===Radiology===
How to remember the primary bone lesions:
Features:<ref name=emed_enchondroma>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/389224-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/389224-overview]. Accessed on: 25 December 2010.</ref>
#''Ewing sarcoma'' is the only malignant primary bone tumour of the diaphysis.
*Lytic lesion.
#''Giant cell tumour of bone'' is the only primary bone lesion of the epiphysis.
*Usual close to a growth plate.
#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.


===Microscopic===
How to remember the primary cartilaginous lesions:
Features:
#''Chondroblastoma'' is epiphyseal.  The chicken wire goes around the chicken coop.
*Ctyologically benign cells is spaced nests.
#The others are diaphyseal.

Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP_642>{{Ref WMSP|642}}</ref>
*Abundant extracellular material - pink on [[H&E stain]] - looks vaguely like cartilage.
*Chondroblasts:
**Nuclear morphology variable: ovoid, folded or grooved.
**Moderate-abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm.
*+/-Calcifications surround cells nests ("chickenwire" appearance) - '''classic feature'''.
*+/-Giant cells.
**May lead to confusion with ''giant cell tumour''.

==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>BD. 28 April 2011.</ref>

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).

*Clear zone (glycogen lakes).


==Osteosarcoma==
==Osteosarcoma==
*[[AKA]] osteogenic sarcoma.
{{Main|Osteosarcoma}}

====Definition====
*Tumour that makes osteoid.
**Osteoid = (extracellular) organic component of bone, normally produced by osteoblasts (cells which make bone matrix).
 
===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 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>
