Occasionally slowly enlargement can be seen. Focal sclerotic bony lesions (mnemonic). When a reactive process is more likely based on history and imaging features, follow-up is sometimes still needed. Growth has been demonstrated well after skeletal maturity. 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. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR image demonstrates heterogeneous enhancement of the mass with extensive surrounding edema. Plain films typically reveal lesions with moth-eaten or permeative pattern of the transition zone with irregular cortical destruction and an interrupted periosteal reaction with soft tissue extension. 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. <-Lucent Lesions of Bone | Periosteal Reaction->. This solitary, uniformly high-density lesion with neither edema in the surrounding bone marrow nor extension into the surrounding soft tissue most likely represents a giant bone island. Osteochondroma is a bony protrusion covered by a cartilaginous cap. Bone cements such as polymethyl methacrylate and calcium phosphates have been widely used for the reconstruction of bone. Here a radiograph of the pelvis with a barely visible osteoblastic metastasis in the left iliac bone (blue arrow). Here, we showed that sBT values are higher in patients presenting 496 with bone loss . Gadolinium is usually minimal or absent (see right image). Click here for more examples of enchondromas. Here a 44-year old male with a mixed lytic and sclerotic mass arising from the fifth metacarpal bone. Ali Mohammed Hammamy R, Farooqui K, Ghadban W. Sclerotic Bone Metastasis in Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma. Non-ossifying fibroma which has been filled in. In this article we will discuss the differential diagnosis of sclerotic bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in more detail. This image is of a 20 year old patient with a sclerotic expansile lesion in the clavicle. 1. Location within the skeleton However, cancers that metastasize to bone are very common. The zone of transition is the most reliable indicator in determining whether an osteolytic lesion is benign or malignant (1). Osteoblastic metastases have a lower fracture risk than lytic or mixed bone metastases 11-13. post-treatment appearance of any lytic bone 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. Should be included in the differential diagnosis of young patient with multiple lucent lesions (Langerhans cell histiocytosis).

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. T2-weighted axial MR image demonstrates high signal intensity of the tumor in the metacarpal bone with extension of a lobulated soft tissue mass. We provide care in several areas of orthopedics, such as: hand and wrist care, foot and ankle care, and joint replacement. 5 Biopsy should be considered in atypical cases or in high-risk patients with primary malignancies associated with osteoblastic metastatic disease. Fibrous dysplasia can be monostotic or polyostotic. Osteoblastic metastases (2) Osteoblastic bone metastases are characterized by increased bone formation 2. These are inert filled-in non-ossifying fibromas. Confavreux C, Follet H, Mitton D, Pialat J, Clzardin P. Fracture Risk Evaluation of Bone Metastases: A Burning Issue. Increased uptake on bone scan has been reported in bone islands, especially giant ones, but warrants imaging follow-up. Here Melorrheostosis of the ulna with the appearance of candle wax. 105-118. Here an example of a patient with a stress fracture of the distal fibula. Here a lesion located in the epi- and metaphysis of the proximal humerus. A periosteal reaction with or without layering may be present. Radiologic Atlas of Bone Tumors These are infections and eosinophilic granuloma. Bone scan shows no high activity, opposed to low-grade intraosseous osteosarcoma. The sclerotic lesion in the humeral head could very well be a benign enchondroma based on the imaging findings. Sclerotic Lesions of the Spine 1311. predominant hypointensity on all imaging sequences mimicking a sclerotic process due to a variety of fac- . Osteoblastic metastatic disease (see Table 33.1): More often multiple with increased uptake on bone scan. Metastases and multiple myelomaIn patients > 40 years metastases and multiple myeloma are the most common bone tumors.Metastases under the age of 40 are extremely rare, unless a patient is known to have a primary malignancy.Metastases could be included in the differential diagnosis if a younger patient is known to have a malignancy, such as neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma or retinoblastoma.

Clinically relevant bone metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for prostate cancer patients. Case 2: sclerotic metastases from prostate cancer, Generalised increased bone density (mnemonic). mutation, and both sclerotic and lytic bone lesions together for the first time. As current recommendations for tuberous sclerosis complex surveillance include renal MR performed i 6. 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. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Yap K, Knipe H, Niknejad M, et al. 5. Consider peripheral chondrosaroma in growing osteochondromas with or without pain after closure of the physeal plate. 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. Complete destruction may be seen in high-grade malignant lesions, but also in locally aggressive benign lesions like EG and osteomyelitis. At the 1-year follow-up, the lesion was completely stable and no additional follow-up was recommended in the absence of symptoms. 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. Most primary bone tumors are seen in patients In patients > 30 years we must always include metastases and myeloma in the differential diagnosis. diffuse sclerotic metastases to the pelvis, sacrum and femurs. The mnemonic I VINDICATE is a commonly used mnemonic for the differential diagnostis of any radiological lesion. Here images of a patient with prostate cancer. Society of Skeletal Radiology- White Paper. DD: old SBC. Presentation: pain, mass, pathologic fracture. 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). Diffuse bony sclerosis (mnemonic). 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. The chondroid matrix is of a variable amount from almost absent to dens compact chondroid matrix. On the left three bone lesions with a narrow zone of transition. The homogeneous pattern is relatively uncommon compared to the heterogeneous pattern. Polyostotic lesions > 30 years Both imaging modalities achieved only a moderate correlation with DEXA. 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. Skeletal Radiol. Halo of increased signal on T2 W images about the low signal central lesion is suggestive of metastatic disease. Classic ground glass appearance of the bone. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. 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. I think that the best way is to start with a good differential diagnosis for sclerotic bones. In patients Degenerative subchondral cyst: epiphyseal, Chondroid matrix in cartilaginous tumors like enchondromas and chondrosarcomsa. If the disorder it is reacting to is rapidly progressive, there may only be time for retreat (defense). (2007) ISBN:0781765188. Plain radiograph in another patient shows irreglar mineralized lesion with elevation of the periosteum and cortical involvement. These tumors may be accompanied by a large soft tissue mass while there is almost no visible bone destruction. Interventional Radiology). If there are multiple or polyostotic lesions, the differential diagnosis must be adjusted. The term bone infarction is used for osteonecrosis within the diaphysis or metaphysis. The most common appearance is the mixed lytic-sclerotic. Click here for more examples of chondrosarcoma. Typical presentation: well-defined osteolytic lesion in tarsal bone, patella or epiphysis of a long bone in a 20-year old with pain and swelling in a joint. Sclerotic bone metastases typically present as radiodense bone lesions that are round/nodular with relatively well-defined margins 3. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Osteoid osteoma (2) Lets apply the good old universal differential diagnosis to sclerotic bone lesions. The epiphysis, metaphysis and diaphysis may be involved. The juxtacortical mass has a high SI and lobulated contours. In the table the most common sclerotic bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in different age-groups are presented. A Novel Classification System for Spinal Instability in Neoplastic Disease: An Evidence-Based Approach and Expert Consensus from the Spine Oncology Study Group. This feature differentiates it from a juxtacortical tumor. The X-ray features were divided into two groups according to typical and atypical skeletal lesions. 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. Radiological atlas of bone tumours of the Netherlands Committee on Bone Tumors 2 ed. 2016;207(2):362-8. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association of joint form and lesions on imaging for axSpA patients and controls. Rib metastases may be osteolytic, sclerotic, or mixed. MRI also may detect the nidus, combined with abundant bone marrow and soft tissue edema. 2021;50(5):847-69. Bone metastases have a predilection for hematopoietic marrow sites: spine, pelvis, ribs, cranium and proximal long bones: femur, humerus. 2. (white arrows). In aggressive periostitis the periosteum does not have time to consolidate.

In this chapter, we will discuss key imaging features that strongly indicate the lesion is benign and those that warn further evaluation is warranted. A periosteal reaction is a non-specific reaction and will occur whenever the periosteum is irritated by a malignant tumor, benign tumor, infection or trauma. Sclerotic bone lesions are rare; commonly affects the axial skeleton (pelvis, spine, skull, ribs) and the patients are often symptomatic as opposed to the patients with lytic lesions who rarely have any symptoms. An aggressive type is seen in malignant tumors, but also in benign lesions with aggressive behavior, such as infections and eosinophilic granuloma. Strahlenther Onkol. 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 The subchondral bone is key to cartilage and joint health. PET features high sensitivity in the detection of bone metastases especially 18 NaF-PET is suitable for the detection of sclerotic metastases since it shows tracer uptake in locations with osteoblastic activity and is more accurate than FDG-PET 3. Here a well-defined mixed sclerotic-lytic lesion of the left iliac bone. A periosteal chondroma may have the same imaging characteristics, however, these are almost always much smaller. 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. This type of periostitis is multilayered, lamellated or demonstrates bone formation perpendicular to the cortical bone. Here images of an osteosarcoma in the right femur. In the epiphysis we use the term avascular necrosis and not bone infarction. 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. Peripheral chondrosarcoma, arising from an osteochondroma (exostosis). Some prefer to divide patients into two age groups: 30 years. Sclerotic jaw lesions are not rare and are frequently encountered on radiographs and computed tomography (CT). Ossification in parosteal osteosaroma is usually more mature in the center than at the periphery. Isaac A, Dalili D, Dalili D, Weber M. State-Of-The-Art Imaging for Diagnosis of Metastatic Bone Disease. 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. In patients In patients > 30 years, and particularly > 40 years, despite benign radiographic features, a metastasis or plasmacytoma also have to be considered On the left three bone lesions with a narrow zone of transition. Despite their remarkable clinical success, the low degradation rate of these materials hampers a broader clinical use. You may have been surprised to see metastatic disease listed as a leading cause for diffuse sclerotic bones. Sclerosis is present from either tumor new bone formation or reactive sclerosis. CT imaging example of the location pattern of sclerotic bone lesions in the skull, spine, and pelvis of TSC patients and control subjects. Usually typical malignant features including permeative-motheaten pattern of destruction, irregular cortical destruction and aggressive (interrupted) periosteal reaction. In the article Bone Tumors - Differential diagnosis we discussed a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. by Clyde A. Helms Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology. ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. Infection may be well-defined or ill-defined osteolytic, and even sclerotic. Bker S, Adams L, Bender Y et al. 2016;207(2):362-8. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. In some locations, such as in the humerus or around the knee, almost all bone tumors may be found. 4 , 5 , 6. Materials and Methods 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. Symptoms include pain, abnormal sensations, loss of motor skills or coordination, or the loss of certain bodily functions. It is barely visible within the bone, but an agressive periostitis is seen (arrow). Cancers (Basel). 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. 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. 2014;71(1):39. Based on the morphology and the age of the patients, these lesions are benign. In the subchondral bone, the number of TRAP-positive cells peaked on day 14. When considering congenital causes of sclerotic lesions, benign causes such as bone islands or osteopoikilosis usually have a fairly typical appearance and are hard to mistake. A cold bone scan is helpful in distinguishing the bone island from a sclerotic metastasis, whereas a warm bone scan is nondiagnostic. Radiologe. Regarding bone disease in SM, increased sBT levels have been 493 associated with both bone sclerosis (due to unknown mechanisms) (8, 18, 19) and 494 osteoporosis (it has been hypothesized that tryptase could induce the production of 495 OPG (61)) (4, 17). Accordingly, growth of osteochondromas is allowed until a patient reaches adulthood and the physeal plates are closed.
