Symptoms

• Pain– No Pain– Recent onset pain– Pain at presentation

Duration of symptoms

• Longer duraton – Benign

• Shorter duration - Malignant

Site of lesion

Margin of the lesion

Lodwicks Grading

• Grade 1- Geographic lesion– A – Thick sclerotic margin– B – Narrow sclerotic margin– C – No margin

• Grade 2 – Moth eaten destruction

• Grade 3 – Permeative destruction

Periosteal Reaction

• Simple Elevation and Ossification– Any slow process– Periosteum laid down fast enough to contain the lesion

• Lamellated Elevation– Aggressive tumour growth in fits and starts

• Sunburst or Hair on End Elevation– Rapid steady growth

• Codman’s Triangle– Very rapid expansion

Simple Elevation

Lamellated Elevation

Sunburst Elevation

Matrix of the lesion

Bone Scan

• Other sites– Metastatic lesion– Skip lesion– Multicentric lesions

• CT Scan– Subtle cortical erosion– Extent of destruction– Matrix calcification– Lung metastasis

• MRI Scan– Soft tissue extent– Neurovascular bundle– Gadolinium <2hrs Malignant. >2hrs Infection.Benign– Cartilage involvement

Staging

• Benign– Latent– Active– Aggressive

Staging

• Malignant

– IA Low grade malignant IC

– IB Low grade malignant EC

– IIA High grade malignant IC

– IIB High grade malignant EC

– III I or II with metastasis

Reading an Xray

• Site in the bone– Vertical– Horizontal

• Site in the body

• What has the guest done to the host?

• What has the host done to the guest?

Site – in the bone

• Vertical Orientation – Epiphyseal, Metaphyseal, Diaphyseal

• Horizontal Orientation– Central Eccentric

Site – in the body

• Around the knee

• Proximal Humerus

• Distal radius

• Red marrow sites

What has the guest done to the host?

• Destruction– Sclerotic– Lytic– Mixed

• Expansion

• Matrix

What has the host done to the guest?

• Sclerotic rimming

• Periosteal reaction

Blood Investigations

• CBC, ESR

• S. Alk PO4ase

• LDH

• S. Ca

• PSA

• S. Electrophoresis
