2021;13(22):5711. These lesions usually regress spontaneously and may then become sclerotic. 2003;415(415 Suppl):S4-13. 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. Bone reacts to its environment in two ways either by removing some of itself or by creating more of itself. None of the patients had undergone prior treatment for the metastases. CT Consider peripheral chondrosaroma in growing osteochondromas with or without pain after closure of the physeal plate. In this article we will discuss the differential diagnosis of sclerotic bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in more detail. If the disorder it is reacting to is rapidly progressive, there may only be time for retreat (defense). Finally other clues need to be considered, such as a lesion's localization within the skeleton and within the bone, any periosteal reaction, cortical destruction, matrix calcifications, etc. O'Sullivan G, Carty F, Cronin C. Imaging of Bone Metastasis: An Update. 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. Amorphous mineralisation is present in most lesions. Semin. 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 As you can see, by just dropping the items that tend to cause generalized sclerosis, we have generated a fairly good differential for focal lesions. In juxta-articular localisation, the reactive sclerosis may be absent. 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. Diffuse skeletal infarcts can be a common cause of diffuse skeletal sclerosis. Most commonly encountered bone tumor in the small bones of the hand and foot. SWI:low signal intensity on the inverted magnitude and phase images 9. In some locations, such as in the humerus or around the knee, almost all bone tumors may be found. Check for errors and try again. Macedo F, Ladeira K, Pinho F et al. Polyostotic lesions > 30 years 7. In general, they're slow-growing.. The image on the right is of a different patient who has an old NOF that shows complete fill in. However, cancers that metastasize to bone are very common. 6. 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 Hereditary sclerosing bone dysplasias result from some disturbance in the pathways involved in osteoblast or osteoclast regulation, leading to abnormal accumulation of bone. 1988;17(2):101-5. Usually new bone is added to one side of the cortex only. some benign entities in this region may mimic malignancy if analyzed using classical bone-tumor criteria, and proper patient management requires being familiar with these presentations. 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. Halo of increased signal on T2 W images about the low signal central lesion is suggestive of metastatic disease. Notice the numerous predominantly osteoblastic metastases. CT-HU has stronger correlations with DEXA than MRI measurements. Matching the degradation rate of the materials with neo bone formation remains a challenge for bone-repairing materials. 3, Increased uptake on bone scan associated with a solitary sclerotic lesion is atypical and therefore more worrisome, but largely unhelpful as there are many reports of bone islands having increased Tc-99 m hydroxydiphosphonate (HDP) uptake. Sclerosis can also be reactive, e.g. Typically a NOF presents as an eccentric well-defined lytic lesion, usually found as a coincidental finding. 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). Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. Usually one bone is involved. It is nost commonly located on the posterior side of the distal meta-diaphysis of the femur. Sclerotic bone lesions at abdominal magnetic resonance imaging in children with tuberous sclerosis complex. Centrally there is an ill-defined osteolytic area. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy of plasma cells that causes bone-destructive lesions and associated skeletal-related events (SREs). We provide care in several areas of orthopedics, such as: hand and wrist care, foot and ankle care, and joint replacement. This benign reactive process is most commonly found adjacent to the cortex of phalanges of hands or feet (75%). {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Knipe H, Yap J, Masters M, et al. 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. AJR Am J Roentgenol. AJR Am J Roentgenol. Small osteolytic lesion (up to 1.5 cm) with or without central calcification. Osteoid matrix This is especially true when the injury involves the spine, hip, knees, or ankle. Ewing sarcoma with lamellated and focally interrupted periosteal reaction. Click here for more examples of enchondromas. Notice that in all three patients, the growth plates have not yet closed. 11. 1. Moreover, questions such as the . Diagnostic brain imaging tests can assess bone fractures, structural problems, blood vessel abnormalities, and changes in brain metabolism. Scuba Certification; Private Scuba Lessons; Scuba Refresher for Certified Divers; Try Scuba Diving; Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) There is reactive sclerosis with a nidus that is barely visible on the radiograph (blue arrow), but clearly visible on the CT (red arrows). A sclerotic border especially indicates poor biological activity. 2019;15:100205. Rib lesions detected on bone scintigraphy often require further characterization with radiography or CT to improve specificity (Figs. Parosteal osteosarcoma is a sarcoma that has it's origin on the surface of the bone. Patients with sclerotic lesions due to metastasis often have a history of prior malignant disease. The epiphysis, metaphysis and diaphysis may be involved. Cancers (Basel). Henry Ford Hospital, Neuro Surgery, MI, 1999 Universitat Dusseldorf, Neuro Surgery, 1990 Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, Neuro Surgery, 1983 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. Mirels H. Metastatic Disease in Long Bones: A Proposed Scoring System for Diagnosing Impending Pathologic Fractures. NOF, fibrous dysplasia, multifocal osteomyelitis, enchondromas, osteochondoma, leukemia and metastatic Ewing' s sarcoma. Here a partially calcified mass against the proximal humerus with involvement of the cortical bone on an axial CT image. CT of Sclerotic Bone Lesions: Imaging Features Differentiating Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis from Sporadic Lymphangioleiomymatosis1. Check for errors and try again. Here an illustration of the most common sclerotic bone tumors. Society of Skeletal Radiology- White Paper. (white arrows). It is barely visible within the bone, but an agressive periostitis is seen (arrow). 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. As part of the test, a healthcare professional takes a sample of the CSF Donald Resnick, Mark J. Kransdorf. Stress fractures occur in normal (fatigue fractures) or metabolically weakened (insufficiency fractures) bones. Endosteal scalloping of the cortical bone can be seen in benign lesions like Fybrous dysplasia and low-grade chondrosarcoma. Etiology Most of the time, sclerotic lesions are benign. Click here for more examples of chondroblastoma. Fundamentals of Skeletal Radiology, second edition 5 Biopsy should be considered in atypical cases or in high-risk patients with primary malignancies associated with osteoblastic metastatic disease. 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). 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. When considering hyperparathyroidism, look for evidence of subperiosteal bone resorption. DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. The illustration on the left shows the preferred locations of the most common bone tumors. Radiological hallmark: formation of a chondroid (cartilagenous) matrix, which presents as punctuated, stippled or popcorn-like calcifications. Skeletal Radiol. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. Click here for more information about bone island. The images show on the left a typical osteolytic NOF with a sharp sclerotic border. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-8429. 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. Ulano A, Bredella M, Burke P et al. These lesions were possibly misinterpreted as new when applying WHO criteria. 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. 2020;60(Suppl 1):1-16. Notice the numerous ill-defined osteoblastic metastases. 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 Many sclerotic lesions in patients > 20 years are healed, previously osteolytic lesions which have ossified, such as: NOF, EG, SBC, ABC and chondroblastoma. Metastases must be included in the differential diagnosis of any bone lesion, whether well-defined or ill-defined osteolytic or sclerotic in age > 40. 2. 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). 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.. The differential for multifocal lesions happens to be identical to that for focal lesions. . Differential diagnosis based on the periosteal reaction and the extensive edema: Here a patient with a juxtacortical sclerotic mass of the proximal humerus (left). Most primary bone tumors are seen in patients In patients > 30 years we must always include metastases and myeloma in the differential diagnosis. Causes include trauma, infection, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, spinal degeneration, congenital malformations, and benign or cancerous tumors. Journal of Bone Oncology.

More uniform cortical bone destruction can be found in benign and low-grade malignant lesions. Distinction of Long Bone Stress Fractures from Pathologic Fractures on Cross-Sectional Imaging: How Successful Are We? Guidelines for the Diagnostic Management of Incidental Solitary Bone Lesions on CT and MRI in Adults: Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS). Cortical destruction (3) Typical presentation: central lesion in metaphysis or diaphysis with a well defined serpentiginous border. Tumor Pathology- Bone Lesion Bone Tumor Osteomyelitis When you identify a bone lesion, follow this basic checklist to help you accurately describe the lesion and narrow your differential diagnosis: Bone Tumors and Tumorlike Conditions: Analysis with Conventional Radiography Theodore T. Miller Radiology 2008 246:3, 662-674 2021;216(4):1022-30. More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Niknejad M, Bell D, Tatco V, et al. The cortical bone and bone marrow compartment are not involved. Some prefer to divide patients into two age groups: 30 years. A sclerotic lesion is an unusual hardening or thickening of your bone. The sagittal T1WI and Gd-enhanced T1W-image with fatsat show a large tumor mass infiltrating a large portion of the distal femur and extending through the cortex into the soft tissues. A juxtacortical chondrosarcoma has be considered in the differential diagnosis when a mineralized lesion adjacent to the cortical bone is seen. 1. If you can find evidence of subchondral collapse or the typical lucent/sclerotic appearance of the necrotic bone in the weight-bearing bone, then osteonecrosis becomes a much more likely diagnosis. Here a chondrosarcoma of the left iliac bone. Detection of a solitary sclerotic bone lesion on CT or plain radiograph often creates a diagnostic dilemma. Malignant transformation If there are multiple or polyostotic lesions, the differential diagnosis must be adjusted. Sclerotic bone metastases typically present as radiodense bone lesions that are round/nodular with relatively well-defined margins 3 . Osteoid osteoma (2) However, these lesions are often underreported, mainly because the subject is not well known to general radiologists who struggle with the imaging approach and disease entities. MRI features high sensitivity and high specificity for the demonstration of bone metastases in general and for assessing the bone marrow 2,3. (see diagnostic imaging pearls). Starting on day 28, sclerotic changes surrounding the bone absorption area were detected. Focal sclerotic bony lesions (mnemonic). Detection of a solitary sclerotic bone lesion on CT or plain radiograph often creates a diagnostic dilemma. Osteosarcoma (2) Here images of an osteosarcoma in the right femur. 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. Notice that many benign osteolytic lesions that are frequently seen in younger age groups may heal and appear as sclerotic lesions in the middle aged group. In the subchondral bone, the number of TRAP-positive cells peaked on day 14. Enhancement after i.v. 5. Therefore, MRI and bone scan were performed. Once we have decided whether a bone lesion is sclerotic or osteolytic and whether it has a well-defined or ill-defined margins, the next question should be: how old is the patient? A high grade chondrosarcoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis. They can affect any bone and be either benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). 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. Consider progression of osteohondroma to chondrosarcoma when cartilage cap measures > 10 mm. Notice the resemblance to a juxtacortical mass in another patient (right), which was a biopsy proven parosteal osteosarcoma. Typically presents as a lytic lesion in a flat bone, vertebra or diaphysis of long bone. Here a radiograph of the pelvis with a barely visible osteoblastic metastasis in the left iliac bone (blue arrow). Our patient had lytic bone lesions in (femur) long bones and also sclerotic lesions in the pelvic which was . Here a rather wel-defined eccentric lesion which is predominantly sclerotic. 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. Ossifications or calcifications can be present in variable amounts. SusanaBoronat, IgnasiBarber, VivekPargaonkar, JoshuaChang, Elizabeth A.Thiele . Bone cements such as polymethyl methacrylate and calcium phosphates have been widely used for the reconstruction of bone. Hyperdense oval-shaped lesions with spiculated or paintbrush margins, without distortion of the adjacent bony trabeculae. 7, Behrang Amini, Susana Calle, Octavio Arevalo, Richard M.

ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. and PD-L1 PET/CT (PD-L1 positivity is defined as having at least one lesion with radiotracer uptake over the . It could be blood or fluids released from fibrosis (scarred tissue) or necrosis (tissue death). A bone island larger than 1 cm is referred to as a giant bone island (12). Osteoblastic bone metastases are characterized by increased bone formation 2. Differentiating a bone infarct from an enchondroma or low-grade chondrosarcoma on plain films can be difficult or even impossible. Here on a radiograph the typical calcifications in the chondroid matrix of an enchondroma. Location within the skeleton Another approach to the differential diagnosis of sclerotic bone lesions is to use the mnemonic I VINDICATE, which means 'I clear myself from accusation'. 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. Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology. BallooningBallooning is a special type of cortical destruction.In ballooning the destruction of endosteal cortical bone and the addition of new bone on the outside occur at the same rate, resulting in expansion. If the patient had fever and a proper clinical setting, osteomyelitis would be in the differential diagnosis. 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. Less common: Fibrous dysplasia, Brown tumors of hyperparathyroidism, bone infarcts. Subchondral bone attrition is the flattening or depression of the bone surface that forms part of a joint. However, not all epidermal inclusion cysts involve bone, and some are confined to the subcutaneous tissues. This is a routine medical imaging report. To determine if sclerotic bone lesions evident at body computed tomography (CT) are of value as a diagnostic criterion of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and in the differentiation of TSC with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) from sporadic LAM. FD is often purely lytic, but may have a groundglass appearance as the matrix calcifies. Mass displaces and involves both the right 10 th intercostal artery, as well as more superior right 9 th intercostal artery. 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. Notice that the mineralization is predominantly in the periphery of the mass and that there is a lucent zone between the mass and the cortical bone. At the 1-year follow-up, the lesion was completely stable and no additional follow-up was recommended in the absence of symptoms. This represents a thick cartilage cap. Localisation: femur, tibia, hands and feet, spine (arch). Axial T1-weighted MR image shows homogeneous low signal intensity due to the compact bone apposition. The zone of transition only applies to osteolytic lesions since sclerotic lesions usually have a narrow transition zone. Diffuse bony sclerosis (mnemonic). These lesions may have ill-defined margins, but cortical destruction and an aggressive type of periosteal reaction may also be seen. Ossification in parosteal osteosaroma is usually more mature in the center than at the periphery. Strahlenther Onkol. The radiographic appearance and location are typical. Park S, Lee I, Cho K et al. The lesion shows increased uptake of the tracer in the bone scan (arrow in Fig. 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. 2018;10(6):156. Bone metastases have a predilection for hematopoietic marrow sites: spine, pelvis, ribs, cranium and proximal long bones: femur, humerus. (2007) ISBN:0781765188. The benign type is seen in benign lesions such as benign tumors and following trauma. Continue with the MR-images. How should one approach sclerotic bone disease? Differentiating between a diaphyseal and a metaphyseal location is not always possible. Osteoblastic metastases have a lower fracture risk than lytic or mixed bone metastases 11-13. post-treatment appearance of any lytic bone metastasis. These lesions are not osteochondromas, but consist of reactive cartilage metaplasia. (2005) ISBN: 9780721602707 -. 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. ( A1,A2) Transversal CT of the skull of a TSC patient and . Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. In the article Bone Tumors - Differential diagnosis we discussed a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. Usually stress fractures are easy to recognize. This could very well be an enchondroma. 7. Unable to process the form. A lucent, well-circumscribed lesion is seen with a surrounding thin sclerotic cortical rim on plain radiographs [ Figure 4 ]. Distinguishing Untreated Osteoblastic Metastases From Enostoses Using CT Attenuation Measurements. 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. 1991;167(9):549-52. There are two kinds of mineralization: Chondroid matrix Spinal lesions are commonly spotted on imaging tests. Oncol Rev. Osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma are the most common types of bone cancer. Coronal T1W image shows lobulated margins and peripheral low SI due to the calcifications. Radiographs are specific but suffer from low sensitivity 1. 2010;35(22):E1221-9. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Bone Metastases: An Overview. Concerning the above factors the differential diagnosis includes the following lesions 1-3: sclerotic bone metastasis: might be solitary because no others are present or have been imaged, infection: e.g. Common: Metastases, multiple myeloma, multiple enchondromas. Magnetic resonance imaging of subchondral bone marrow lesions in association with osteoarthritis. Usually it is a lesion of childhood or young adults. 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. Density measurements on CT scan revealed greater than 1,000 HU throughout the lesion. 3. Should be included in the differential diagnosis of young patient with multiple lucent lesions (Langerhans cell histiocytosis). Age: most commonly seen in 10-25 years, but may occur in older patients. This proved to be a reactive calcification secondary to trauma. 1989. Urgency: Routine.
