K E Y P O I N T S Primary bone tumors are rare;non-neoplastic
conditions, metastatic disease, and lymphohematologic malignancies, which may simulate primary bone tumors, by far outnumber genuine bone tumors.
Excluding myeloma and lymphoma, malignant primary bone tumors constitute only 0.2% of all malignancies in adults and approximately 5% of childhood malignancies.
![Page 6: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Epidemiology The vast majority of primary bone tumors are benign
and since many are non-symptomatic they remain undetected or are detected only incidentally at radiographic examinations for other reasons. The true incidence of benign bone tumors has therefore been difficult to determine.
The incidence of primary bone malignancies is in contrast, fairly well documented in various national cancer registries

Classification of primary benign bone tumors, peak age, and most common sites distribution
The histologic classification of bone tumors is based on cytologic findings (in particular cell type such as osteocyte/osteoblast, chondrocyte/chondroblast, osteoclast,etc.), architecture, and type of matrix produced by the tumor.
Despite the rarity of bone tumors there is a very wide spectrum of entities with sometimes overlapping features; the current WHO classification (2002) includes a total of 45 main bone tumor types.

Principles of Detection and Diagnosis The majority of bone tumours are detected using
conventional radiographs.
Occasionally occult lesions may be detected using more sensitive techniques such as bone scintigraphy and MR imaging
Careful analysis of the pattern of bone destruction, periosteal reaction and matrix mineralisation on radiographs allow for characterisation of many bone tumours.
Additional factors that should be included in determining the likely diagnosis include the age of the patient, location of the tumour in bone and any history of a pre-existing bone abnormality, e. g. Paget’s disease
![Page 20: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Diagnosis Before assessing the imaging the prudent radiologist
should establish some basic facts regarding the patient
Age
Gender
Ethnic and geographic origin.
Family history
Past medical history
Multiplicity
Serology
![Page 21: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Age. The age of the patient is arguably the single most
useful piece of information as it frequently influences the differential diagnosis
Many musculoskeletal neoplasms exhibit a peak incidence at different ages
Jack Edeiken(skeletal radiologist), reasonably claimed that approximately 80% of bone tumours could be correctly diagnosed on the basis of age alone.

Gender. In the individual case gender does not play a
significant role in formulating the differential diagnosis
When looking at large series of patients with different types of bone tumor it can be seen that many occur slightly more commonly in boys.
![Page 25: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ethnic and geographic origin Ewing’s sarcoma is prevalent in Caucasians but is
rarely seen in the Afro -Caribbean races
Non-neoplastic bone conditions that may on occasion simulate neoplasia also show a racial predisposition, e.g. sickle cell,Gaucher’s and Paget’s diseases
Osseous TB can mimic a bone tumour and is seen commonly in developing countries
![Page 26: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Family history Little evidence of a familial predisposition to the
formation of musculoskeletal neoplasms in most instances.
The exceptions are certain hereditary bone conditions that may be found in association with malignant change,inlude:
Ollier’s disease and Mafucci’s syndrome
congenital retinoblastoma
Rothmund–Thomson syndrome.
![Page 27: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Serology. Abnormal serological tests, such as raised erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR) and white cell count, together with the examination findings of a hot swollen limb, are highly suggestive of a bone or so tissue infection. Ewing’s sarcoma, however ,is notorious for presenting with similar clinical and serological findings.
The brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism may mimic a true bone tumor on both imaging and histology. Raised serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase levels should alert the clinician to the possibility of this diagnosis.
Raised prostatic serum antigen level in an elderly male patient presenting with a bone-forming tumour is highly suggestive of a prostate metastasis.
![Page 28: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Radiographic DiagnosisThe radiograph remains the most
accurate of all the imaging techniques currently available in determining the differential diagnosis of a bone lesion.
Two ways:
“Aunt Minnie approach”
Pattern analysis
![Page 29: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“Aunt Minnie approach”. This epithet was attributed by the late Ben Felson to Ed
Neuhauser, Chief of Radiology at the Boston Children’s Hospital over half a century ago.
It consists of a question and answer:
Q:“How do you know that woman is your Aunt Minnie?”
A: “Because I’ve seen her before and it looks like her”
This approach relies on familiarity with the typical overall appearances of a particular lesion.
This is all very satisfactory if the abnormality under investigation is classic in appearance, but problems arise if the lesion has atypical features, arises at an unusual site or is mimicked by a differing pathology.
![Page 30: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pattern analysis Relies on meticulous recognition of various
radiographic signs.
Analysis can be best illustrated by answering a series of five questions:
Which bone is affected?
Where in that bone is the lesion located?
What is the tumour doing to the bone (pattern of destruction)?
What form of periosteal reaction, if any, is present?
What type of matrix mineralisation, if any, is present?
![Page 31: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Site in Skeleton
Most bone tumours and infections occur around the knee and in the proximal humerus, and as such, little diagnostic information can be deduced from noting the affected bone in many cases.
Notable exception:
Benign cartilagenous tumors: hands and feet
Osteo fibrous dysplasia and adamantinoma : classically involve the diaphysis of the tibia and are extremely rare at any other site
Medial third of the clavicle in children and adolescents: osteomyelitis or part of the spectrum of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.
![Page 32: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
•Most lesions arising in the sternum are malignant• Chordoma characteristically arises from the clivusor sacrum.•Many different tumours may arise in the bony spine, malignant lesions are found predominantly in the anterior part of the vertebra (body), while benign lesions, with a few exceptions, are characteristically found in the posterior elements•Most spinal infections develop first in the vertebral endplate and rapidly extend to involve the disc space, which is uncommon in neoplasia.

Osteobrousdysplasia (OFD) tibiaLateral radiograph shows a typical mildly expansile lytic lesion arising in the
anterior cortex of the diaphysis. This is the typical site for OFD
and adamantinoma; both are rare at other skeletal sites

Location in Bone The site of the original bone tumour is an important
parameter of diagnosis. It reflects the site of greatest cellular activity.
During the adolescent growth spurt the most active areas are the metaphyses around the knee and the proximal humerus.
Tumour originating from marrow cells may occur anywhere along the bone
Conventional osteosarcoma will tend, therefore, to originate in the metaphysis or meta-diaphysis
![Page 35: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

In the child the differential diagnosis of a lesion arising within an epiphysis can be realistically limited to: 1.Chondroblastoma2. epiphyseal abscess (pyogenic or tuberculous) and3. Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Following skeletal fusion subarticular lesions, analogous in the adult to the epiphyseal lesions in children, include:1. giant cell tumour2.clear cell chondrosarcoma (rare)3. intraosseous ganglion
With the exception of epiphyseal abscess most osteomyelitiswill arise within the metaphysis of a long bone, typically the tibia and femur.

summary Analysis of the location of a tumour in bone should,
therefore, recognize the position in both the longitudinal and transverse planes.
Combining these factors can then help to narrow down the differential diagnosis.
Examples:
A Giant cell tumour will be subarticular and eccentric, whereas both non-ossifying fibroma and chondromyxoidfibroma will tend to be metaphyseal and eccentric in location
In the sacrum, chordoma classically arises in the midline, whereas giant cell tumour, a not uncommon tumour in the sacrum at a similar age, will be eccentric bordering on one of the sacroiliac joints, i.e. subarticular in origin.

Pattern of Bone Destruction Bone destruction is usually the first radiographic sign of disease and may
be the only evidence of pathology.
Trabecular bone is more easily destroyed than cortical bone. As individual trabeculae contribute less to the overall radiographic image, relatively large amounts of spongy bone must be destroyed before it is visible
Analysis of the interface between tumour and host bone is a good indicator of the rate of growth in the lesion.
A sharply marginated lesion usually denotes slower growth than a non-marginated lesion.
The faster the growth, the more “aggressive” the pattern of destruction and the wider the zone of transition between tumour and the normal bone
Aggressivity, per se, does not conclusively indicate malignancy,but the malignant tumours tend to be faster growing than their benign counterparts.
![Page 48: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The American skeletal radiologist, GwilymLodwick, described three patterns of bone destruction associated with tumours and tumour-like lesions of bone:
type 1, geographic bone destruction
type 2, moth-eaten bone destruction
type 3, permeative bone destruction
![Page 49: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Type 1: Geographic In this pattern the growth rate is sufficiently
indolent and the lesion will appear well marginated with a thin zone of transition.
The geographic pattern may be further subdivided into 3 types depending on the appearance of the margin and the effect on the cortex
Type 1A
Type 1B
Type 1c
![Page 52: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Type 1A The slowest growing of all the lesions and thereby the
least aggressive, is characterized by a sclerotic margin.
The thicker the sclerotic rim, the longer the host bone has had time to respond to the lesions indicating a slow rate of growth
The vast majority of these lesions will prove to be benign
![Page 53: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Type 1B The lesion is well defined without the sclerotic margin.
While still relatively slow growing, the rate is slightly greater than that of type 1A. Again, the majority of type-1B lesions are benign, although some malignancies may on occasion demonstrate this pattern.

Type 1C Margin is less well defined, indicating a more
aggressive pattern.
cortex is also destroyed.
Few benign tumours exhibit a type-1C pattern.
The differential diagnosis in this situation includes giant cell tumour, malignant fibrous histiocytoma and lymphoma of bone

Type 2 : Moth-eaten; Type 3 : Permeative Moth-eaten and permeative patterns of bone
destruction reflect the increasingly aggressive nature of these tumours compared with geographic lesions
This is a spectrum of change varying from multiple foci of bone destruction which may coalesce (moth-eaten) to multiple tiny defects, best seen in the cortical bone, which gradually diminish in size and frequency from the centre to periphery of the lesion (permeative) resulting in an ill-defined wide zone of transition
![Page 58: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Examples
Metastasis,
Ewing’s sarcoma and

Continuous Periosteal Reaction A continuous periosteal reaction may be observed with either:
intact or
a destroyed underlying cortex (“expanded”)
Expansion represents a relatively slow process by which endosteal bone resorption is balanced by periosteal new bone formation.
In faster-growing lesions the endosteal resorption will exceed periosteal ap-position and a thin outer “shell” will be produced
Shells are typically found in benign lesions:
simple bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), chondromyxoidfibroma, fibrous dysplasia and giant cell tumour
Shells are also well recognised in “expansile” metastases of renal and thyroid origin and plasmacytoma

lamellated periosteal reaction A single lamellar periosteal reaction is formed by a
thin radiodense line separated from the cortex by a narrow radiolucent zone
periosteal reaction is a dynamic process and a single lamella may fill in to produce a solid appearance or go on to the addition of further lamellae (“onion skin”).

spiculated (“hair-on-end”) periosteal reaction This occurs when the mineralisation is oriented
perpendicular to the cortex and denotes a more rapidly evolving process:
Typical of malignant tumors:
Osteosarcoma and Ewings sarcoma
May be seen in benign tumours including meningioma, haemangioma of bone and non-neoplastic conditions such as thalassemia and thyroid acropachy.

Periosteal osteosarcoma in the tibiaAP radiograph shows a spiculated periostealreaction arising from the
medial aspect of the proximal diaphysis. obliquity of the spicules at the periphery of the lesion means that the pattern
could also be described as “sun-ray” or “sun-burst”
![Page 73: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
DiscontinuousPeriosteal Reaction A discontinuous or interrupted periosteal reaction indicates that the
mineralisation has been breached in one of two ways:
Either the process, usually a tumour, simply occupies the available space,
or the rate of apposition of new bone is exceeded by the rate of resorption.
In malignant bone tumours the site of interruption of a periostealreaction is usually the area of maximum extra-osseous tumour growth.
Types:
Codmans Angle
Buttresses
Truncated lamellae
![Page 74: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Codman Angle
The periosteal reaction forms an angular configuration with the underlying cortex, resembling two sides of an angle and indicates an aggressive pathology.
This is formed by the elevation of periosteum by tumor, blood,edemaor pus
Angle may or may not contain tumor
![Page 75: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

Buttresses In this type the solid reactive
bone is formed at the lateral extra osseous margin of slow growing bone lesions, the cortex beneath the buttress Is frequently intact.
![Page 77: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
CombinedPeriosteal Reaction More than one pattern of periosteal reaction may be
manifest in the same case and is called a combined or complex pattern. This reflects the varying rate of growth at different sites in the same lesion.
The divergent spiculated periosteal reaction, otherwise known as “sun-burst” or “sun-ray”, is a typical example of a complex pattern and is suggestive of osteosarcoma
![Page 78: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Tumour Mineralisation Tumour new bone is the matrix of intercellular substance
produced by certain tumour cells that can calcify or ossify.
Radiodense tumour matrix is of either osteoid (osteogenictumours) or chondroid (chondrogenic tumours) origin.
Tumour osteoid is typied by
solid (sharp-edged) or
cloud to ivory-like
Tumour cartilage is variously described as
stippled, .
ring and arc and
popcorn in appearance

Identifying the pattern of matrix calcification will signicantly reduce the differential diagnosis, but matrix per se has no influence as to whether the lesion is benign or malignant, just whether the tumour is of osteogenic or chondrogenic origin.
![Page 81: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)

ROLE OF CT CT has complementary role in the diagnosis and local staging of bone
tumors.
Surgical planning
Custom prosthesis production
Biopsy
Percutaneous treatment guidance
Scanning the chest for detection of pulmonary metastases is primary role for CT
CT remains essential for patients in whom MR is contraindicated
CT provides greater morphological detail about the bone surrounding lesion and analysis can be applied in the same way as classic radiographic margin analysis.
![Page 86: Imaging of Bone Tumors](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/55a5f90a1a28ab56188b48cb/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
CT is typically used in order to obtain radiographic information where conventional radiograph fail due to limited contrast resolution, complex anatomy e.g. spine, pelvis or scapula
Most important advantage of CT over radiography is its superior delineation of cortical alterations, of which cortical expansion and remodelling, endosteal scalloping and focal penetration represent the most common form in benign bone lesion
CT has the ability to depict periosteal reaction that might be invisible on radiograph .
Subtle matrix calcifications
Intraosseous tumors are well demonstrated

Images should be obtained with the smallest practical FOV in order to maximize image detail, while performing the entire study in a clinically practical time period
T1-weighted spin-echo images are particularly important in the evaluation of bone marrow, whereas intermediate-weighted images should be avoided.
Fat suppression must be applied when obtaining T2-weighted fast spin-echo images to demarcate tumor from surrounding bone marrow and edema.
Administration of a gadolinium-chelate contrast material can provide useful information in characterization of bone lesions, as well as in assessment of response to therapy and detection of recurrent tumor.

Role of USG Ultrasound can be used to assess subperiostealor
extraosseous bone tumour extension.
Ultrasound can accurately assess the cartilage cap of an osteochondroma
Bone tumours are frequently amenable to sonographically guided core needle biopsy with excellent results.
Ultrasound can prove useful in the detection oflocaltumour recurrence, especially in the presence of an endoprosthetic replacement.
Ultrasound may have a future role in the assessment of tumour response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Imaging Features of Bone Tumourson Ultrasound The normal cortex of a long bone is seen as a thin
hyperechoic line which produces posterior acoustic shadowing
Ultrasound should be used to assess the integrity of the cortex, with the bone being scanned in the longitudinal and transverse planes.
Colour Doppler should also be routinely used to assess areas of tumour neovascularity and to identify tumourrelationship to any adjacent neurovascular structures

Morphological Features of Bone Tumours on Ultrasound Cortex
Ultrasound can demonstrate an intact underlying cortex where a lesion is arising in a juxtacortical location and is not involving the bone itself
Pathological fractures are seen as a discontinuity and step of the normal hyperechoic linear cortical line, which can also be associated with an extraosseous extension of the tumour mass.
Cortical destruction from primary intramedullary tumours, particularly osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, appears as a discontinuity or marked irregularity of the smooth hyperechoicline of the normal cortex, with the associated extraosseoustumour mass

Periosteum Ultrasound can demonstrate the unmineralised
periosteum as a thin, hyperechoic line overlying the extraosseous tumour mass

Neurovascular Bundle Ultrasound can demonstrate displacement or
encasement of the neurovascular bundle
useful in assessing flow within the vessels and ensuring that biopsy approaches are remote from the neurovascular bundle, which can sometimes be difficult to appreciate with CT-guided biopsy.
