A chondro-osseous tumour (osteosarcoma). H&E stain.

Chondro-osseous tumours occasionally cross the desk of the pathologist. They are grouped together as bone may develop from cartilage.

Primary bone tumours are rare; the most common bone tumour is metastases.[1]

Bone tumours occasionally are lumped with soft tissue tumours. Soft tissue tumours are dealt with in the soft tissue lesions article. An introduction to bone is found in the bone article. An introduction to cartilage is found in the cartilage article.

General

  • Diagnosis of a primary bone tumour should not be made without radiologic & clinical information!
  • Metastasis:primary bone tumours = >20:1.[1]

Common malignant

Epidemiology:[2]

  • Osteosarcoma -> 2nd decade.
  • Ewing's ->5-20 yrs.
  • Chondrosarcoma -> from enchondroma or osteochrondroma -- patients over 40 yrs.
  • Multiple myeloma -> most common primary bone tumour in adults.

Malignant bone tumours by age

Most common by age:[2]

Benign aggressive bone tumours

Aneurysmal bone cyst common most common rare bone
Chondroblastoma most common rare extremely rare cartilage
Chondrosarcoma uncommon common most common cartilage
Chondromyxoid fibroma rare most common common other
Enchondroma rare common common cartilage
Ewing sarcoma rare common most common bone
Giant cell tumour most common rare extremely rare bone
Metastatic carcinoma rare common most common other
Non-ossifying fibroma extremely rare most common common other
Osteoblastoma rare most common uncommon bone
Osteochondroma extremely rare[citation needed] most common common bone/cartilage
Osteoid osteoma uncommon common common[6] bone
Osteosarcoma rare most common uncommon bone

How to remember the primary bone lesions:

  1. Ewing sarcoma is the only malignant primary bone tumour of the diaphysis.
  2. Giant cell tumour of bone is the only primary bone lesion of the epiphysis.
  3. The rest of the primary bone lesions are metaphyseal.
    • Osteochondroma is bone first and cartilage second. It behaves like most primary bone lesions; it is usually metaphyseal.

How to remember the primary cartilaginous lesions:

  1. Chondroblastoma is epiphyseal. The chicken wire goes around the chicken coop.
  2. The others are diaphyseal.

Notochordal tumors

Notochordal tumors arise from notochordal remnants and thus are seen in the clivus or sacrum.

Main article: Chordoma

Osteochondroma

Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour

  • AKA tenosynovial giant-cell tumour, diffuse type.
  • Previously known as pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS).[7]

Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath

  • Abbreviated GCT of tendon sheath.

Brown tumour

General

  • Not a true neoplasm.[8]
    • If tumour is understood as a synonym for neoplasm, the name is a misnomer.
    • May (clinically) mimic a true neoplasm.
  • Due to hyperparathyroidism - usually parathyroid adenoma.
    • Usually secondary to chronic renal failure.

Hypercalcemia DDx

Mnemonic GRIMED:[9]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Fibrosis.
  • +/-Giant cells with round to oval nuclei and nucleoli.[10]
  • Bone unaffected by tumour - increased numbers of the following:
    • Multinucleated cells (osteoclasts).
    • Mononuclear cells around the bony trabeculae (osteoblasts).
