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

  • Bone. (WC)

Bone histology

Two types (based on arrangement of collagen):

  1. Woven bone.
  2. Lamellar bone.

Woven bone

  • Always abnormal in adults.
  • Collagen arranged haphazardly - mechanically weak.

Images:

Lamellar bone

Animated GIF showing a photomicrograph of lamellar bone. The layers are accentuated under polarised light.
  • Collagen organized in layers (lamellae).

Woven versus lamellar

  • Easiest way to differentiate: polarize; lamellar bone has well-defined layers.

Bone cells

  • Osteocytes.
    • Sit in lacunae.
      • Empty lacunae = necrotic bone.
  • Osteoblasts.
    • Make bone.
  • Osteoclasts.
    • Destroy bone.
    • Multinucleated.

Memory device: 'b' before 'c'.

Bone marrow

Main article: Haematopoiesis

General

Bone marrow biopsy adequacy:[3]

  • 10 intertrabecular spaces or 10 mm.

Microscopic

One should see three cell lines:[4]

  1. Erythroid (red cells).
  2. Myeloid (white blood cells).
  3. Megakaryocytic (platelets).

Adipose tissue:

  • Fat content (%) ~= age in years.[5]
    • e.g. 60 year old will have 60% fatty replacement.

Identifying the cell lines:[6]

  1. Megakaryocytes:
    • Big cells ~ 3x the size of a RBC.
  2. Normoblasts (RBC precursors):
    • Hyperchromatic, i.e. blue, nucleus.
  3. Myeloid line:
    • Granules.
    • Reniform nucleus, i.e. kidney bean shaped nucleus.

Note:

  • Lymphocytes are considered separately and typically spared in bone marrow failure.[7]

Organization

  • Mature hematopoeitic cells at the centre (distant from bone).
  • Immature hematopoeitic cells adjacent to the bone.

Note:

Images

  • Myeloid line. (WC)

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.[12]

Sequestrum

Main article: Osteoarthritis

This keeps orthopaedic surgeons busy.
