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. by Mulder JD et al Fibrous dysplasia and eosinophilic granuloma more commonly present as osteolytic lesions, but they can be sclerotic. Osteoblastic metastases have a lower fracture risk than lytic or mixed bone metastases 11-13. post-treatment appearance of any lytic bone metastasis. Subungual exostoses are bony projections which arise from the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx, most commonly of the hallux. ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. Differential diagnosis based on the periosteal reaction and the extensive edema: Here a patient with a juxtacortical sclerotic mass of the proximal humerus (left). The zone of transition is the most reliable indicator in determining whether an osteolytic lesion is benign or malignant (1). 1 When the vertebral lesion has no benign features, especially in the older adult patient, metastatic disease is always a significant consideration. In this paper, we review the recent years of literature on deep learning-based multiple-lesion recognition. Notice the numerous ill-defined osteoblastic metastases. 2022;51(9):1743-64. The differential diagnosis mostly depends on the review of the conventional radiographs and the age of the patient. One study, using a mean attenuation of 885 HU and a maximum attenuation of 1,060 HU as cut-off values, distinguished the higher density bone islands from lower density osteoblastic metastases with 95% sensitivity and 96% specificity. Distinction of Long Bone Stress Fractures from Pathologic Fractures on Cross-Sectional Imaging: How Successful Are We? Here CT-images of a patient with prostate cancer. Well, generally, it means that it is due to a fairly slow-growing process. Journal of Bone Oncology. Intense uptake on bone scintigraphy as we would expect in high grade chondrosarcoma. Semin. This is especially true when the injury involves the spine, hip, knees, or ankle. 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. MR usually shows a large amount of reactive changes in bone and soft tissue. MRI also may detect the nidus, combined with abundant bone marrow and soft tissue edema. Classic ground glass appearance of the bone. A popular mnemonic to help remember causes of focal sclerotic bony lesions is: Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. Osteosarcoma (2) Clin Orthop Relat Res. There are two patterns of periosteal reaction: a benign and an aggressive type. The most common appearance is the mixed lytic-sclerotic. 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. Rib lesions detected on bone scintigraphy often require further characterization with radiography or CT to improve specificity (Figs. In this chapter, we will discuss key imaging features that strongly indicate the lesion is benign and those that warn further evaluation is warranted. (white arrows). 7A, and 7B ). Here some typical examples of bone tumors in the spine. In this article we will discuss a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. Plain radiograph in another patient shows irreglar mineralized lesion with elevation of the periosteum and cortical involvement. Solitary sclerotic bone lesion. Here a rather wel-defined eccentric lesion which is predominantly sclerotic. Click here for more examples of eosinophilic granuloma. Resonance Imaging Saeed M. Bafaraj . This is consistent with the diagnosis of a reactive process like myositis ossificans. Bone reacts to its environment in two ways either by removing some of itself or by creating more of itself. Non-ossifying fibroma which has been filled in. Our patient had lytic bone lesions in (femur) long bones and also sclerotic lesions in the pelvic which was . {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Gaillard F, Knipe H, Weerakkody Y, et al. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Niknejad M, Bell D, Tatco V, et al. In the table the most common sclerotic bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in different age-groups are presented. These tumors may be accompanied by a large soft tissue mass while there is almost no visible bone destruction. The evaluation of a solitary bony lesion in the spine may be more challenging and will often require additional diagnostic testing if benign imaging features are not present on MRI. The role of imaging in SN lymphomas is to identify the primary site of disease, site for biopsy and to map the lesion in its entirety in cases of patients undergoing radiotherapy [ 15, 21 ]. Typically presents as a lytic lesion in a flat bone, vertebra or diaphysis of long bone. Case Report Med. This benign reactive process is most commonly found adjacent to the cortex of phalanges of hands or feet (75%). Radiographs are specific but suffer from low sensitivity 1. Infection with a multilayered periosteal reaction. Here an incidental finding of several eccentric sclerotic lesions of the distal femur. Based on the morphology and the age of the patients, these lesions are benign. Location within the skeleton Usually stress fractures are easy to recognize. 2021;216(4):1022-30. Polyostotic lesions > 30 years 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. Osteoblastic Metastatic Lesions. Here a patient with a mineralized mass in the soft tissues. Density measurements on CT scan revealed greater than 1,000 HU throughout the lesion. Benign periosteal reaction Less common: Fibrous dysplasia, Brown tumors of hyperparathyroidism, bone infarcts. growth of osteohondroma in skeletally mature patients, irregular or indistinct surface of lesions, soft tissue mass with scattered or irregular calcifications. Guidelines for the Diagnostic Management of Incidental Solitary Bone Lesions on CT and MRI in Adults: Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS). Amsterdam: Elsevier; 1993. Acute osteomyelitis is characterised by osteolysis. Sclerosis can also be reactive, e.g. The differential for multifocal lesions happens to be identical to that for focal lesions. (2007) ISBN:0781765188. 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. Lumbar CT-HU has the highest pooled correlation (r 2 =0.6) with both spine DEXA and lowest skeletal t-score followed by lumbar CT-HU with hip DEXA (r 2 =0.5) and lumbar MRI with hip (r 2 =0.44) and spine (r 2 =0.41) DEXA. A brain MRI can . O'Sullivan G, Carty F, Cronin C. Imaging of Bone Metastasis: An Update. In the epiphysis we use the term avascular necrosis and not bone infarction. Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology. 1988;17(2):101-5. If the disorder it is reacting to is rapidly progressive, there may only be time for retreat (defense). In some cases however the osteolytic nidus can be visible on the radiograph (figure). Osteoblastic bone metastases are characterized by increased bone formation 2. Eosinophilic Granuloma and infections should be mentioned in the differential diagnosis of almost any bone lesion in patients < 20 years. Osteoma consists of densely compact bone. ( A1,A2) Transversal CT of the skull of a TSC patient and . 7. Mild mass effect on adjacent lung, diaphragm, and liver. Fibro-osseous lesion like fibrous dysplasia. Kimura T. Multidisciplinary Approach for Bone Metastasis: A Review. 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. In patients > 30 years, and particularly > 40 years, despite benign radiographic features, a metastasis or plasmacytoma also have to be considered Home. Here an example of a patient with a stress fracture of the distal fibula. BackgroundCongenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare disease. Here images of a patient with breast cancer. Most primary bone tumors are seen in patients In patients > 30 years we must always include metastases and myeloma in the differential diagnosis. Incidentally discovered, benign lesions also called enostoses, which are islands of cortical bone located in the cancellous bone. Etiology Ahuja S & Ernst H. Osteoblastic Bone Metastases in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. What does it mean that a lesion is sclerotic? 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. Subchondral bone attrition is the flattening or depression of the bone surface that forms part of a joint. 2019;15:100205. 3. Matching the degradation rate of the materials with neo bone formation remains a challenge for bone-repairing materials. Here an illustration of the most common sclerotic bone tumors. Here two other lesions in different patients that proved to be chondrosarcoma. This could be an osteoblastic metastasis or an osteolytic metastasis that responded to chemotherapy. Small osteolytic lesion (up to 1.5 cm) with or without central calcification. AJR 2005; 185:915-924. Complete envelopment may occur. It is barely visible within the bone, but an agressive periostitis is seen (arrow). In the group of malignant small round cell tumors which include Ewing's sarcoma, bone lymphoma and small cell osteosarcoma, the cortex may appear almost normal radiographically, while there is permeative growth throughout the Haversian channels. Gulati V, Chalian M, Yi J, Thakur U, Chhabra A. Sclerotic Bone Lesions Caused by Non-Infectious and Non-Neoplastic Diseases: A Review of the Imaging and Clinicopathologic Findings. Occasionally slowly enlargement can be seen. 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. Sclerotic means that the lesions are slow-growing changes to your bone that happen very gradually over time. In aggressive periostitis the periosteum does not have time to consolidate. Bone reacts to its environment in two ways either by removing some of itself or by creating more of itself. AJR 2000; 175:261-263. The contour of the involved bone is usually normal or with mild expansive remodelling. Sclerosing bone dysplasias are skeletal abnormalities of varying severity with a wide range of radiologic, clinical, and genetic features. Despite their remarkable clinical success, the low degradation rate of these materials hampers a broader clinical use. The bone marrow compartment is not involved which is important for the surgical strategy. Osteoid matrix 7, Behrang Amini, Susana Calle, Octavio Arevalo, Richard M. Westmark, and Kaye D.

Here a chondrosarcoma of the left iliac bone. Parosteal osteosarcoma is a sarcoma that has it's origin on the surface of the bone. 2. As part of the test, a healthcare professional takes a sample of the CSF Here images of an osteosarcoma in the right femur. 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. The homogeneous pattern is relatively uncommon compared to the heterogeneous pattern. Both of these entities may have an aggressive growth pattern. Sclerotic bone metastases typically present as radiodense bone lesions that are round/nodular with relatively well-defined margins 3 . Frequently encountered as a coincidental finding and can be found in any bone. 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. The lesson here is that when we are dealing with a very common disorder, even its less common presentations will be seen commonly. DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. This feature differentiates it from a juxtacortical tumor. 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. Detecting a benign periosteal reaction may be very helpful, since malignant lesions never cause a benign periosteal reaction. 4. Check for errors and try again. The subchondral bone is key to cartilage and joint health. Interventional Radiology). {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Knipe H, Yap J, Masters M, et al. ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. AJR Am J Roentgenol. None of the patients had undergone prior treatment for the metastases. Metastatic sclerotic bone lesions present in three typical patterns, focal, variegated, or diffuse based on the histological origin of the primary tumor. Wayne State University, Orthopaedic Surgery, MI, 2007 University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Surgery, TX, 2002 Bone metastases start with the tropism of cancer cells to the bone through different multi-step tumor-host interactions, as described by the . FIGURE 2.7 Computed tomography of osteoid osteoma. World J Radiol. Sclerotic bone metastases typically present as radiodense bone lesions that are round/nodular with relatively well-defined margins 3. Ali Mohammed Hammamy R, Farooqui K, Ghadban W. Sclerotic Bone Metastasis in Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma. The use of PET/CT imaging with new radiotracers enables a non-invasive assessment of the presence of the target of treatment in the whole body and provides the possibility to combine functional information with anatomical details. Increased uptake on bone scan has been reported in bone islands, especially giant ones, but warrants imaging follow-up. Fibrous dysplasia, Enchondroma, NOF and SBC are common bone lesions.They will not present with a periosteal reaction unless there is a fracture.If no fracture is present, these bone tumors can be excluded. Unable to process the form. A benign type of periosteal reaction is a thick, wavy and uniform callus formation resulting from chronic irritation. Differential diagnosis The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. Usually one bone is involved. . The cause of sclerotic lesions was assessed histologically or by clinical and imaging follow-up. Patients with sclerotic lesions due to metastasis often have a history of prior malignant disease. Multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas are seen in Maffucci's syndrome. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-8429. Here a patient with a broad-based osteochondroma with extension of the cortical bone into the stalk of the lesion. Notice that in all three patients, the growth plates have not yet closed. Here a partially calcified mass against the proximal humerus with involvement of the cortical bone on an axial CT image. Ulano A, Bredella M, Burke P et al. Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. 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. It is most commonly located in the outer table of the neurocranium or in a paranasal sinus. However, cancers that metastasize to bone are very common. 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. Many sclerotic lesions in patients > 20 years are healed, previously osteolytic lesions which have ossified, such as: NOF, EG, SBC, ABC and chondroblastoma. Bone cyst is one of the manifestations of CGL with AGPAT2 mutation. (see diagnostic imaging pearls). Recommendation: No specific imaging recommendation. Notice the lytic peripheral part with subtle calcifications. A periosteal reaction with or without layering may be present. These lesions were possibly misinterpreted as new when applying WHO criteria. Results: In 24 patients, 52 new sclerotic lesions observed during therapy were selected for re-evaluation of conventional radiographs and bone scans. Radiographically, GCTs are eccentrically located radiolucent lesions with well-defined lytic 1B margins and geographic bone destruction. The homogeneous enhancement in the upper part with edema and cortical thickening are not typical for a low-grade chondrosarcoma. Here a radiograph of the pelvis with a barely visible osteoblastic metastasis in the left iliac bone (blue arrow). Osteomyelitis is a mimicker of various benign and malignant bone tumors and reactive processes that may be accompanied by reactive sclerosis. A Novel Classification System for Spinal Instability in Neoplastic Disease: An Evidence-Based Approach and Expert Consensus from the Spine Oncology Study Group. 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 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. The lesion is predominantly calcified. Diffuse skeletal infarcts can be a common cause of diffuse skeletal sclerosis. In most cases of osteoid osteoma the radiographic appearance is determined by the reactive sclerosis. Mass displaces and involves both the right 10 th intercostal artery, as well as more superior right 9 th intercostal artery. Differentiating between a diaphyseal and a metaphyseal location is not always possible. Uncommonly it can be difficult to differentiate a stress fracture from a bone tumor like an osteoid osteoma or from a pathologic fracture, that occurs at the site of a bone tumor. Hyperdense oval-shaped lesions with spiculated or paintbrush margins, without distortion of the adjacent bony trabeculae. We provide care in several areas of orthopedics, such as: hand and wrist care, foot and ankle care, and joint replacement. 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.
