Osteo Malignancies

1) This uncontrolled growth of osteoblasts is usually found in the long bone metaphysis and causes persistent nocuturnal pain that is not relieved with rest

2) What radiologic finding would be present in a patient with osteosarcoma

3) What interval should you perform a CXR on a patient diagnosed with a giant cell tumor to check for pulmonary involvement?

4) This malignancy arises from cartilege cells, bones will have no osteoid formation, and is treated with aggressive surgical intervention and radiation

5) This benign tumor commonly occurs in the spine, dissolves healthy bone and does not respond well to NSAIDs for pain control

6) This benign tumor occurs in the epiphysis of long bone distal to the femur and proximal to the tibia

7) This cartilege capped tumor grows away from the metaphysis of the knee, is usually an asymptomatic, non-tender mass, and can cause pain if impingement occurs

8) What treatment is best for an osteochodroma that develops in childhood

9) Which area of the body are malignant chondrosarcomas most likely to arise?

10) This benign tumor is most often found in the spine, causes radiating pain and nerve/spinal impingement

11) What stage are enchondromas most often found?

12) This will cause pain before any visible radiologic findings are present, and MRI findings will include skip lesions and dialated veins

13) What diagnostic modality is used to confirm Osteosarcoma

14) A benign cartilege (hyaline) tumor that shows geographic lysis with sharp margins and calcifications is MOST commonly found incidentally in what area of the body

15) This benign tumor can spontaneously resolve, causes pathologic fractures, months of pain; pulmonary mets may be present
