Distinguishing Untreated Osteoblastic Metastases From Enostoses Using CT Attenuation Measurements. They can affect any bone and be either benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). Here Melorrheostosis of the ulna with the appearance of candle wax. Here a radiograph of the pelvis with a barely visible osteoblastic metastasis in the left iliac bone (blue arrow). When considering Pagets disease, it is extremely helpful to note whether there is associated bony enlargement. CT-HU has stronger correlations with DEXA than MRI measurements. Usually typical malignant features including permeative-motheaten pattern of destruction, irregular cortical destruction and aggressive (interrupted) periosteal reaction. Differential Diagnosis of Diffuse Sclerotic Bone Lesions. Causes include trauma, infection, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, spinal degeneration, congenital malformations, and benign or cancerous tumors. Osteoblastic Metastatic Lesions. (2005) ISBN: 9780721602707 -. A sclerotic lesion is an unusual hardening or thickening of your bone. MRI of the sacrum: axial T1-weighted (T1w; Fig. Radiological hallmark: formation of a chondroid (cartilagenous) matrix, which presents as punctuated, stippled or popcorn-like calcifications. Bone metastases start with the tropism of cancer cells to the bone through different multi-step tumor-host interactions, as described by the . Finally, we conclude with a case of an incidentally presenting sclerotic vertebral body lesion. MRI features high sensitivity and high specificity for the demonstration of bone metastases in general and for assessing the bone marrow 2,3. 9. 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. You may have been surprised to see metastatic disease listed as a leading cause for diffuse sclerotic bones. Eosinophilic granuloma like osteomyelitis, can be a serious mimicker of malignancy (particularly Ewing sarcoma). 4 , 5 , 6. In fact, in areas where sickle cell disease is common, this may be the leading cause of diffuse sclerotic bones. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-8429. Paget disease is a chronic disorder of unknown origin with increased breakdown of bone and formation of disorganized new bone. Enhancement after i.v. Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. Here an illustration of the most common sclerotic bone tumors. Osteoblastic metastatic disease (see Table 33.1): More often multiple with increased uptake on bone scan. An ill-defined border with a broad zone of transition is a sign of aggressive growth (1). Central location most common with some expansion and cortical thinning. ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. You can then customize the above differential for whichever pattern of sclerosis that you see. Sclerotic bone lesions as a potential imaging biomarker for the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex Authors Susanne Brakemeier 1 , Lars Vogt 2 , Lisa C Adams 2 , Bianca Zukunft 3 , Gerd Diederichs 2 , Bernd Hamm 2 , Klemens Budde 3 , Kai-Uwe Eckardt 3 , Marcus R Makowski 2 4 Affiliations Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1993. Matching the degradation rate of the materials with neo bone formation remains a challenge for bone-repairing materials. Gadolinium is usually minimal or absent (see right image). As part of the test, a healthcare professional takes a sample of the CSF There were other features that favored the diagnosis of a low-grade chondrosarcoma like a positive bone scan and endosteal scalloping of the cortical bone on an MRI (not shown). This image is of a 20 year old patient with a sclerotic expansile lesion in the clavicle. Ulano A, Bredella M, Burke P et al. 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). Sclerotic bone lesions at abdominal magnetic resonance imaging in children with tuberous sclerosis complex. Intense uptake on bone scintigraphy as we would expect in high grade chondrosarcoma. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR image demonstrates heterogeneous enhancement of the mass with extensive surrounding edema. 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. Cancers (Basel). Distinct phenotypes are described: osteoblastic, the more common osteolytic and mixed. diffuse sclerotic metastases to the pelvis, sacrum and femurs. 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. MR usually shows a large amount of reactive changes in bone and soft tissue. Osteoid matrix in osseus tumors like osteoid osteomas and osteosarcomas. Typical bone metastases are osteolytic (87.5%), with medullary origin (91.6%), and they cannot be distinguished from other osteolytic metastases on the basis of imaging criteria alone. Metastases must be included in the differential diagnosis of any bone lesion, whether well-defined or ill-defined osteolytic or sclerotic in age > 40. This represents a thick cartilage cap. Several genes have been discovered that, when disrupted, result in specific types . brae in keeping with diffuse bone infarcts. Sclerotic Lesions of the Spine 1311. predominant hypointensity on all imaging sequences mimicking a sclerotic process due to a variety of fac- . In the active phase there is multilaminar periosteal reaction and bone and soft tissue edema. This shows that differentiating a tumor from a reactive proces scan be quite difficult in some cases. 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. (2007) ISBN:0781765188. Non-ossifying fibroma which has been filled in. Detection of a solitary sclerotic bone lesion on CT or plain radiograph often creates a diagnostic dilemma. Frequently encountered as a coincidental finding and can be found in any bone. General Considerations Increased uptake on bone scan has been reported in bone islands, especially giant ones, but warrants imaging follow-up. Mineralization in osteoid tumors can be described as a trabecular ossification pattern in benign bone-forming lesions and as a cloud-like or ill-defined amorphous pattern in osteosarcomas. Bone metastases are the most common malignancy of bone of which sclerotic bone metastases are less common than lytic bone metastases. More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. 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). Unable to process the form. Bone metastases have a predilection for hematopoietic marrow sites: spine, pelvis, ribs, cranium and proximal long bones: femur, humerus. Here are links to other articles about bone tumors: Most bone tumors are osteolytic. Brant WE, Helms CA. ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. Here a lesion in the epiphysis, which was the result of post-traumatic osteonecrosis. WSI digital slide: https://kikoxp.com/posts/4606. Teaching Point: Metastasis is the most common malignant rib lesion. 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. Symptoms include pain, abnormal sensations, loss of motor skills or coordination, or the loss of certain bodily functions. 4, Although usually stable in size, bone islands may increase or decrease in size or disappear. 105-118. Large lesions tend to expand into both areas. Disappearane of calcifications in a pre-existing enchondroma should raise the suspicion of malignant transformation. When considering trauma as a cause for sclerotic lesions, remember to check and see if the areas involved are areas in the typical distribution for stress fractures. On the left three bone lesions with a narrow zone of transition. Benign periosteal reaction Notice the numerous ill-defined osteoblastic metastases. 2 ed. Breast cancer (usually mixed lytic/sclerotic), Bone islands do not have edema in the adjacent bone marrow or extension into surrounding soft tissue or adjacent bony destruction. Here on a radiograph the typical calcifications in the chondroid matrix of an enchondroma. DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. About Us; Staff; Camps; Scuba. Our patient had lytic bone lesions in (femur) long bones and also sclerotic lesions in the pelvic which was . 8. Small area of lucency with adjacent sclerosis at the distal right medial femoral metaphysis that could relate to enthesopathic change or remodeling of a fibroxanthoma of bone.. 6. W. B. Saunders company 1995, by Mark J. Kransdorf and Donald E. Sweet Metastatic sclerotic bone lesions present in three typical patterns, focal, variegated, or diffuse based on the histological origin of the primary tumor. FD is often purely lytic, but may have a groundglass appearance as the matrix calcifies. Infection may be well-defined or ill-defined osteolytic, and even sclerotic. The contour of the involved bone is usually normal or with mild expansive remodelling. Contact Information and Hours. On CT sclerotic bone metastases typically present as hyperdense lesions, but display a lower density than bone islands 5. However, a specific density range has not been specified for those terms 1. Melorrheostosis is a dysplasia of the bone, characterized by apposition of mature bone on the outer or inner surface of cortical bone. Occasionally slowly enlargement can be seen. Ossifications or calcifications can be present in variable amounts. Fundamentals of Skeletal Radiology, second edition It is barely visible within the bone, but an agressive periostitis is seen (arrow). Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology. This is especially true when the injury involves the spine, hip, knees, or ankle. Mixed lytic/sclerotic lesion of right posterolateral 10 th rib, with extensive aggressive-appearing periostitis, as well as a multilobulated soft tissue component. The differential diagnosis mostly depends on the review of the conventional radiographs and the age of the patient. . These lesions usually regress spontaneously and may then become sclerotic. NOF, fibrous dysplasia, multifocal osteomyelitis, enchondromas, osteochondoma, leukemia and metastatic Ewing' s sarcoma. There are a number of other helpful findings you can look for that can help you to cone in on or away from specific entities in one of these differential lists. Recommendation: No specific imaging recommendation. 1991;167(9):549-52. A bone island larger than 1 cm is referred to as a giant bone island (12). Here a chondrosarcoma of the left iliac bone. 33.1a) and sagittal short tau inversion recovery (STIR; Fig. Consider progression of osteohondroma to chondrosarcoma when cartilage cap measures > 10 mm. Osteochondroma is a bony protrusion covered by a cartilaginous cap. As current recommendations for tuberous sclerosis complex surveillance include renal MR performed i The epiphysis, metaphysis and diaphysis may be involved. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Niknejad M, Bell D, Tatco V, et al. Both imaging modalities achieved only a moderate correlation with DEXA. 2. Cortical destruction (3) AJR Am J Roentgenol. Fibrous dysplasia, enchondromas, EG, Mets and myeloma, Hyperparathyroidism, Infection. Ewing sarcoma with lamellated and focally interrupted periosteal reaction. This is a routine medical imaging report. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. Causes: corticosteroid use, sickle cell disease, trauma, Gaucher's disease, renal transplantation. Usually new bone is added to one side of the cortex only. Particularly chronic osteomyelitis may have a sclerotic appearance. Differentiating a bone infarct from an enchondroma or low-grade chondrosarcoma on plain films can be difficult or even impossible. Therefore, knowing the homogeneously sclerotic bone lesions can be useful, such as enostosis (bone island) (), osteoma (), and callus or bone graft.The plain radiography and CT images of enostosis consist of a circular or oblong area of dense bone with an irregular and speculated margin, which have been . Mirels H. Metastatic Disease in Long Bones: A Proposed Scoring System for Diagnosing Impending Pathologic Fractures. Focal sclerotic bony lesions (mnemonic). Osteomyelitis is a mimicker of various benign and malignant bone tumors and reactive processes that may be accompanied by reactive sclerosis. Bone scan shows no high activity, opposed to low-grade intraosseous osteosarcoma. A lumbar puncture (LP) is a diagnostic procedure used to obtain a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to look for signs of infection or inflammation. When considering hyperparathyroidism, look for evidence of subperiosteal bone resorption. Mixed lytic and sclerotic bone metastases are characterized by the presence of both components, that is areas of bone destruction and areas of increased bone formation within one metastatic tumor deposit or one primary tumor that features both kinds of bone metastases, namely osteolytic and osteoblastic metastases 1. 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. Clinically relevant bone metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for prostate cancer patients. Ali Mohammed Hammamy R, Farooqui K, Ghadban W. Sclerotic Bone Metastasis in Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma. Skeletal Radiol. Radiographs are specific but suffer from low sensitivity 1. 2022;51(9):1743-64. If there are multiple or polyostotic lesions, the differential diagnosis must be adjusted. Osteopetrosis and pyknodysostosis are likewise hard to mistake for other entities since the bones are denser than in any other disorder, and the long bones tend to have very tiny medullary canals. Spine (Phila Pa 1976). A cold bone scan is helpful in distinguishing the bone island from a sclerotic metastasis, whereas a warm bone scan is nondiagnostic. Hereditary sclerosing bone dysplasias result from some disturbance in the pathways involved in osteoblast or osteoclast regulation, leading to abnormal accumulation of bone. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. 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. 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. Parosteal osteosarcoma is a sarcoma that has it's origin on the surface of the bone. These lesions are not osteochondromas, but consist of reactive cartilage metaplasia. Notice the homogeneous thickening of the cortical bone. Case 2: sclerotic metastases from prostate cancer, Generalised increased bone density (mnemonic). Generic Differential Diagnosis of Sclerotic Bone Lesions. Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. Giant cell bone tumors are usually benign (not cancerous) but the malignant form can affect the legs, especially near the knees. Other benign lesions, like solitary bone cyst, fibrous dysplasia, chondroblastoma and other benign bone tumors may become inert and may also become sclerotic. These are inert filled-in non-ossifying fibromas. Accordingly, growth of osteochondromas is allowed until a patient reaches adulthood and the physeal plates are closed. O'Sullivan G, Carty F, Cronin C. Imaging of Bone Metastasis: An Update. 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). Radiology. 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. Imaging is often helpful in determining a diagnosis, and it can sometimes make a particular diagnosis nearly certain. This proved to be a reactive calcification secondary to trauma. Generally, this just follows common sense some lesions should logically be expected to be focal, others multifocal, and yet others diffuse or systemic. 2021;216(4):1022-30. 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. Cancers (Basel). 2010;35(22):E1221-9. 2016;207(2):362-8. Continue with the MR-images. 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. 2016;207(2):362-8. 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. SWI:low signal intensity on the inverted magnitude and phase images 9. Coronal MR image demonstrates subtle low intensity line representing the fracture. Office Phone: (517) 205-6750. Results: In 24 patients, 52 new sclerotic lesions observed during therapy were selected for re-evaluation of conventional radiographs and bone scans. 1, The classic bone island has a spiculated or paintbrush border and is much denser on CT than a osteoblastic metastasis. 2018;2018:1-5. Fibrous dysplasia and eosinophilic granuloma more commonly present as osteolytic lesions, but they can be sclerotic. Here two other lesions in different patients that proved to be chondrosarcoma. See article: bone metastases. 2018;10(6):156. Lets apply the good old universal differential diagnosis to sclerotic bone lesions. Well, generally, it means that it is due to a fairly slow-growing process. (see diagnostic imaging pearls). 12. 2017;11(1):321. It grows primarily into the surrounding soft tissues, but may also infiltrate into the bone marrow. Osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma are the most common types of bone cancer. Donald Resnick, Mark J. Kransdorf. Sclerotic bone metastases can arise from several different primary malignancies including 1-3: mucinous adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. Therefore, MRI and bone scan were performed. <-Lucent Lesions of Bone | Periosteal Reaction->. The images show on the left a typical osteolytic NOF with a sharp sclerotic border. When a reactive process is more likely based on history and imaging features, follow-up is sometimes still needed. 2. The differential diagnosis mostly depends on the age of the patient and the findings on the conventional radiographs. 6.

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. Some prefer to divide patients into two age groups: 30 years. If the patient had fever and a proper clinical setting, osteomyelitis would be in the differential diagnosis. 33.1b), CT scan axial images (c), and bone scintigraphy (d).

Mark Blumenkehl, MD is a specialist in Gastroenterology whose practice locations include: Detroit, Sterling Hgts Here an image of a patient with chronic osteomyelitis. found incidentally on the imaging studies. Sclerotic bone metastases. Calcifications in chondroid tumors have many descriptions: rings-and-arcs, popcorn, focal stippled or flocculent. The bone marrow compartment is not involved which is important for the surgical strategy. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy of plasma cells that causes bone-destructive lesions and associated skeletal-related events (SREs). 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 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. FIGURE 2.7 Computed tomography of osteoid osteoma. CT scan is usually very helpful in detecting the nidus and differentiating osteoid osteoma from other sclerotic lesions like osteoblastoma, osteomyelitis, arthritis, stress fracture and enostosis. Macedo F, Ladeira K, Pinho F et al. 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.
