Bone forming Osteoma Osteosarcoma:
Osteoid osteoma • Central
Osteoblastoma • Peripheral
• Parosteal
Cartilage forming Enchondroma Chondrosarcoma:
Osteochondroma • Central • Juxtacortical
• Peripheral • Clear-cell
• Mesenchymal
Fibrous tissue Fibroma Fibrosarcoma

Hemangioendothelioma
B. BENIGN VS MALIGNANT
BENIGN MALIGNANT
• Well circumscribed • Gross periosteal reaction
• No periosteal reaction • Large, permeative, moth eaten
• Sclerotic border • Metastasis
• Small zone of transition : sharp, ill • Wide zone of transition : ill-defined
defined border, sign of slow growth border, sign of aggressive growth
C. AGE OF PATIENT
• ABC : Aneurysmal bone cyst
• CMF : Chondromyxoid
fibroma

INVESTIGATION IN GENERAL
General Investigations
• Imaging
Plain X-ray, CT scan, MRI, Radionuclide
scanning
• Blood tests
• Biopsy
Plain X-rays
Site of lesion:

malignant
than
secondary
Features
i. Pain (first symptom)
constant, worse at night and gradually increases in severity.
On examination:
iv. Tenderness
v. Palpable mass (later case)
vi. Overlying tissues may appear swollen and inflamed.
vii. prominent veins.
viii.Movements at the joint may be affected
“Sunray appearance”: Tumour grows into soft tissues. New bone is laid
along the blood vessels in the tumour, giving a sun ray appearance
The dominant features in the histological The same tumour showed areas of

showing osteoid formation (pink
masses).
Treatment
Amputation with wide margin
On examination:
• Palpable mass
• Warmth of the overlying tissues
Imaging
X-ray
Radiolucent area situated eccentrically at the end of a long bone and bounded by the
subchondral bone plate.
The endosteal margin may be quite obvious, but in aggressive lesions it is ill-defined.
The cortex is thin and sometimes ballooned; aggressive lesions extend into the soft
tissue.
Biopsy:
Spindle cells with multinucleated giant cells. (These
giant cells used to be mistaken for osteoclasts)
• MRI
– necessary to identify soft-tissue extension and marrow involvement
– often shows a large extraosseous component
• CT chest
– is required for appropriate staging to look for pulmonary metastasis
• CLINICAL PRESENTATION:
Persistence pain
can be localized or refer over wide area
dull, aching pain that is moderate in intensity but can worsen and become severe—
especially at nigh
not usually activity-related
Pain relieve by salicylates
Late presentation
Limping
Muscle wasting and weakness
In spinal lesion, can cause intense pain, muscle spasm and scoliosis
OSTEOID OSTEOMA
• XRAY:
Small radiolucent area- nidus
Lesion is in diaphysis are surrounded by dense sclerosis and
cortical thickening
Can see the nidus clearly in CT scan
Lesion in metaphysis show less cortical thickening
Further away, the bone may be osteoporotic
OSTEOID OSTEOMA
• PATHOLOGY:
Excised lesion appears as a dark-brown or reddish ‘nucleus’
surrounded by dense bone
Central area consists of unorganized sheets of osteoid and bone
cells
No risk of malignant transformation
• TREATMENT:
oMost will disappear on their own over several years. Over-the-
counter NSAIDs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen will provide
pain relief
oComplete removal or destruction of the nidus
oThe lesion is carefully localized by Xray and/or CT scan and then
excised in a small block of bone
oCan also be destroyed by CT scan localized radio-ablation
oIf the excision can weaken the host bone, prophylactic internal
fixation may be needed
ENCHONDROMA/
CHONDROMA
ENCHONDROMA
• PATHOLOGY:
Lesion consist of pearly-white cartilaginous tissue
Often with central area of degeneration and calcification
Histology finding:
Simple hyaline cartilage
• COMPLICATION:
