Chondro-osseous tumours

Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.
