis; contains epiphyseal plate - site of growth in childhood.
- Diaphysis = shaft, mid-portion, contains bone marrow.
Image:
Matrix
Two types (based on arrangement of collagen):
- Woven.
- Always abnormal in adults.
- Collagen arranged haphazardly - mechanically weak.
- Lamellar.
- Collagen organized in layers (lamellae).
Woven vs. lamellar:
- Easiest way to differentiate: polarize; lamellar bone has well-defined layers.
Images:
Cells
- Osteocytes.
- Sit in lacunae.
- Empty lacunae = necrotic bone.
- Sit in lacunae.
- Osteoblasts.
- Make bone.
- Osteoclasts.
- Destroy bone.
- Multinucleated.
Memory device: 'b' before 'c'.
Bone marrow
Main article: Haematopoiesis
- One of two primary lymphoid organs - the other one is the thymus.[2]
- Fat content (%) ~= age in years.[3]
- e.g. 60 year old will have 60% fatty replacement.
- One should see three cell lines:[4]
- Erythroid (red cells).
- Myeloid (white blood cells).
- Megakaryocytic (platelets).
Note: Lymphocytes are considered separately and typically spared in bone marrow failure.[5]
Identifying the lines:[6]
- Megakaryocytes:
- Big cells ~ 3x the size of a RBC.
- Normoblasts (RBC precursors):
- Hyperchromatic, i.e. blue, nucleus.
- Myeloid line:
- Granules.
- Reniform nucleus, i.e. kidney bean shaped nucleus.
Images:
Organization
- Mature hematopoeitic cells at the centre (distant from bone).
- Immature hematopoeitic cells adjacent to the bone.
Note:
- Immediately adjacent to the bone (paratrabecular)... is where follicular lymphoma is classically found.[7]
Benign variants
Hyperostosis frontalis interna
- Extra-thick frontal bone.[8]
- No clinical significance -- just has to be recognized as a "nothing".
Infections
Osteomyelitis
General
Pathophysiology/entry:
- Hematogenous - often in children.
- Direct entry (skin defect) - adults with diabetes.
Most common organism:
- Staphylococcus aureus.[9]
Risk factors:[9]
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Peripheral vascular disease.
Microscopic
- PMNs.
Chronic osteomyelitis
Microscopic
Features:
Bone tumours
Main article: Bone tumours
This is a big topic. It is dealt with in a separate article.
The bone tumour article covers tumour mimics, e.g. brown cell tumour.
Fractures
Main article: Bone fractures
This is dealt with in the forensic pathology article.
Others
The following is a collection of stuff that doesn't really fit in another category or is just weird.
A general DDx for cystic bone lesions is found on radipedia.com.[11]
Osteoarthritis
Main article: Osteoarthritis
This keeps orthopaedic surgeons busy.
Aneurysmal bone cyst
- Abbreviated ABC.
- Also see giant cell reparative granuloma (AKA solid aneurysmal bone cyst).
General
Features:[12]
- Benign.
- May grow rapidly.
- Osteolysis -> cystic space -> filled with blood.
- Relatively common; in children second only to osteosarcoma.[13]
Microscopic
Features:[12]
- Bony trabeculae or osteoid tissue.
- Osteoclast giant cells.
- Multi-nucleated giant-cells with round randomly arranged nuclei.
- Benign spindle cells (fibroblasts) - surround bone/adjacent to the giant cells - important.
- Blood +/- surrounded by giant cells.
DDx:
- Giant cell tumour of bone - the nuclei of the cells surrounding the giant cells are similar to those in the giant cells (round nuclei).
- Telangiectatic osteosarcoma.
- Other giant cell lesions.
Images:
- ABC - low mag. (webpathology.com).
- ABC - intermed. mag. (webpathology.com).
- ABC - high mag. (webpathology.com).
Myositis ossificans
General
Epidemiology:
- Young people.
- History of trauma - typically.
- Extremities - digits (fingers, toes).
Notes:
- Histologically "worrisome" (for malignancy) - due to high cellularity.[14]
Microscopic
Features:[14]
- High cellularity.
- Low mitotic activity.
- No atypical mitoses.
- No hyperchromasia.
Other features:[15]
- Low power diagnosis:
- Lesion is well-circumscribed.
- Normal muscle is adjacent to the lesion - key feature.
Images:
Paget disease of the bone
General
- Benign - unlike Paget disease of the breast.
- Afflicts ~ 3% of population > 55 years old.[16]
- Leading cause of secondary osteosarcoma.
- Uncommonly associated with giant cell tumour of bone.[17][18]
- Diagnosis based on radiology.[16]

Stage
Classically divided into three phases:[22][23]
- Lytic (predominantly osteoclasts).
- Mixed lytic (osteoclastic) and blastic (osteoblastic).
- Sclerotic (burned-out).
Microscopic
Features:[22]
- Bone matrix has jigsaw-puzzle like pattern.
