Classic ground glass appearance of the bone. It is barely visible within the bone, but an agressive periostitis is seen (arrow). Ask the patient or the clinician about this. Complete envelopment may occur. D'Oronzo S, Coleman R, Brown J, Silvestris F. Metastatic Bone Disease: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Options. giant cell tumor, metastasis, and myeloma; (3) sclerotic . Ali Mohammed Hammamy R, Farooqui K, Ghadban W. Sclerotic Bone Metastasis in Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma. However, these lesions are often underreported, mainly because the subject is not well known to general radiologists who struggle with the imaging approach and disease entities. For the unexpected bone lesions, the distinguishing anatomic features and a generalized imaging approach will be reviewed for four frequently encountered scenarios: chondroid lesions, sclerotic bone lesions, osteolytic lesions, and areas of focal marrow abnormality. mutation, and both sclerotic and lytic bone lesions together for the first time. Skeletal Radiol. 1988;17(2):101-5. A chondrosarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy. 5 Biopsy should be considered in atypical cases or in high-risk patients with primary malignancies associated with osteoblastic metastatic disease. There is reactive sclerosis with a nidus that is barely visible on the radiograph (blue arrow), but clearly visible on the CT (red arrows). Chordoma is usually seen in the spine and base of the skull. It could be blood or fluids released from fibrosis (scarred tissue) or necrosis (tissue death). Sclerosis is present from either tumor new bone formation or reactive sclerosis. Studies suggest that beyond joint wear and tear . Sclerotic bone lesions as a potential imaging biomarker for the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex Authors Susanne Brakemeier 1 , Lars Vogt 2 , Lisa C Adams 2 , Bianca Zukunft 3 , Gerd Diederichs 2 , Bernd Hamm 2 , Klemens Budde 3 , Kai-Uwe Eckardt 3 , Marcus R Makowski 2 4 Affiliations The location of a bone lesion within the skeleton can be a clue in the differential diagnosis. There are two tumor-like lesions which may mimic a malignancy and have to be included in the differential diagnosis. This is opposed to myositis ossificans which may present very close to the cortical bone, but maturation develops from the center to the periphery. The most common focal metastatic lesions originate from the breast (37%), lung (15%), kidney (6%), and thyroid (4%) 43. Tumor Pathology- Bone Lesion Bone Tumor Osteomyelitis When you identify a bone lesion, follow this basic checklist to help you accurately describe the lesion and narrow your differential diagnosis: Bone Tumors and Tumorlike Conditions: Analysis with Conventional Radiography Theodore T. Miller Radiology 2008 246:3, 662-674 The radiograph shows typical bone infarcts in diaphysis and metaphysis of femur and tibia.. On MR imaging bone infarcts are characterized by irregulair serpentiginous margins with low signal intensity on both T1 and T2 WI and with intermediate to high fat signal in the center part. Typically presents as a lytic lesion in a flat bone, vertebra or diaphysis of long bone. Many lesions can be located in both or move from the metaphysis to the diaphysis during growth. Park S, Lee I, Cho K et al. Therefore, MRI and bone scan were performed. In the article Bone Tumors - Differential diagnosis we discussed a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. If the disorder it is reacting to is rapidly progressive, there may only be time for retreat (defense). Multiple enchondromas are seen in Morbus Ollier. Should be included in the differential diagnosis of young patient with multiple lucent lesions (Langerhans cell histiocytosis). Detection of a solitary sclerotic bone lesion on CT or plain radiograph often creates a diagnostic dilemma. Society of Skeletal Radiology- White Paper. 12. CT of Sclerotic Bone Lesions: Imaging Features Differentiating Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis from Sporadic Lymphangioleiomymatosis1. 2. 2016;207(2):362-8. Plain radiograph and coronal T1-weighted contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed MR image of a mixed lytic and sclerotic lesion of the distal femoral diaphysis. Symptoms are usually absent, however, in adult patients with a chondroid lesion in a long bone, particularly of larger size, always consider low-grade chondrosarcoma. Edema often present in the surrounding bone marrow. The differential for multifocal lesions happens to be identical to that for focal lesions. Common: Metastases, multiple myeloma, multiple enchondromas. Notice that many benign osteolytic lesions that are frequently seen in younger age groups may heal and appear as sclerotic lesions in the middle aged group. The MR image shows that the lesion has lobulated contours and nodular enhancement. Growth of osteochondromas at adult ages, which is characterized by a thick cartilaginous cap (high SI on T2WI) should raise the suspicion of progression to a peripheral chondrosarcoma. Continue with the MR-images. In the subchondral bone, the number of TRAP-positive cells peaked on day 14. In some cases however the osteolytic nidus can be visible on the radiograph (figure). 5. <-Lucent Lesions of Bone | Periosteal Reaction->. Cancers (Basel). Radiological atlas of bone tumours of the Netherlands Committee on Bone Tumors Materials and Methods Most of the time, sclerotic lesions are benign. More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. Clin Orthop Relat Res. It classically presents with nocturnal pain in young patients, painful scoliosis, and marked relief from NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). A periosteal reaction with or without layering may be present. Typically a NOF presents as an eccentric well-defined lytic lesion, usually found as a coincidental finding. Despite their remarkable clinical success, the low degradation rate of these materials hampers a broader clinical use. Sclerotic or blastic bone metastases can arise from a number of different primary malignancies including prostate carcinoma (most common), breast carcinoma (may be mixed), transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), carcinoid, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., colon carcinoma, gastric carcinoma), DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. This is extremely common in Pagets disease but extremely uncommon with a blastic metastasis. Bone scintigraphy (99mTc MDP) is very sensitive for the detection of osteoblastic providing information on osteoblastic activity but suffers from specificity with a false-positivity rate ranging up to 40% 1. Sclerosis is usually the most prominent finding in subacute and chronic osteomyelitis. (2007) ISBN:0781765188. (2007) ISBN:0781765188. Skeletal Radiol. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Yap K, Knipe H, Niknejad M, et al. Biopsy revealed dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Cortical destruction (3) DD: old SBC. and PD-L1 PET/CT (PD-L1 positivity is defined as having at least one lesion with radiotracer uptake over the . Notice the numerous ill-defined osteoblastic metastases. 2021;216(4):1022-30. Differentiation of Predominantly Osteoblastic and Osteolytic Spine Metastases by Using Susceptibility-Weighted MRI. The radiological report should include a description of the following 2: location and size including the whole extent of disease load, pain attributable to the lesion (if known), Treatment of bone metastases, in general, is usually planned by a multidisciplinary team 10. Multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas are seen in Maffucci's syndrome. AJR 1995;164:573-580, Online teaching by the Musculoskeletal Radiology academic section of the University of Washington, by Theodore Miller March 2008 Radiology, 246, 662-674, by Laura M. Fayad, Satomi Kawamoto, Ihab R. Kamel, David A. Bluemke, John Eng, Frank J. Frassica and Elliot K. Fishman. Strahlenther Onkol. Occasionally slowly enlargement can be seen. Office Phone: (517) 205-6750. Click here for more examples of eosinophilic granuloma. Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. 2022;51(9):1743-64. Growth of osteochondroma in skeletally mature patient, Irregular or indistinct surface of lesions, focal lucent regions in interior of lesions, presence of soft tissue mass with scattered or irregular calcifications. some benign entities in this region may mimic malignancy if analyzed using classical bone-tumor criteria, and proper patient management requires being familiar with these presentations. Axial T1-weighted MR image shows homogeneous low signal intensity due to the compact bone apposition. Most commonly originate from prostate and breast cancer and less frequently from lung cancer, lymphoma or carcinoid. In fact, in areas where sickle cell disease is common, this may be the leading cause of diffuse sclerotic bones. Finally other clues need to be considered, such as a lesion's localization within the skeleton and within the bone, any periosteal reaction, cortical destruction, matrix calcifications, etc. A periosteal chondroma may have the same imaging characteristics, however, these are almost always much smaller. Bone reacts to its environment in two ways either by removing some of itself or by creating more of itself. The images show on the left a typical osteolytic NOF with a sharp sclerotic border. 8. 7, Behrang Amini, Susana Calle, Octavio Arevalo, Richard M. Westmark, and Kaye D.

W. B. Saunders company 1995, by Mark J. Kransdorf and Donald E. Sweet 5. Clinically relevant bone metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for prostate cancer patients. Notice the homogeneous thickening of the cortical bone. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Gaillard F, Knipe H, Weerakkody Y, et al. 7A, and 7B ). The differential diagnosis mostly depends on the age of the patient and the findings on the conventional radiographs. To determine if sclerotic bone lesions evident at body computed tomography (CT) are of value as a diagnostic criterion of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and in the differentiation of TSC with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) from sporadic LAM. Osteoid matrix Sometimes a more solid periosteal reaction is present combined with cortical thickening and broadening of the bone. (see diagnostic imaging pearls). Sclerotic osteoblastic metastases must be included in the differential diagnosis of any sclerotic bone lesion in a patient > 40 years. Another finding classic for Pagets disease is that it almost always starts at one end of a bone and then spreads toward the other end of the bone. Notice that in all three patients, the growth plates have not yet closed. A surface osteosarcoma could be considered in the differential diagnosis. Amsterdam: Elsevier; 1993. In aggressive periostitis the periosteum does not have time to consolidate. Mineralization in osteoid tumors can be described as a trabecular ossification pattern in benign bone-forming lesions and as a cloud-like or ill-defined amorphous pattern in osteosarcomas. A disadvantage of MRI is that the detection is poor in bones with a small marrow cavity such as the ribs and these bones are better investigated with CT 2,3. Age is the most important clinical clue in differentiating possible bone tumors.There are many ways of splitting age groups, as can be seen in the table, where the morphology of a bone lesion is combined with the age of the patient. A bone island larger than 1 cm is referred to as a giant bone island (12). 9. Rapid growth of the mineralized mass is not uncommon. Most commonly encountered bone tumor in the small bones of the hand and foot. This image is of a 20 year old patient with a sclerotic expansile lesion in the clavicle. Osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma are the most common types of bone cancer. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-8429. BallooningBallooning is a special type of cortical destruction.In ballooning the destruction of endosteal cortical bone and the addition of new bone on the outside occur at the same rate, resulting in expansion. The image shows a calcified lesion in the proximal tibia without suspicious features. Adam Greenspan, Gernot Jundt, Wolfgang Remagen. Semin. Check for errors and try again. Bone reacts to its environment in two ways either by removing some of itself or by creating more of itself. A T1w/T2-weighted (T2w) hypointense nonexpansile lesion is seen involving the sacrum (asterisk). Osteoma consists of densely compact bone. Bone metastases are the most common malignancy of bone of which sclerotic bone metastases are less common than lytic bone metastases. When considering hyperparathyroidism, look for evidence of subperiosteal bone resorption. 7. Surrounded by a prominent zone of reactive sclerosis due to a periosteal and endosteal reaction, which may obscure the central nidus.
