Osteosarcoma, also known as osteogenic sarcoma, is a malignant bone tumour. It is grouped with the chondro-osseous tumours.

General

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:[1]

  • 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.
  • +/-Large (multinucleated) osteoclast-like giant cells.[2]

How to remember:

  • Convention FOC = fibroblastic, osteogenic, chondroblastic.
  • Low-grade central.
  • High-grade surface.
  • Parosteal.
  • Periosteal.
  • Small cell.
  • Secondary.
  • Telangiectatic.

Chondroblastic osteosarcoma

  • Chondroid matrix present - may be prominent; osteoid may be a minor component.
  • May be confused with chondrosarcoma.

Fibroblastic osteosarcoma

Images:

Low-grade central osteosarcoma

  • Well-formed bone.
  • Usu. minimal nuclear atypia.

DDx:

Telangiectatic osteosarcoma

  • Rare.[7]
  • Extremely vascular.
  • Prognosis similar to other types of osteosarcoma.[8]

Important radiologic DDx:

Parosteal osteosarcoma

  • Arise from surface of bone.[9]
  • Low grade.[10]
  • Well-formed bone.

DDx:

Periosteal osteosarcoma

  • Intermediate grade.[10]

Small cell osteosarcoma

Secondary osteosarcoma
