Occasionally slowly enlargement can be seen. The X-ray features were divided into two groups according to typical and atypical skeletal lesions. Top five location of bone tumors in alphabethic order: Aneurysmal Bone Cyst -tibia, femur, fibula, spine, humerusAdamantinoma -tibia shaft, mandibleChondroblastoma -femur, humerus, tibia, tarsal bone (calc), patellaChondromyxoid fibroma - tibia, femur, tarsal bone, phalanx foot, fibulaChondrosarcoma - femur, rib, iliac bone, humerus, tibiaChordoma -sacrococcygeal, spheno-occipital, cervical, lumbar, thoracicEosinophilic Granuloma -femur, skull, iliac bone, rib, vertebraEnchondroma -phalanges of hands and feet, femur, humerus, metacarpals, ribEwing's sarcoma - femur, iliac bone, fibula, rib, tibiaFibrous dysplasia - femur, tibia, rib, skull, humerusGiant Cell Tumor - femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, distal radiusHemangioma - spine, ribs, craniofacial bones, femur, tibiaLymphoma - femur, tibia, humerus, iliac bone, vertebraMetastases - vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, femur, humerusNon Ossifying Fibroma - tibia, femur, fibula, humerusOsteoid osteoma - femur, tibia, spine, tarsal bone, phalanxOsteoblastoma - spine, tarsal bone (calc), femur, tibia, humerusOsteochondroma - femur, humerus, tibia, fibula, pelvisOsteomyelitis - femur, tibia, humerus, fibula, radiusOsteosarcoma -femur, tibia, humerus, fibula, iliac boneSolitary Bone Cyst -proximal humerus, proximal femur, calcaneal bone, iliac bone. 6. Increased uptake on bone scan has been reported in bone islands, especially giant ones, but warrants imaging follow-up. NOF, fibrous dysplasia, multifocal osteomyelitis, enchondromas, osteochondoma, leukemia and metastatic Ewing' s sarcoma. 7A, and 7B ). 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. Geode or subchondral cyst in the navicular bone, Geode or subchondral cyst in the tarsal bone, X-ray and MRI of a chondroblasoma in the tarsal bone, Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) in the calcaneus. Growth of the osteochondroma takes place in the cap, corresponding with normal enchondral growth at the growth plates. 1988;17(2):101-5. This is a routine medical imaging report. Mirels H. Metastatic Disease in Long Bones: A Proposed Scoring System for Diagnosing Impending Pathologic Fractures. 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. Click here for more examples of eosinophilic granuloma. In the case of benign, slowly growing lesions, the periosteum has time to lay down thick new bone and remodel it into a more normal-appearing cortex. Osteoblastic bone metastases are characterized by increased bone formation 2. The mean and maximum attenuation were measured in Hounsfield units. Sclerotic metastases arise from . The bone marrow compartment is not involved which is important for the surgical strategy. CT-HU has stronger correlations with DEXA than MRI measurements. Plain radiograph and coronal T1-weighted contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed MR image of a mixed lytic and sclerotic lesion of the distal femoral diaphysis. In juxta-articular localisation, the reactive sclerosis may be absent. Usually typical malignant features including permeative-motheaten pattern of destruction, irregular cortical destruction and aggressive (interrupted) periosteal reaction. Plain radiograph in another patient shows irreglar mineralized lesion with elevation of the periosteum and cortical involvement. Large lesions tend to expand into both areas. Spine (Phila Pa 1976). This is consistent with the diagnosis of a reactive process like myositis ossificans. These lesions usually regress spontaneously and may then become sclerotic. The most common focal metastatic lesions originate from the breast (37%), lung (15%), kidney (6%), and thyroid (4%) 43. Sclerotic bone lesions appear exclusively in middle aged black patients. However, a specific density range has not been specified for those terms 1. This 'neocortex' can be smooth and uninterrupted, but may also be focally interrupted in more aggressive lesions like GCT. 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 Cortical destruction (3) Radiographically, GCTs are eccentrically located radiolucent lesions with well-defined lytic 1B margins and geographic bone destruction. This shows that differentiating a tumor from a reactive proces scan be quite difficult in some cases. This is opposed to myositis ossificans which may present very close to the cortical bone, but maturation develops from the center to the periphery. Hallmark of osteosarcoma is the production of bony matrix, which is reflected by the sclerosis seen on the radiograph. 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. 20 yo M w/ 5 cm lytic bone lesion in proximal tibia metaphysis, sharply demarcated w/ sclerotic rim. 2, The primary utility of the bone scan is that if there is no increased uptake, sclerotic metastatic disease is highly unlikely; therefore, the lesion can be considered most likely a bone island and follow-up radiographic imaging obtained. Click here for more information about bone island. Infections, a common tumor mimicker, are seen in any age group. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. (see diagnostic imaging pearls). 2020;60(Suppl 1):1-16. In this chapter, we will discuss key imaging features that strongly indicate the lesion is benign and those that warn further evaluation is warranted. The subchondral bone is key to cartilage and joint health. 4. Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1993. Rib lesions detected on bone scintigraphy often require further characterization with radiography or CT to improve specificity (Figs. Well, generally, it means that it is due to a fairly slow-growing process. Hall F & Gore S. Osteosclerotic Myeloma Variants. DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. Several genes have been discovered that, when disrupted, result in specific types . Sometimes a more solid periosteal reaction is present combined with cortical thickening and broadening of the bone. 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 aggressive periostitis the periosteum does not have time to consolidate. (2007) ISBN: 9780781779302 -. Resonance Imaging Saeed M. Bafaraj . 1 When the vertebral lesion has no benign features, especially in the older adult patient, metastatic disease is always a significant consideration. More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. Therefore, MRI and bone scan were performed. A periosteal reaction with or without layering may be present. 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. The sclerotic lesion in the humeral head could very well be a benign enchondroma based on the imaging findings. (white arrows). It is associated with near total fat loss, severe insulin resistance and hypoleptinemia leading to metabolic derangements.Case PresentationWe report a 25- year- old female with 1-Acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase 2 (APGAT2) mutation, and both sclerotic and lytic bone lesions together for the first time. Small zone of transitionA small zone of transition results in a sharp, well-defined border and is a sign of slow growth.A sclerotic border especially indicates poor biological activity. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association of joint form and lesions on imaging for axSpA patients and controls. A cold bone scan is helpful in distinguishing the bone island from a sclerotic metastasis, whereas a warm bone scan is nondiagnostic. (2007) ISBN:0781765188. Small osteolytic lesion (up to 1.5 cm) with or without central calcification. Should be included in the differential diagnosis of young patient with multiple lucent lesions (Langerhans cell histiocytosis). AJR Am J Roentgenol. Adam Greenspan, Gernot Jundt, Wolfgang Remagen. Melorrheostosis is a dysplasia of the bone, characterized by apposition of mature bone on the outer or inner surface of cortical bone. FIGURE 2.7 Computed tomography of osteoid osteoma. Diffuse skeletal infarcts can be a common cause of diffuse skeletal sclerosis. Mark Blumenkehl, MD is a specialist in Gastroenterology whose practice locations include: Detroit, Sterling Hgts Bone cyst is one of the manifestations of CGL with AGPAT2 mutation. Cartilaginous tumors in particular chondrosarcoma may show endosteal scalloping, while a bone infarct does not. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-22391. At the periphery of the infarct a zone of relative high signal intensity on T2WI may be found. Patients usually have sclerotic bone lesions before and lytic bone lesions after puberty. In breast cancer, metastases may present as lytic lesions that may become sclerotic expressing a favourable response to chemotherapy. There are two tumor-like lesions which may mimic a malignancy and have to be included in the differential diagnosis. However, cancers that metastasize to bone are very common. Bone scan shows no high activity, opposed to low-grade intraosseous osteosarcoma. 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), The sclerotic lesion in the humeral head could very well be a benign enchondroma based on the imaging findings. 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. In some cases however the osteolytic nidus can be visible on the radiograph (figure). Rapid growth of the mineralized mass is not uncommon. Adamantinoma in case of a sclerotic lesion with several lucencies of the tibia in a young patient. The most reliable indicator in determining whether these lesions are benign or malignant is the zone of transition between the lesion and the adjacent normal bone (1). Here images of an osteosarcoma in the right femur. Skeletal Radiol. Etiology In patients > 30 years, and particularly > 40 years, despite benign radiographic features, a metastasis or plasmacytoma also have to be considered Here a 44-year old male with a mixed lytic and sclerotic mass arising from the fifth metacarpal bone. 2021;216(4):1022-30. Sclerotic osteoblastic metastases must be included in the differential diagnosis of any sclerotic bone lesion in a patient > 40 years. 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. In this article we will discuss the differential diagnosis of sclerotic bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in more detail. 1. This image is of a 20 year old patient with a sclerotic expansile lesion in the clavicle. The differential diagnosis of solitary sclerotic bone lesions can be narrowed down according to the following factors 1-3: cartilaginous matrix (rings and arcs appearance). It is nost commonly located on the posterior side of the distal meta-diaphysis of the femur. Fundamentals of Skeletal Radiology, second edition Donald Resnick, Mark J. Kransdorf. It is a feature of malignant bone tumors. This occurs in early knee osteoarthritis and indicates the potential for cartilage loss and misalignment of a knee compartment. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. However, not all epidermal inclusion cysts involve bone, and some are confined to the subcutaneous tissues. Frequently encountered as a coincidental finding and can be found in any bone. All images were evaluated for joint form, erosion, sclerosis, fat metaplasia and bone marrow oedema (BMO) by two independent readers. Here two patients with a bizar parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also called Nora's lesion. After an injury, different types of fluid can build up in a bone. Results: In 24 patients, 52 new sclerotic lesions observed during therapy were selected for re-evaluation of conventional radiographs and bone scans. 2. It can identify small or large tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), encephalitis (brain inflammation), or meningitis (inflammation of the meninges that lie between the brain and the skull). Radiographic features that should raise the suspicion of malignant transformation on plain radiographs or CT include: Here the reactive sclerosis is the most obvious finding on the X-ray. MRI also may detect the nidus, combined with abundant bone marrow and soft tissue edema. Wide zone of transition Most common malignant bone tumor, which is almost always low-grade, Primary sites of origin: proximal long bones, around knee, pelvis and shoulder girdle, usually central and metaphyseal. and PD-L1 PET/CT (PD-L1 positivity is defined as having at least one lesion with radiotracer uptake over the . 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. Consider peripheral chondrosaroma in growing osteochondromas with or without pain after closure of the physeal plate. 33.1d). Well, generally, it means that it is due to a fairly slow-growing process. Radiological atlas of bone tumours of the Netherlands Committee on Bone Tumors by Clyde A. Helms Non-ossifying fibroma which has been filled in. Here an incidental finding of several eccentric sclerotic lesions of the distal femur. 2021;216(4):1022-30. In this case, because of the increased uptake on bone scintigraphy, a follow-up MRI was recommended at 6 and 12 months. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy of plasma cells that causes bone-destructive lesions and associated skeletal-related events (SREs). In this chapter, we will discuss key imaging features that strongly indicate the lesion is benign and those that warn further evaluation is warranted. Common: Metastases, multiple myeloma, multiple enchondromas. Most commonly originate from prostate and breast cancer and less frequently from lung cancer, lymphoma or carcinoid. Cancers (Basel). Click here for more examples of chondrosarcoma. It can also be proven histologically. Sclerosis is usually the most prominent finding in subacute and chronic osteomyelitis. Our patient had lytic bone lesions in (femur) long bones and also sclerotic lesions in the pelvic which was . 3. T2-weighted axial MR image demonstrates high signal intensity of the tumor in the metacarpal bone with extension of a lobulated soft tissue mass. Sclerotic bone metastasis as initial manifestation of lung adenocarcinoma in a patient with SLE - The Lancet Oncology Clinical Picture | Volume 24, ISSUE 3, e144, March 2023 Sclerotic bone metastasis as initial manifestation of lung adenocarcinoma in a patient with SLE Prof Ruchi Mittal, MD Debashis Maikap, MD Pallavi Mishra, MD Starting on day 28, sclerotic changes surrounding the bone absorption area were detected. Check for errors and try again. Notice the numerous predominantly osteoblastic metastases. Isaac A, Dalili D, Dalili D, Weber M. State-Of-The-Art Imaging for Diagnosis of Metastatic Bone Disease. Azar A, Garner H, Rhodes N, Yarlagadda B, Wessell D. CT Attenuation Values Do Not Reliably Distinguish Benign Sclerotic Lesions From Osteoblastic Metastases in Patients Undergoing Bone Biopsy. Differential Diagnosis of Diffuse Sclerotic Bone Lesions. Case 7: metastases from prostate carcinoma, Sclerotic bone pseudolesions - external artifact, bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora lesion), conventional intramedullary chondrosarcoma, dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (Trevor disease), solitary bone plasmacytoma with minimal bone marrow involvement, mixed lytic and sclerotic bone metastases, Lodwick classification of lytic bone lesions, Modified Lodwick-Madewell classification of lytic bone lesions. 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. 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 signal intensity on MR depends on the amount of calcifications and ossifications and fibrous tissue (low SI) and cystic components (high SI on T2). 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. Notice the resemblance to a juxtacortical mass in another patient (right), which was a biopsy proven parosteal osteosarcoma. Finally, we conclude with a case of an incidentally presenting sclerotic vertebral body lesion. Notice that CT depicts these lesions far better (red arrows). brae in keeping with diffuse bone infarcts. Subungual exostoses are bony projections which arise from the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx, most commonly of the hallux. The chondroid matrix is of a variable amount from almost absent to dens compact chondroid matrix. Calcifications in chondroid tumors have many descriptions: rings-and-arcs, popcorn, focal stippled or flocculent. It is most commonly located in the outer table of the neurocranium or in a paranasal sinus. 3. Bone metastases start with the tropism of cancer cells to the bone through different multi-step tumor-host interactions, as described by the . Eosinophilic granuloma like osteomyelitis, can be a serious mimicker of malignancy (particularly Ewing sarcoma). Solitary sclerotic bone (osteosclerotic or osteoblastic) lesions are lesions of bone characterized by a higher density or attenuation on radiographs or computer tomography compared to the adjacent trabecular bone. See article: bone metastases. 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 The mnemonic I VINDICATE is a commonly used mnemonic for the differential diagnostis of any radiological lesion. 5, In the cases with no known primary malignancy that are being followed with serial imaging, if the lesion increases in diameter by greater than 25% at 6 months or less, or greater than 50% at 12 months, open biopsy has been recommended by Brien et al. AJR 2005; 185:915-924. 2019;290(1):146-54. 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. It could be blood or fluids released from fibrosis (scarred tissue) or necrosis (tissue death). Unable to process the form. Here a lesion located in the epi- and metaphysis of the proximal humerus. ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. An aggressive type is seen in malignant tumors, but also in benign lesions with aggressive behavior, such as infections and eosinophilic granuloma. Complete destruction may be seen in high-grade malignant lesions, but also in locally aggressive benign lesions like EG and osteomyelitis. If the disorder it is reacting to is rapidly progressive, there may only be time for retreat (defense). Mild mass effect on adjacent lung, diaphragm, and liver. Patients with sclerotic lesions due to metastasis often have a history of prior malignant disease. 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. MR usually shows a large amount of reactive changes in bone and soft tissue. Both of these entities may have an aggressive growth pattern. Here images of a patient with breast cancer. Impact of Sclerotic. These are inert filled-in non-ossifying fibromas. Coronal MR image demonstrates subtle low intensity line representing the fracture. Henry Ford Hospital, Neuro Surgery, MI, 1999 Universitat Dusseldorf, Neuro Surgery, 1990 Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, Neuro Surgery, 1983 Notice how easily MRI depicts these lesions. 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. Parosteal osteosarcoma is a sarcoma that has it's origin on the surface of the bone. The bone scan is also helpful to look for additional sites of increased uptake that may not have been imaged, such as multiple nontraumatic rib, calvarial, or long bone lesions, which would strongly suggest the diagnosis of metastatic disease. The differential diagnosis mostly depends on the review of the conventional radiographs and the age of the patient. For example: Differential Diagnosis of Focal or Multifocal Sclerotic Bone Lesions. They can affect any bone and be either benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). Recommendation: No specific imaging recommendation. There are no calcifications. The diagnosis was fibrous dysplasia. by Clyde A. Helms FD is often purely lytic, but may have a groundglass appearance as the matrix calcifies. Society of Skeletal Radiology- White Paper. Sclerotic jaw lesions are not rare and are frequently encountered on radiographs and computed tomography (CT). Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. Central location most common with some expansion and cortical thinning. 11. W. B. Saunders company 1995, by Mark J. Kransdorf and Donald E. Sweet In skeletally mature patients, GCTs begin in the metaphysics and extend deep to the subchondral bone plate of the articular surface. Radiologe. 13. (B) In another patient, a 21-year-old woman, note a radiolucent lesion with sclerotic border affecting the medial cortex of the distal femur ( arrows ). The zone of transition only applies to osteolytic lesions since sclerotic lesions usually have a narrow transition zone. 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. Brant WE, Helms CA. 2019;15:100205. 33.1b), CT scan axial images (c), and bone scintigraphy (d). 2 ed. When considering hyperparathyroidism, look for evidence of subperiosteal bone resorption. Yes, it is possible to have a clear lumbar puncture and still have Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It can differentiate predominantly osteoblastic from osteolytic bone metastases 9 as well as easily demonstrate and assess complications such as pathological fractures or spinal cord compression 2,3. A high grade chondrosarcoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis. In general, they're slow-growing.. Here a partially calcified mass against the proximal humerus with involvement of the cortical bone on an axial CT image. 2014;71(1):39. 2. J Korean Soc Radiol. Here, we showed that sBT values are higher in patients presenting 496 with bone loss . ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. Endosteal scalloping of the cortical bone can be seen in benign lesions like Fybrous dysplasia and low-grade chondrosarcoma. Azar A, Garner H, Rhodes N, Yarlagadda B, Wessell D. CT Attenuation Values Do Not Reliably Distinguish Benign Sclerotic Lesions From Osteoblastic Metastases in Patients Undergoing Bone Biopsy. Abbreviations used: The most important determinators in the analysis of a potential bone tumor are: It is important to realize that the plain radiograph is the most useful examination for differentiating these lesions.CT and MRI are only helpful in selected cases. Another approach to the differential diagnosis of sclerotic bone lesions is to use the mnemonic I VINDICATE, which means 'I clear myself from accusation'. Here an image of a patient with chronic osteomyelitis.

Mixed lytic/sclerotic lesion of right posterolateral 10 th rib, with extensive aggressive-appearing periostitis, as well as a multilobulated soft tissue component. 4 , 5 , 6. Unable to process the form. Likewise patients with sclerotic lesions due to various drugs or minerals will tell you what they are taking if you ask them. Bone cements such as polymethyl methacrylate and calcium phosphates have been widely used for the reconstruction of bone. 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. These lesions may have ill-defined margins, but cortical destruction and an aggressive type of periosteal reaction may also be seen.
