Type
Malignancy:
Benign
Malignant ( Cancer/Neoplasma )
Origin :
Local
Metastatic
Definition n Epidemiology
osteosarcoma is a primary intramedullary high grade
malignant tumour in which the neoplastic cells produce
osteoid, even if only in small amounts. (Bone Forming
Tumors)
Most common primary malignant tumour of bone
Incidence of 4-5 per million population.
Most frequently occurs in the second decade
Males : females in a ratio of 3:2
Most common is in metaphyse of long bones
particular, the distal femur, proximal tibia, and
proximal humerus
Clinical features
Symptom
commonly difficult to interpret
Pain: deep, boring and severe
Sign
painful, tender mass
Decreased range of motion, limitation of normal
function
oedema & localized warmth
telangectasias and bruit on auscultation
Pathological fracture
Lab finding:
alkaline phosphatase
lactic acid dehydrogenase
Radiology
Extremely variable
osteoblastic - osteolytic
In most cases:
mixed lytic/blastic lesion
cortical destruction
Extension in to soft tissue.
Periosteal reactive bone formation
Macroscopy
large (over 5 cm)
metaphyseally centered
fleshy or hard tumour
which may contain
cartilage.
Prognosis
Untreated, conventional osteosarcoma is universally
fatal.
Aggressive local growth and rapid haematogenous
systemic dissemination
Response to pre-operative therapy is currently the
most sensitive indicator for prognostic factor
Definiton n Epidemiology
Giant Cell Tumor (G.C.T.) of bone is a benign bone
tumor which contain giant cells
Incidence : 13% of all bone tumor
• Sex : Male > Female
• Age : 2nd -4th decade >>>
• Location : Distal femur,Proximal tibia, Distal radius
• Staging : stage 2 - Stage 3
Symptoms
Pain at the area of tumor, increasingly
Weaken bone, fracture
Mass +, hard n fix but not painly
Treatment
Resection & reconstruction with prosthesis
Curette & stabilization
Amputation
Epidemology N Pathophisiology
Most common variety of bone tumors
Approximately 70% of all malignant bone tumors are
metastatic in origin
Particularly in older patients
Cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, and kidney
account for 80% of all metastatic cancers to bone
Metastase → bone marow
Vascular
Lymphatic
Proccess
Osteoblastic
osteolytic
Clinical Presentation
> 40 yo
Axial skeleton and proximal segments of limb bones
“Silent”
Other signs of malignancy (weight loss, anemia,
increase: esr, alp, etc)
Imaging
Plain RO
Not always visible
Visible when 30-50% lytic procces
Bone scan
Screening
CT-scan & MRI
Aditional
Lytic lesions
the most common
75% of all metastatic lesions
Carcinoma of the kidney, lung, breast, gastrointestinal
(GI) tract, or thyroid
Sclerotic lesions
15% of all metastatic lesions
In men caused by a prostatic gland cancer or a
seminoma
In women caused by carcinoma of the breast, uterus or
ovary
In both genders caused by carcinoid tumors, bladder
tumors neurogenic tumors,
Mixed lesions
10% of all metastatic lesions
Breast and lung tumors
Treatment
No operatif
Operatif
Operatif + other modalities
