. Focal sclerotic bony lesions (mnemonic). Infections and eosinophilic granulomaInfections and eosinophilic granuloma are exceptional because they are benign lesions which can mimick a malignant bone tumor due to their aggressive biologic behavior. Consider progression of osteohondroma to chondrosarcoma when cartilage cap measures > 10 mm. 2018;10(6):156. 1991;167(9):549-52. 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. A benign type of periosteal reaction is a thick, wavy and uniform callus formation resulting from chronic irritation. This is an example of progression of an osteochondroma to a peripheral chondrosarcoma. Imaging is often helpful in determining a diagnosis, and it can sometimes make a particular diagnosis nearly certain. Osteosarcoma (2) 33.1d). It grows primarily into the surrounding soft tissues, but may also infiltrate into the bone marrow. Mass displaces and involves both the right 10 th intercostal artery, as well as more superior right 9 th intercostal artery. Office Phone: (517) 205-6750. At the 1-year follow-up, the lesion was completely stable and no additional follow-up was recommended in the absence of symptoms. In Section 2, we give the general technical route for classification, detection and segmentation of multiple-lesion.After that, in Section 3, the paper will review the recognition of multiple-lesion in six organ and tissue areas, including brain, eye, skin, breast, lung, and abdomen. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-21100, Mnemonic for focal sclerotic lesions (mnemonic). Recommendation: No specific imaging recommendation. Cartilaginous tumors in particular chondrosarcoma may show endosteal scalloping, while a bone infarct does not. There were other features that favored the diagnosis of a low-grade chondrosarcoma like a positive bone scan and endosteal scalloping of the cortical bone on an MRI (not shown). CT can detect osteoblastic metastases with a higher sensitivity than plain radiographs and shines in the assessment of bones which are characterized by a small bone marrow cavity and a high amount of cortical bone such as the ribs 2,3. Notice the lytic peripheral part with subtle calcifications. Uncommonly it can be difficult to differentiate a stress fracture from a pathologic fracture, that occurs at the site of a bone tumor. 10. Osteoblastic metastases have a lower fracture risk than lytic or mixed bone metastases 11-13. post-treatment appearance of any lytic bone metastasis. The bone marrow compartment is not involved which is important for the surgical strategy. Bone islands demonstrate uniformly low 2019;290(1):146-54. 2019;15:100205. MRI shows large tumor within the bone and permeative growth through the Haversian channels accompanied by a large soft tissue mass, which is barely visible on the X-ray. 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. CT scan is usually very helpful in detecting the nidus and differentiating osteoid osteoma from other sclerotic lesions like osteoblastoma, osteomyelitis, arthritis, stress fracture and enostosis. The image shows a calcified lesion in the proximal tibia without suspicious features. Ewing sarcoma with lamellated and focally interrupted periosteal reaction. 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. DD: old SBC. 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 Typical presentation: central lesion in metaphysis or diaphysis with a well defined serpentiginous border. Osteopetrosis and pyknodysostosis are likewise hard to mistake for other entities since the bones are denser than in any other disorder, and the long bones tend to have very tiny medullary canals. There is a metastasis, which presents as a subtle sclerotic lesion in the humerus metaphysis. Therefore, knowing the homogeneously sclerotic bone lesions can be useful, such as enostosis (bone island) (), osteoma (), and callus or bone graft.The plain radiography and CT images of enostosis consist of a circular or oblong area of dense bone with an irregular and speculated margin, which have been . Bone scintigraphy can be either negative or show limited uptake. Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology. Osteochondroma is a bony protrusion covered by a cartilaginous cap. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-8429. Ask the patient or the clinician about this. 5. A periosteal reaction with or without layering may be present. by Mulder JD et al Fibro-osseous lesion like fibrous dysplasia. Most of the time, sclerotic lesions are benign. Radiologe. <-Lucent Lesions of Bone | Periosteal Reaction->. In the epiphysis we use the term avascular necrosis and not bone infarction. Clinically relevant bone metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for prostate cancer patients. Disappearane of calcifications in a pre-existing enchondroma should raise the suspicion of malignant transformation. Sclerotic bone metastases typically present as radiodense bone lesions that are round/nodular with relatively well-defined margins 3 . If the process is slower growing, then the bone may have time to mount an offense and try to form a sclerotic area around the offender. Unable to process the form. Polyostotic lesions For those that are possibly cancerous, a biopsy is conducted to identify it. The MR image shows that the lesion has lobulated contours and nodular enhancement. Because of the large dimensions with soft tissue extension on plain radiograph and axial T2-weighted MR image, a high grade chondrosarcoma was suspected. Click here for more examples of enchondromas. Frequently encountered as a coincidental finding and can be found in any bone. Benign periosteal reaction Fibrous dysplasia, enchondromas, EG, Mets and myeloma, Hyperparathyroidism, Infection. In 8 of the 24 patients, 17 of 52 new sclerotic lesions (33%) had showed positive uptake on previous bone scans. If the lesion grows more rapidly still, there may not be time for the bone to retreat in an orderly manner, and the margin may become ill-defined. There are two kinds of mineralization: Chondroid matrix Notice that there are small areas of ill-defined osteolysis. 6. Hallmark of osteosarcoma is the production of bony matrix, which is reflected by the sclerosis seen on the radiograph. 2 ed. Common: Metastases, multiple myeloma, multiple enchondromas. Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. This feature differentiates it from a juxtacortical tumor. Detection of a solitary sclerotic bone lesion on CT or plain radiograph often creates a diagnostic dilemma. The lesson here is that when we are dealing with a very common disorder, even its less common presentations will be seen commonly. Focal sclerotic bony lesions (mnemonic) Last revised by Daniel J Bell on 18 Feb 2019 Edit article Citation, DOI & article data A popular mnemonic to help remember causes of focal sclerotic bony lesions is: HOME LIFE Mnemonic H: healed non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) O: osteoma M: metastasis E: Ewing sarcoma L: lymphoma I: infection or infarct Subchondral bone attrition is the flattening or depression of the bone surface that forms part of a joint. Infections, a common tumor mimicker, are seen in any age group. Sclerotic bone lesions caused by non-infectious and non-neoplastic diseases: a review of the imaging and clinicopathologic findings Sclerotic bone lesions caused by non-infectious and non-neoplastic diseases: a review of the imaging and clinicopathologic findings Authors Osteoid matrix More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. These lesions are not osteochondromas, but consist of reactive cartilage metaplasia. Most bone tumors are solitary lesions. Diagnostic brain imaging tests can assess bone fractures, structural problems, blood vessel abnormalities, and changes in brain metabolism. Sclerotic jaw lesions are not rare and are frequently encountered on radiographs and computed tomography (CT). Sclerotic or osteoblastic bone metastases are distant tumor deposits of a primary tumor within bone characterized by new bone deposition or new bone formation. Subungual exostoses are bony projections which arise from the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx, most commonly of the hallux. Plain radiograph in another patient shows irreglar mineralized lesion with elevation of the periosteum and cortical involvement. Edema often present in the surrounding bone marrow. Accordingly, growth of osteochondromas is allowed until a patient reaches adulthood and the physeal plates are closed. The cortical bone and bone marrow compartment are not involved. Usually new bone is added to one side of the cortex only. Hyperdense oval-shaped lesions with spiculated or paintbrush margins, without distortion of the adjacent bony trabeculae. They usually affect posterior vertebral elements and their number and size increase with age. Solitary sclerotic bone lesion.

Diffuse bony sclerosis (mnemonic) Last revised by Joshua Yap on 28 Jun 2022 Edit article Citation, DOI & article data A mnemonic for remembering the causes of diffuse bony sclerosis is: 3 M's PROOF Mnemonic 3 M's PROOF M: malignancy metastases ( osteoblastic metastases) lymphoma leukemia M: myelofibrosis M: mastocytosis S: sickle cell disease (2007) ISBN: 9780781779302 -. In breast cancer, metastases may present as lytic lesions that may become sclerotic expressing a favourable response to chemotherapy. BackgroundCongenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare disease. A T1w/T2-weighted (T2w) hypointense nonexpansile lesion is seen involving the sacrum (asterisk). In the cases in which the solitary sclerotic lesion has increased, uptake on bone scan, follow-up CT, or plain film imaging is recommended at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals. Radiographic or CT features that suggest malignancy: Use MRI with water-sensitive sequence (T2 FS) to determine cartilage cap thickness. Rib lesions detected on bone scintigraphy often require further characterization with radiography or CT to improve specificity (Figs. Another approach to the differential diagnosis of sclerotic bone lesions is to use the mnemonic I VINDICATE, which means 'I clear myself from accusation'. We provide care in several areas of orthopedics, such as: hand and wrist care, foot and ankle care, and joint replacement. One can then apply various features of the lesions to this differential, and exclude some things, elevate some things, and downgrade others in the differential. In some locations, such as in the humerus or around the knee, almost all bone tumors may be found. Sclerosis is usually the most prominent finding in subacute and chronic osteomyelitis. Patients with sclerotic lesions due to metastasis often have a history of prior malignant disease. On CT sclerotic bone metastases typically present as hyperdense lesions, but display a lower density than bone islands 5. Degenerative subchondral cyst: epiphyseal, Chondroid matrix in cartilaginous tumors like enchondromas and chondrosarcomsa. 1. This represents a thick cartilage cap. Differential Diagnosis in Orthopaedic Oncology. Here two other lesions in different patients that proved to be chondrosarcoma. Here images of an osteosarcoma in the right femur. Localisation: femur, tibia, hands and feet, spine (arch). In this chapter, we will discuss key imaging features that strongly indicate the lesion is benign and those that warn further evaluation is warranted. Enchondroma is a fairly common benign cartilaginaous lesion which may present as an entirely lytic lesion without any calcification, as a dense calcified lesion or as a mixed leson with osteolysis and calcifications. These lesions were possibly misinterpreted as new when applying WHO criteria. Hall F & Gore S. Osteosclerotic Myeloma Variants. Radiographs are specific but suffer from low sensitivity 1. ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. Cortical destruction (3) Click here for more detailed information about NOF. Osteoid matrix in osseus tumors like osteoid osteomas and osteosarcomas. Skeletal Radiol. Both imaging modalities achieved only a moderate correlation with DEXA. Well, generally, it means that it is due to a fairly slow-growing process. It is most commonly located in the outer table of the neurocranium or in a paranasal sinus. D'Oronzo S, Coleman R, Brown J, Silvestris F. Metastatic Bone Disease: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Options. The differential diagnosis for bone tumors is dependent on the age of the patient, with a very different set of differentials for the pediatric patient. T2-weighted MR image reveals a lobulated mass with high signal intensity. -. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Gaillard F, Knipe H, Weerakkody Y, et al. Signed by [redacted] on 1/17/2020 11:42 AM Narrative A 30-year-old woman underwent a CT of the pelvis for endometriosis and an incidental lesion was found in the sacrum. The diagnosis was fibrous dysplasia. The location of a bone lesion within the skeleton can be a clue in the differential diagnosis. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 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. . What does it mean that a lesion is sclerotic? Incidentally discovered, benign lesions also called enostoses, which are islands of cortical bone located in the cancellous bone. Distinguishing Untreated Osteoblastic Metastases From Enostoses Using CT Attenuation Measurements. Moreover, questions such as the . Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association of joint form and lesions on imaging for axSpA patients and controls. Should be included in the differential diagnosis of young patient with multiple lucent lesions (Langerhans cell histiocytosis). Here a lesion in the epiphysis, which was the result of post-traumatic osteonecrosis. ( A1,A2) Transversal CT of the skull of a TSC patient and . Even though plain X-ray and CT would typically be used to follow a suspected bone island, MRI was chosen as the follow-up modality because the sacrum is an area not well seen on plain films due to overlying bowel gas and concern regarding radiation dose from multiple CT scans to the pelvis of a 30-year-old woman. 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), AJR 2005; 185:915-924. A mean CT attenuation threshold of 885 HU and a maximum attenuation threshold of 1060 HU has been found supportive in the differentiation of untreated osteoblastic and bone island in one study 7, but the exclusive use of attenuation values for the assessment of sclerotic bone lesions has been discouraged 8. Ossifications or calcifications can be present in variable amounts. Here images of a patient with breast cancer. This is a routine medical imaging report. Sclerotic osteoblastic metastases must be included in the differential diagnosis of any sclerotic bone lesion in a patient > 40 years. Fibrous dysplasia can be monostotic or polyostotic. Radiology. Matching the degradation rate of the materials with neo bone formation remains a challenge for bone-repairing materials. Here a patient with a broad-based osteochondroma. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Hereditary sclerosing bone dysplasias result from some disturbance in the pathways involved in osteoblast or osteoclast regulation, leading to abnormal accumulation of bone. It is true that the usual appearance of skeletal metastases is that of focal lesions diffuse sclerosis occurs in only a small fraction of cases of skeletal metastases. Here images of a patient with prostate cancer. 4, Although usually stable in size, bone islands may increase or decrease in size or disappear. Here some typical examples of bone tumors in the foot: Fundamentals of Skeletal Radiology, second edition (2007) ISBN:0781765188. Sclerotic bone lesions are commonly detected by abdominal MRI in children with tuberous sclerosis complex. Distinction of Long Bone Stress Fractures from Pathologic Fractures on Cross-Sectional Imaging: How Successful Are We? Growth of the osteochondroma takes place in the cap, corresponding with normal enchondral growth at the growth plates. Macedo F, Ladeira K, Pinho F et al. The contour of the subchondral bone plate was maintained until day 3, but it was absorbed just under the cartilage defect from day 7 to 14. These lesions may have ill-defined margins, but cortical destruction and an aggressive type of periosteal reaction may also be seen. Notice the numerous predominantly osteoblastic metastases. (2005) ISBN: 9780721602707 -. In this case we see the pathognomonic triad of bone expansion, cortical thickening and trabecular bone thickening in the mixed lytic and sclerotic phase of Paget's disease of right hemipelvis. Biopsy revealed dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. 3, Increased uptake on bone scan associated with a solitary sclerotic lesion is atypical and therefore more worrisome, but largely unhelpful as there are many reports of bone islands having increased Tc-99 m hydroxydiphosphonate (HDP) uptake. Fibrous dysplasia and eosinophilic granuloma more commonly present as osteolytic lesions, but they can be sclerotic. Mixed lytic/sclerotic lesion of right posterolateral 10 th rib, with extensive aggressive-appearing periostitis, as well as a multilobulated soft tissue component. Differentiation of Predominantly Osteoblastic and Osteolytic Spine Metastases by Using Susceptibility-Weighted MRI. 5. In order to classify osteolytic lesions as well-defined or ill-defined, we need to look at the zone of transition between the lesion and the adjacent normal bone. found incidentally on the imaging studies. Etiology Metastases must be included in the differential diagnosis of any bone lesion, whether well-defined or ill-defined osteolytic or sclerotic in age > 40. The radiographic appearance and location are typical. The pathogenesis of myeloma-related bone disease (MBD) is the imbalance of the bone-remodeling process, which results from osteoclast activation, osteoblast suppression, and the immunosuppressed bone marrow microenvironment. However, a specific density range has not been specified for those terms 1. When a reactive process is more likely based on history and imaging features, follow-up is sometimes still needed. Endosteal scalloping of the cortical bone can be seen in benign lesions like Fybrous dysplasia and low-grade chondrosarcoma. Calcifications or mineralization within a bone lesion may be an important clue in the differential diagnosis. ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. MRI features high sensitivity and high specificity for the demonstration of bone metastases in general and for assessing the bone marrow 2,3. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Axial T1-weighted MR image shows homogeneous low signal intensity due to the compact bone apposition. Bone flare phenomenon was well described on bone scans; a study 25 revealed the appearance of new or worsening bone sclerosis at 3-month CT assessment in three of 67 castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients undergoing systemic treatment.
