Cortical destruction is a common finding, and not very useful in distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions. Mnemonic for multiple oseolytic lesions: FEEMHI: 1 When the vertebral lesion has no benign features, especially in the older adult patient, metastatic disease is always a significant consideration. Kimura T. Multidisciplinary Approach for Bone Metastasis: A Review. Most commonly encountered bone tumor in the small bones of the hand and foot. However, if one sees sinus tracts associated with a sclerotic area, one should strongly consider osteomyelitis. Henry Ford Hospital, Neuro Surgery, MI, 1999 Universitat Dusseldorf, Neuro Surgery, 1990 Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, Neuro Surgery, 1983 A periosteal reaction with or without layering may be present. growth of osteohondroma in skeletally mature patients, irregular or indistinct surface of lesions, soft tissue mass with scattered or irregular calcifications. There are two patterns of periosteal reaction: a benign and an aggressive type. DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. Osteochondroma is a bony protrusion covered by a cartilaginous cap. The radiograph shows typical bone infarcts in diaphysis and metaphysis of femur and tibia.. On MR imaging bone infarcts are characterized by irregulair serpentiginous margins with low signal intensity on both T1 and T2 WI and with intermediate to high fat signal in the center part. Detecting a benign periosteal reaction may be very helpful, since malignant lesions never cause a benign periosteal reaction. In the subchondral bone, the number of TRAP-positive cells peaked on day 14. 9. In the table the most common sclerotic bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in different age-groups are presented. Unable to process the form. Degenerative subchondral cyst: epiphyseal, Chondroid matrix in cartilaginous tumors like enchondromas and chondrosarcomsa. Sclerotic bone lesions appear exclusively in middle aged black patients. Click here for more examples of eosinophilic granuloma. Age: most commonly seen in 10-25 years, but may occur in older patients. A cold bone scan is helpful in distinguishing the bone island from a sclerotic metastasis, whereas a warm bone scan is nondiagnostic. Infection with a multilayered periosteal reaction. Unable to process the form. Diffuse skeletal infarcts can be a common cause of diffuse skeletal sclerosis. 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. 6. World J Radiol. When a reactive process is more likely based on history and imaging features, follow-up is sometimes still needed. Here a patient with a broad-based osteochondroma. Ossification in parosteal osteosaroma is usually more mature in the center than at the periphery. 2021;216(4):1022-30. The homogeneous enhancement in the upper part with edema and cortical thickening are not typical for a low-grade chondrosarcoma. All images were evaluated for joint form, erosion, sclerosis, fat metaplasia and bone marrow oedema (BMO) by two independent readers. Osteomyelitis is a mimicker of various benign and malignant bone tumors and reactive processes that may be accompanied by reactive sclerosis. Usually typical malignant features including permeative-motheaten pattern of destruction, irregular cortical destruction and aggressive (interrupted) periosteal reaction. Macedo F, Ladeira K, Pinho F et al. Journal of Bone Oncology. Bone reacts to its environment in two ways either by removing some of itself or by creating more of itself. 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. Here images of an osteosarcoma in the right femur. 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. Notice that the cortical bone extends into the lesion. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Knipe H, Yap J, Masters M, et al. RT @JMGardnerMD: 20 yo M w/ 5 cm lytic bone lesion in proximal tibia metaphysis, sharply demarcated w/ sclerotic rim. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy of plasma cells that causes bone-destructive lesions and associated skeletal-related events (SREs). The images show on the left a typical osteolytic NOF with a sharp sclerotic border. AJR 2000; 175:261-263. Impact of Sclerotic. Growth of osteochondroma in skeletally mature patient, Irregular or indistinct surface of lesions, focal lucent regions in interior of lesions, presence of soft tissue mass with scattered or irregular calcifications. The subchondral bone is key to cartilage and joint health. Bone islands demonstrate uniformly low and PD-L1 PET/CT (PD-L1 positivity is defined as having at least one lesion with radiotracer uptake over the . When considering Pagets disease, it is extremely helpful to note whether there is associated bony enlargement. Urgency: Routine. Isaac A, Dalili D, Dalili D, Weber M. State-Of-The-Art Imaging for Diagnosis of Metastatic Bone Disease. Central location most common with some expansion and cortical thinning. 1. Less dense on CT and more heterogeneous than bone islands. 4 , 5 , 6. 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 ]. Semin. This occurs in early knee osteoarthritis and indicates the potential for cartilage loss and misalignment of a knee compartment.

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. 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. Because of the large dimensions with soft tissue extension on plain radiograph and axial T2-weighted MR image, a high grade chondrosarcoma was suspected. The contour of the subchondral bone plate was maintained until day 3, but it was absorbed just under the cartilage defect from day 7 to 14. Mild mass effect on adjacent lung, diaphragm, and liver. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-22391. Here on a radiograph the typical calcifications in the chondroid matrix of an enchondroma. 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). Notice the resemblance to a juxtacortical mass in another patient (right), which was a biopsy proven parosteal osteosarcoma. Arthritis Rheum., 42 (2012), pp. Differential diagnosis (see diagnostic imaging pearls). Sclerotic bone metastases. The sclerotic lesion in the humeral head could very well be a benign enchondroma based on the imaging findings. 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 . 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. Sclerosis is usually the most prominent finding in subacute and chronic osteomyelitis. 3. Click here for more detailed information about NOF. Here Melorrheostosis of the ulna with the appearance of candle wax. The sclerotic lesion in the humeral head could very well be a benign enchondroma based on the imaging findings. General Considerations Skeletal Radiol. Unable to process the form. Eosinophilic granuloma like osteomyelitis, can be a serious mimicker of malignancy (particularly Ewing sarcoma). by Mulder JD, et al. Multiple enchondromas are seen in Morbus Ollier. 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 Osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma are the most common types of bone cancer. Here an example of a patient with a stress fracture of the distal fibula. Etiology 2. Infections and eosinophilic granulomaInfections and eosinophilic granuloma are exceptional because they are benign lesions which can mimick a malignant bone tumor due to their aggressive biologic behavior. This benign reactive process is most commonly found adjacent to the cortex of phalanges of hands or feet (75%). Infections, a common tumor mimicker, are seen in any age group. Sclerotic or osteoblastic bone metastases are distant tumor deposits of a primary tumor within bone characterized by new bone deposition or new bone formation. They can affect any bone and be either benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). Benign lesion consisting of well-differentiated mature bone tissue within the medullary cavity. 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. Distinct phenotypes are described: osteoblastic, the more common osteolytic and mixed. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-21100, Mnemonic for focal sclerotic lesions (mnemonic). In the epiphysis we use the term avascular necrosis and not bone infarction. Imaging is often helpful in determining a diagnosis, and it can sometimes make a particular diagnosis nearly certain. Most common malignant bone tumor, which is almost always low-grade, Primary sites of origin: proximal long bones, around knee, pelvis and shoulder girdle, usually central and metaphyseal. 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. 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. This image is of a 20 year old patient with a sclerotic expansile lesion in the clavicle. Patients with sclerotic lesions due to metastasis often have a history of prior malignant disease. Differentiating a bone infarct from an enchondroma or low-grade chondrosarcoma on plain films can be difficult or even impossible. In patients 12. The radiological report should include a description of the following 2: location and size including the whole extent of disease load, pain attributable to the lesion (if known), Treatment of bone metastases, in general, is usually planned by a multidisciplinary team 10. Here are links to other articles about bone tumors: Most bone tumors are osteolytic. Geode or subchondral cyst in the navicular bone, Geode or subchondral cyst in the tarsal bone, X-ray and MRI of a chondroblasoma in the tarsal bone, Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) in the calcaneus. AJR Am J Roentgenol. A brain MRI can . Check for errors and try again. Bone metastases have a predilection for hematopoietic marrow sites: spine, pelvis, ribs, cranium and proximal long bones: femur, humerus. A T1w/T2-weighted (T2w) hypointense nonexpansile lesion is seen involving the sacrum (asterisk). W. B. Saunders company 1995, by Mark J. Kransdorf and Donald E. Sweet More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. 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. Radiology. Accordingly, growth of osteochondromas is allowed until a patient reaches adulthood and the physeal plates are closed. Several genes have been discovered that, when disrupted, result in specific types . Bone scintigraphy (99mTc MDP) is very sensitive for the detection of osteoblastic providing information on osteoblastic activity but suffers from specificity with a false-positivity rate ranging up to 40% 1. Spinal lesions are commonly spotted on imaging tests. Fibrous dysplasia, enchondromas, EG, Mets and myeloma, Hyperparathyroidism, Infection. 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. Based on the morphology and the age of the patients, these lesions are benign. Less common: Fibrous dysplasia, Brown tumors of hyperparathyroidism, bone infarcts. Sometimes a more solid periosteal reaction is present combined with cortical thickening and broadening of the bone. 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. Rib lesions detected on bone scintigraphy often require further characterization with radiography or CT to improve specificity (Figs. (2005) ISBN: 9780721602707 -. Bone metastases are the most common malignancy of bone of which sclerotic bone metastases are less common than lytic bone metastases. 4. The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. However, the exact mechanism that leads to osteoblastic formation is not entirely elucidated. There are calcified strands within the soft tissues. The MR image shows that the lesion has lobulated contours and nodular enhancement. The radiographic appearance and location are typical. Eosinophilic Granuloma and infections should be mentioned in the differential diagnosis of almost any bone lesion in patients < 20 years. Bone scan shows no high activity, opposed to low-grade intraosseous osteosarcoma. . Here two patients with a bizar parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also called Nora's lesion. Lesions in the bone are usually identified on radiographic images - chiefly X-rays - but also on CT and MRI scans. Frequently encountered as a coincidental finding and can be found in any bone. Biopsy revealed dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Typically a NOF presents as an eccentric well-defined lytic lesion, usually found as a coincidental finding. Cancers (Basel). 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). ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. A chondrosarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy. In the late stage of OA, the main feature is subchondral bone sclerosis, whose microarchitectural characteristics are elevated apparent density, increased bone volume, . There is reactive sclerosis with a nidus that is barely visible on the radiograph (blue arrow), but clearly visible on the CT (red arrows). Consider peripheral chondrosaroma in growing osteochondromas with or without pain after closure of the physeal plate. 10. Here a rather wel-defined eccentric lesion which is predominantly sclerotic. The epiphysis, metaphysis and diaphysis may be involved. 5 Biopsy should be considered in atypical cases or in high-risk patients with primary malignancies associated with osteoblastic metastatic disease. These are infections and eosinophilic granuloma. Imaging of skull vault tumors in adults: Author: Pons Escoda, Albert Naval Baudin, Pablo . 20 yo M w/ 5 cm lytic bone lesion in proximal tibia metaphysis, sharply demarcated w/ sclerotic rim. 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. by Mulder JD et al 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. Notice the lytic peripheral part with subtle calcifications.

Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-8429. Sclerotic means that the lesions are slow-growing changes to your bone that happen very gradually over time. Causes: corticosteroid use, sickle cell disease, trauma, Gaucher's disease, renal transplantation. 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. 2019;290(1):146-54. 11. How should one approach sclerotic bone disease? Here a chondrosarcoma of the left iliac bone. However, not all epidermal inclusion cysts involve bone, and some are confined to the subcutaneous tissues. 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. The X-ray features were divided into two groups according to typical and atypical skeletal lesions. In this case, because of the increased uptake on bone scintigraphy, a follow-up MRI was recommended at 6 and 12 months. In most cases of osteoid osteoma the radiographic appearance is determined by the reactive sclerosis. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us"}, Gaillard F, Knipe H, Weerakkody Y, et al. Density measurements on CT scan revealed greater than 1,000 HU throughout the lesion. Axial imaging for differentiation from Brodie abscess, osteoblastoma, stress fracture. Common: Metastases, multiple myeloma, multiple enchondromas. 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.
