'''Chondro-osseous tumours''' occasionally cross the desk of the pathologist.  They are grouped together as [[bone]] may develop from [[cartilage]].  


==Normal==
Primary bone tumours are rare; the most common bone tumour is [[metastases]].<ref name=Ref_WMSP632>{{Ref WMSP|632}}</ref> 
*Normal bone has osteocytes.
**If the osteocytes are missing... the bone is dead.


*Osteoblasts - make bone.
Bone tumours occasionally are lumped with soft tissue tumours.  Soft tissue tumours are dealt with in the ''[[soft tissue lesions]]'' article.  An introduction to bone is found in the ''[[bone]]'' article. An introduction to cartilage is found in the ''[[cartilage]]'' article.
*Osteoclasts - destroy bone.


Memory device: 'b' before 'c'.
==General==
==Diagnosing bone tumours==
*Diagnosis of a primary bone tumour should not be made without radiologic & clinical information!
*Diagnosis should not be made without radiologic & clinical information.
*Metastasis:primary bone tumours = >20:1.<ref name=Ref_WMSP632>{{Ref WMSP|632}}</ref>


===Bone marrow===
===Common malignant===
*Fat content (%) ~= age (in years)<ref>IAV 26 Feb 09</ref>
*[[Osteosarcoma]].
**e.g. 60 year old will have 60% fatty replacement.
*[[Chondrosarcoma]].
*[[Ewing's sarcoma]].
*[[Multiple myeloma]].
*[[Metastases]].
**Most common tumours metastatic to bone (mnemonic: ''BLT with Ketchup & Pickles''):
***[[Breast]].
***[[Liver tumours|Liver]].
***[[Thyroid gland|Thyroid gland]].
***[[Kidney tumours|Kidney]].
***[[Prostate gland]].
 
Epidemiology:<ref name=Ref_TN2005_OR42>{{Ref TN2005 |OR42}}</ref>
*Osteosarcoma -> 2nd decade.
*Ewing's ->5-20 yrs.
*Chondrosarcoma -> from enchondroma or osteochrondroma -- patients over 40 yrs.
*[[Multiple myeloma]] -> most common primary bone tumour in adults.


*Should see three cell lines.
===Malignant bone tumours by age===
**The cell lines:<ref>[http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/199003-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/199003-overview]</ref>
Most common by age:<ref name=Ref_TN2005_OR42>{{Ref TN2005 |OR42}}</ref>
***Erythroid (red cells),  
*<1 year old - [[neuroblastoma]].
***Myeloid (white blood cells),  
*1-10 years old - [[Ewing sarcoma|Ewing's]] of tubular bones.
***Megakaryocytic (platelets).
*10-30 years old - osteosarcoma, Ewing's of flat bones.
*30-40 years old - [[reticulum cell sarcoma]], [[fibrosarcoma]], parosteal osteosarcoma, [[malignant giant cell tumour]], [[lymphoma]].
*>40 years old - mets, [[multiple myeloma]], [[chondrosarcoma]].


Note: Lymphocytes are considered separately and typically spared in bone marrow failure.<ref>[http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/199003-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/199003-overview]</ref>
===Benign aggressive bone tumours===
*[[Giant cell tumour of bone]].
*[[Osteoblastoma]].
**Thought to be related to [[osteoid osteoma]].
**If in long bones often diaphyseal.

===Chronic osteomyelitis===
How to remember the primary bone lesions:
*Plasma cells.
#''Ewing sarcoma'' is the only malignant primary bone tumour of the diaphysis.
**May be sterile, i.e. no organisms.
#''Giant cell tumour of bone'' is the only primary bone lesion of the epiphysis.
#The rest of the primary bone lesions are metaphyseal.
#*''Osteochondroma'' is bone first and cartilage second. It behaves like most primary bone lesions; it is usually metaphyseal.


==Bone tumours==
How to remember the primary cartilaginous lesions:
General:
#''Chondroblastoma'' is epiphyseal.  The chicken wire goes around the chicken coop.
*Metastasis:primary bone tumours = >20:1.<ref>WMSP P.632</ref>
#The others are diaphyseal.

===Definition===
*Tumour that makes osteoid.

===Histology===
==Brown tumour==
*Spindle cells with malignant features (e.g. nuclear membrane irregularies, marked nuclear
 
size differences, mitoses) surrounded by delicate strands of osteoid.
**Osteoid on H&E: pink, homogenous, "glassy".
**Tumours typically very cellular - when compared to normal bone.
*Large (multinucleated) osteoclast-like giant cells may be seen.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Papalas JA, Balmer NN, Wallace C, Sangueeza OP |title=Ossifying dermatofibroma with osteoclast-like giant cells: report of a case and literature review |journal=Am J Dermatopathol |volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=379-83 |year=2009 |month=June |pmid=19461244 |doi=10.1097/DAD.0b013e3181966747 |url=}}</ref>

*Tibia, fibula.
*Due to hyperparathyroidism - usually [[parathyroid adenoma]].
*Benign, may be locally aggressive.
