Patterns of Bone Destruction
1. Geographic
2. Moth-eaten
3. Permeative
Geographic Bone Destruction
Destructive lesion with sharply defined borderImplies a less-aggressive, more slow-growing, benign processNarrow transition zone
Examples:
1. Non-ossifying fibroma
2. Eosinophilic granuloma
NON OSSIFYING FIBROMA
30 to 40% children over two years have one or more lesions.Most common between 8-20 years of ageUsually occur in metaphysis of one (75%) or more (25%) of the tubular bonesMost lesions heal spontaneously by being replaced with normal bone.May undergo pathologic fracture.Do not undergo malignant transformation
NON OSSIFYING FIBROMA - X-ray characteristics:
* Geographic* Lytic* Multilobulated* Metaphyseal* Usually intramedullary* Eccentric* Well-marginated* Sclerotic rim* Endosteal scalloping

Non-ossifying fibroma of tibia Eosinophilic Granuloma
Solitary, non-neoplastic proliferation of histiocytes.Part of a spectrum of Langerhan's cell histiocytosis, formerly known as histiocytosis X.Localized lesion in bone or lung and occurs most commonly in children aged 5 to 10.EG is found in the diaphysis or metaphysis of long bones in the center of the medullary cavity.The radiologic differential includes Ewing's sarcoma, osteosarcoma, metastases and osteomyelitis.
Eosinophilic granuloma of femurMoth-eaten Appearance
Areas of destruction with ragged bordersImplies more rapid growth - High probability of malignancyExample:1. Myeloma2. Metastases3. Lymphoma4. Ewing's sarcoma
Multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a malignant tumor of plasma cells that causes widespread osteolytic bone damage.The average patient age is over 50 years old and men are affected twice as often as women.Characterized by irregular lytic defects of different sizes.These lytic areas are often described as "punched out" and have no periosteal reaction.Erosion begins intramedullarly and progresses through the cortex.
Multiple myeloma of humerus with pathological fracturePermeative Lesion
Ill-defined lesion with multiple "worm-holes"Spreads through marrow spaceWide transition zoneImplies an aggressive malignancy -Round-cell lesionsExamples:1. Lymphoma2. Leukemia3. Ewing's Sarcoma4. Myeloma5. Neuroblastoma6. Osteomyelitis
2. Clues By Location Of Lesion
1. In the transverse plane:
a) Central - Enchondroma
b) Eccentric -GCT, osteosarcoma, chondromyxoid fibroma
c) Cortical - Non-ossifying fibroma, osteoid osteoma
d) Parosteal - Parosteal osteosarcoma, osteochondroma
2. In the longitudinal plane:
a) Epiphyseal - GCT, chondroblastoma
b) Metaphyseal - Osteomyelitis, osteosarcoma
c) Diaphyseal - Round cell lesions, ABC, enchondroma
Osteoid osteoma
Osteoid Osteoma is a benign bone lesion with a nidus of less than 2 cm surrounded by a zone of reactive bone.Osteoid osteoma has a distinct clinical picture of dull pain that is worse at night and disappears within 20 to 30 minutes of treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.4 diagnostic features include
(1) a sharp round or oval lesion
(2) less than 2 cm in diameter,
(3) has a homogeneous dense center
(4) a 1-2 mm peripheral radiolucent zone.
Osteoid osteoma of transverse process of vertebra
Osteoid osteoma of fibulaCharacteristic Location
Simple bone cyst - Proximal humerus
Chondroblastoma - Epiphyses
Giant Cell tumor - Epiphyses
Adamantinoma - Tibia
Chordoma -Sacrum
Osteoblastoma - Posterior element of spine
Parosteal osteosarcoma - Distal femur
Periosteal osteosarcoma - Tibia
Chondrosarcoma - Pelvis
SIMPLE BONE CYST
Solitary cystic lesion over the proximal humerus.Multiple septations.Thinned out cortex.Sclerotic border with narrow zone of transition signifies a benign process.Note: abscence of periosteal reaction differentiates it from aneurysmal bone cyst. (Find out more in my lens on lytic bone lesion).

Giant cell tumour of distal radius
ADAMANTINOMA - TIBIA
Adamantinoma is a locally aggressive osteolytic tumor that is found 90% of the time in the diaphysis of the tibia with the remaining lesions found in the fibula and long tubular bones.Adamantinoma appears as an eccentric, well-circumscribed, and lytic lesion on plain x-ray.The lesion usually has several lytic defects separated by sclerotic bone.There is cortical thinning but little periosteal reaction.
3. Clues By Type Of Periosteal Reaction
Benign - None or Solid periosteal reactionMore aggressive or malignant1. Lamellated or onion-skinning2. Sunburst3. Codman's triangle(More explanation in my lens on Periosteal Reaction)
4. Clues By Matrix Of Lesion
1. Ossification (Osteoblastic process) - Well organized ossified mass with fluffy, cotton-like or cloud-like densities. Eg. Osteosarcoma.2. Calcification (Cartilaginous process)- Unorganized calcified matrix which is comma-shaped, punctate, annular or popcorn-like. Eg. Enchondroma, Chondrosarcoma, Chondromyxoid fibroma.
OSTEOSARCOMA
Well organized mass signifying osteoblastic process.Sunburst periosteal reaction and soft tissue mass signifies an aggressive and rapidly growing tumour.
Osteosarcoma of distal femurCHONDROSARCOMA
Calcified matrix (unorganized) signifies cartilaginous tumour.The wide zone of transition and cortical break without periosteal reaction signifies a rapidly growing and aggressive type of tumour
Calcified matrix (unorganized) signifies cartilaginous tumour.The wide zone of transition and cortical break without periosteal reaction signifies a rapidly growing and aggressive type of tumour
Chondrosarcoma of left ilium. Note the extensive calcification. 5. Clues By Density Of Lesion
1. Sclerotic Cortical lesions- Osteoid osteoma- Brodie's abscess- Stress fracture
2. Lytic lesions in children- Eosinophilic granuloma- Neuroblastoma- Leukemia
3. Lytic lesions in adult- Metastatic lesions (Lung, Kidney, Thyroid)- Multiple myeloma- Primary bone tumor
4. Blastic lesion in children- Medulloblastoma- Lymphoma
Now that is one good material which can also be good for radiology continuing education programs. it is a great way to educate or update radiologists out there.
ReplyDeleteFor true fans of this thread I will address is a free online! infections
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lupus,Lymne Disease,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

Yes he is! I thank him so much so i will advise if you are suffering from one of those diseases Pls do contact him he's a nice man.
Hiv disease for the last 3 years and had pain hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com . We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,
