==Chondrosarcoma==
==Chondrosarcoma==
===General===
{{Main|Chondrosarcoma}}
*Usually a good prognosis.
 
Clinical/epidemiologic features:<ref name=pmid17976362>{{cite journal |author=Skubitz KM, D'Adamo DR |title=Sarcoma |journal=Mayo Clin. Proc. |volume=82 |issue=11 |pages=1409–32 |year=2007 |month=November |pmid=17976362 |doi= |url=http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/content/82/11/1409.long}}</ref>
*Usually arise in a (benign) abnormality of cartilage (e.g. osteochondroma, enchondroma).
*May be associated with a syndrome:
**Olier disease (multiple enchondromatosis).
**Maffucci syndrome (multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas).
 
Notes:
*Review article (from oncology perspective): PMID 17545802.
 
====Subtypes====
Several subtypes exist:
*Chondrosarcoma not otherwise specified (NOS).
*Juxtacortical chondrosarcoma.
*Myxoid chondrosarcoma.
*Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.
*Clear cell chondrosarcoma.
*Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref>IAV. 26 February 2009.</ref><ref name=Ref_Klatt417>{{Ref Klatt|417}}</ref>
*"Abnormal cartilage":
**+/-Nuclear atypia - high grade lesions.
***High grade lesions:
****Nuclear clearing.
****Nucleoli.
****Hyperchromasia.
***Low/intermediate grade lesions:
****Bi-nucleation.
****Hypochromatic enlarged nuclei.
****Infiltration of lamellar bone ("invasion") - not common - '''diagnostic'''.
**Increased cellularity.
***More cellular than cartilage... but relatively paucicellular compared to other sarcomas.
**Irregular spacing of chondrocytes.
 
Notes:
*Low grade chondrosarcoma are not cytologically malignant; the diagnosis rests mostly on radiologic findings.
**The exception is ''infiltration of lamellar bone'' -- this is diagnostic of chondrosarcoma.<ref>Dickson, B. 28 April 2011.</ref>
 
DDx:
*[[Chordoma]].
*[[Enchondroma]].
*[[Synovial chondromatosis]].
*[[Osteosarcoma]] - esp. [[chondroblastic osteosarcoma]] - has osteoid, may be focal.

Notes:
*The ''t(11;22)(q24;q12)'' is seen in ~90% of EWS/PNET... but also in:
**[[Olfactory neuroblastoma]].
**Small cell osteogenic sarcoma (small cell variant of [[osteosarcoma]]).
**Polyphenotypic tumours.
**[[Rhabdomyosarcoma]].
**[[Neuroblastoma]] (possibly).

*Lack of molecular findings does ''not'' exclude Ewing sarcoma.

*Clear zone (glycogen lakes).


==Osteosarcoma==
==Osteosarcoma==
*[[AKA]] osteogenic sarcoma.
{{Main|Osteosarcoma}}
 
===General===
*Most common malignant bone tumour in children.
*May be seen in the context of [[Li-Fraumeni syndrome]].
 
Trivia:
*Terry Fox was afflicited by this tumour.
 
====Definition====
*Tumour that makes osteoid.
**Osteoid = (extracellular) organic component of bone, normally produced by osteoblasts (cells which make bone matrix).
 
===Gross===
Classic locations:<ref name=Ref_TN2007_OR43>{{Ref TN2007|OR43}}</ref>
*Distal femur ~ 45%.
*Proximal tibia ~ 20%.
*Proximal humerous ~ 15%.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Cells with malignant features (e.g. nuclear membrane irregularities, 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.

Latest revision as of 01:46, 20 June 2016

A chondro-osseous tumour (osteosarcoma). H&E stain.

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

Primary bone tumours are rare; the most common bone tumour is metastases.[1]

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.

General

  • Diagnosis of a primary bone tumour should not be made without radiologic & clinical information!
  • Metastasis:primary bone tumours = >20:1.[1]

Common malignant

Epidemiology:[2]

  • 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.

Malignant bone tumours by age

Most common by age:[2]

Benign aggressive bone tumours

How to remember the primary bone lesions:

  1. Ewing sarcoma is the only malignant primary bone tumour of the diaphysis.
  2. Giant cell tumour of bone is the only primary bone lesion of the epiphysis.
  3. 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.

How to remember the primary cartilaginous lesions:

  1. Chondroblastoma is epiphyseal. The chicken wire goes around the chicken coop.
  2. The others are diaphyseal.

This section collects stuff that doesn't neatly fit into the bone or cartilage category.

Notochordal tumors

Notochordal tumors arise from notochordal remnants and thus are seen in the clivus or sacrum.

Main article: Chordoma

Osteochondroma

Main article: Osteochondroma

Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour

  • AKA tenosynovial giant-cell tumour, diffuse type.
  • Previously known as pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS).[7]

Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath

  • Abbreviated GCT of tendon sheath.

Brown tumour

General

  • Not a true neoplasm.[8]
    • If tumour is understood as a synonym for neoplasm, the name is a misnomer.
    • May (clinically) mimic a true neoplasm.
  • Due to hyperparathyroidism - usually parathyroid adenoma.
    • Usually secondary to chronic renal failure.

Hypercalcemia DDx

Mnemonic GRIMED:[9]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Fibrosis.
  • +/-Giant cells with round to oval nuclei and nucleoli.[10]
  • Bone unaffected by tumour - increased numbers of the following:
    • Multinucleated cells (osteoclasts).
    • Mononuclear cells around the bony trabeculae (osteoblasts).
