However, a specific density range has not been specified for those terms 1. Imaging is often helpful in determining a diagnosis, and it can sometimes make a particular diagnosis nearly certain. by Mulder JD et al Magnetic resonance imaging of subchondral bone marrow lesions in association with osteoarthritis. 2019;290(1):146-54. However, cancers that metastasize to bone are very common. More heterogenous and irregular with bony trabecular destruction and possible extension beyond the confines of the cortex. 7. Calcifications or mineralization within a bone lesion may be an important clue in the differential diagnosis. What does it mean that a lesion is sclerotic? This 'neocortex' can be smooth and uninterrupted, but may also be focally interrupted in more aggressive lesions like GCT. Focal sclerotic bony lesions (mnemonic). Ali Mohammed Hammamy R, Farooqui K, Ghadban W. Sclerotic Bone Metastasis in Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma. 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). Lesions in the bone are usually identified on radiographic images - chiefly X-rays - but also on CT and MRI scans. Radiological hallmark: formation of a chondroid (cartilagenous) matrix, which presents as punctuated, stippled or popcorn-like calcifications. It could be blood or fluids released from fibrosis (scarred tissue) or necrosis (tissue death). 2021;50(5):847-69. giant cell tumor, metastasis, and myeloma; (3) sclerotic . Unable to process the form. Gulati V, Chalian M, Yi J, Thakur U, Chhabra A. Sclerotic Bone Lesions Caused by Non-Infectious and Non-Neoplastic Diseases: A Review of the Imaging and Clinicopathologic Findings. The sclerotic lesion in the humeral head could very well be a benign enchondroma based on the imaging findings. by Clyde A. Helms Bone islands demonstrate uniformly low Diffuse bony sclerosis (mnemonic). A T1w/T2-weighted (T2w) hypointense nonexpansile lesion is seen involving the sacrum (asterisk). Centrally there is an ill-defined osteolytic area. Spine (Phila Pa 1976). It classically presents with nocturnal pain in young patients, painful scoliosis, and marked relief from NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Complete destruction may be seen in high-grade malignant lesions, but also in locally aggressive benign lesions like EG and osteomyelitis. Here are links to other articles about bone tumors: Most bone tumors are osteolytic. Occasionally slowly enlargement can be seen. At Henry Ford Orthopaedics in Chelsea our mission is to provide personalized treatment plans specific to each patient, to ensure the best possible outcome. 4. Henry Ford Hospital, Neuro Surgery, MI, 1999 Universitat Dusseldorf, Neuro Surgery, 1990 Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, Neuro Surgery, 1983 Bone metastases have a predilection for hematopoietic marrow sites: spine, pelvis, ribs, cranium and proximal long bones: femur, humerus. Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. Check for errors and try again. 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. W. B. Saunders company 1995, by Mark J. Kransdorf and Donald E. Sweet 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. 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. Cortical destruction is a common finding, and not very useful in distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions. Causes include trauma, infection, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, spinal degeneration, congenital malformations, and benign or cancerous tumors. Infections, a common tumor mimicker, are seen in any age group. Ossification in parosteal osteosaroma is usually more mature in the center than at the periphery. Acute osteomyelitis is characterised by osteolysis. 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. A Novel Classification System for Spinal Instability in Neoplastic Disease: An Evidence-Based Approach and Expert Consensus from the Spine Oncology Study Group. Results: In 24 patients, 52 new sclerotic lesions observed during therapy were selected for re-evaluation of conventional radiographs and bone scans. Our patient had lytic bone lesions in (femur) long bones and also sclerotic lesions in the pelvic which was . 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. 2019;15:100205. 2 ed. Here a partially calcified mass against the proximal humerus with involvement of the cortical bone on an axial CT image. Here an example of a patient with a stress fracture of the distal fibula. Here a patient with a broad-based osteochondroma with extension of the cortical bone into the stalk of the lesion. 1. 33.1a) and sagittal short tau inversion recovery (STIR; Fig. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. More uniform cortical bone destruction can be found in benign and low-grade malignant lesions. 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. AJR Am J Roentgenol. Differentiating between a diaphyseal and a metaphyseal location is not always possible. This represents a thick cartilage cap. 2010;35(22):E1221-9. Hyperdense oval-shaped lesions with spiculated or paintbrush margins, without distortion of the adjacent bony trabeculae. 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. Differentiation of Predominantly Osteoblastic and Osteolytic Spine Metastases by Using Susceptibility-Weighted MRI. Ulano A, Bredella M, Burke P et al. In aggressive periostitis the periosteum does not have time to consolidate. 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. 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. ( A1,A2) Transversal CT of the skull of a TSC patient and . 2016;207(2):362-8. <-Lucent Lesions of Bone | Periosteal Reaction->. Diagnostic brain imaging tests can assess bone fractures, structural problems, blood vessel abnormalities, and changes in brain metabolism. UW Radiology Sclerotic Lesions of Bone <-Lucent Lesions of Bone | Periosteal Reaction-> What does it mean that a lesion is sclerotic? The differential diagnosis of bone lesions that result in bony sclerosis will be given. The image shows a calcified lesion in the proximal tibia without suspicious features. The homogeneous enhancement in the upper part with edema and cortical thickening are not typical for a low-grade chondrosarcoma. Notice the resemblance to a juxtacortical mass in another patient (right), which was a biopsy proven parosteal osteosarcoma. Differential diagnosis They usually affect posterior vertebral elements and their number and size increase with age. In this chapter, we will discuss key imaging features that strongly indicate the lesion is benign and those that warn further evaluation is warranted. Infection may be well-defined or ill-defined osteolytic, and even sclerotic. Here a well-defined mixed sclerotic-lytic lesion of the left iliac bone. T2-weighted MR image reveals a lobulated mass with high signal intensity. 1. . ImageBenign periosteal reaction in an osteoid osteoma.Large arrow indicates solid periosteal reaction.Small arrow indicates nidus. Non-ossifying fibroma which has been filled in. In order to classify osteolytic lesions as well-defined or ill-defined, we need to look at the zone of transition between the lesion and the adjacent normal bone. Hallmark of osteosarcoma is the production of bony matrix, which is reflected by the sclerosis seen on the radiograph. The differential diagnosis of solitary sclerotic bone lesions can be narrowed down according to the following factors 1-3: cartilaginous matrix (rings and arcs appearance). ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Semin. Radionuclide bone scan shows a classic "double density" sign of osteoid osteoma located in the tibia: markedly increased radioactivity in the center ( arrow) is related to the nidus, less active areas ( arrowheads) represent reactive sclerosis. Axial T1-weighted MR image shows homogeneous low signal intensity due to the compact bone apposition. Park S, Lee I, Cho K et al. Check for errors and try again. The differential diagnosis mostly depends on the age of the patient and the findings on the conventional radiographs. Here a lesion in the epiphysis, which was the result of post-traumatic osteonecrosis. Appendicitis - Pitfalls in US and CT diagnosis, Acute Abdomen in Gynaecology - Ultrasound, Transvaginal Ultrasound for Non-Gynaecological Conditions, Bi-RADS for Mammography and Ultrasound 2013, Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System, Contrast-enhanced MRA of peripheral vessels, Vascular Anomalies of Aorta, Pulmonary and Systemic vessels, Esophagus I: anatomy, rings, inflammation, Esophagus II: Strictures, Acute syndromes, Neoplasms and Vascular impressions, TI-RADS - Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System, How to Differentiate Carotid Obstructions, Periosteal or juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, Aneurysmal Bone Cyst: Concept, Controversy, Clinical Presentation, and Imaging, Bone Tumors and Tumorlike Conditions: Analysis with Conventional Radiography. Small osteolytic lesion (up to 1.5 cm) with or without central calcification. There are no calcifications. The subchondral bone is key to cartilage and joint health. On the right T2-WI with FS of same patient.. On CT sclerotic bone metastases typically present as hyperdense lesions, but display a lower density than bone islands 5. Symptoms are usually absent, however, in adult patients with a chondroid lesion in a long bone, particularly of larger size, always consider low-grade chondrosarcoma. Fibrous dysplasia, enchondromas, EG, Mets and myeloma, Hyperparathyroidism, Infection. Bone flare phenomenon was well described on bone scans; a study 25 revealed the appearance of new or worsening bone sclerosis at 3-month CT assessment in three of 67 castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients undergoing systemic treatment. 3. One can then apply various features of the lesions to this differential, and exclude some things, elevate some things, and downgrade others in the differential. AJR 1995;164:573-580, Online teaching by the Musculoskeletal Radiology academic section of the University of Washington, by Theodore Miller March 2008 Radiology, 246, 662-674, by Nancy M. Major, Clyde A. Helms and William J. Richardson. Many important signaling . If there are multiple or polyostotic lesions, the differential diagnosis must be adjusted. Metastatic sclerotic bone lesions present in three typical patterns, focal, variegated, or diffuse based on the histological origin of the primary tumor. A lucent, well-circumscribed lesion is seen with a surrounding thin sclerotic cortical rim on plain radiographs [ Figure 4 ]. Fibro-osseous lesion like fibrous dysplasia. Based on the morphology and the age of the patients, these lesions are benign. 2022;51(9):1743-64. How should one approach sclerotic bone disease? The pathogenesis of myeloma-related bone disease (MBD) is the imbalance of the bone-remodeling process, which results from osteoclast activation, osteoblast suppression, and the immunosuppressed bone marrow microenvironment. Most cases of chronic osteomyelitis look pretty nonspecific. I think that the best way is to start with a good differential diagnosis for sclerotic bones. Generic Differential Diagnosis of Sclerotic Bone Lesions. Signed by [redacted] on 1/17/2020 11:42 AM Narrative Ulano A, Bredella M, Burke P et al. Skeletal Radiol. The zone of transition is the most reliable indicator in determining whether an osteolytic lesion is benign or malignant (1). A molecular classification has been also proposed. Most of the time, sclerotic lesions are benign. Click here for more examples of chondroblastoma. Interventional Radiology). . The diagnosis is usually established by a combination of imaging and the known presence of a primary tumor that is associated with sclerotic bone metastases. Notice the lytic peripheral part with subtle calcifications. Bone Metastases: An Overview. CT of Sclerotic Bone Lesions: Imaging Features Differentiating Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis from Sporadic Lymphangioleiomymatosis1. 2018;10(6):156. In patients > 30 years, and particularly > 40 years, despite benign radiographic features, a metastasis or plasmacytoma also have to be considered Sclerotic jaw lesions are not rare and are frequently encountered on radiographs and computed tomography (CT). 2020;60(Suppl 1):1-16. 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. Solitary sclerotic bone lesion. Secondary bone cancer is much more common than primary bone . In the active phase there is multilaminar periosteal reaction and bone and soft tissue edema. Here a lesion located in the epi- and metaphysis of the proximal humerus. Mirels H. Metastatic Disease in Long Bones: A Proposed Scoring System for Diagnosing Impending Pathologic Fractures. It can identify small or large tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), encephalitis (brain inflammation), or meningitis (inflammation of the meninges that lie between the brain and the skull). However, a specific density range has not been specified for those terms 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. This part corresponds to a zone of high SI on T2-WI with FS on the right. As current recommendations for tuberous sclerosis complex surveillance include renal MR performed i DD: juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma. In the cases in which the solitary sclerotic lesion has increased, uptake on bone scan, follow-up CT, or plain film imaging is recommended at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals. Rib lesions detected on bone scintigraphy often require further characterization with radiography or CT to improve specificity (Figs. In fact, in areas where sickle cell disease is common, this may be the leading cause of diffuse sclerotic bones. World J Radiol. 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. This is extremely common in Pagets disease but extremely uncommon with a blastic metastasis. Amorphous mineralisation is present in most lesions. The mnemonic I VINDICATE is a commonly used mnemonic for the differential diagnostis of any radiological lesion. 5 Biopsy should be considered in atypical cases or in high-risk patients with primary malignancies associated with osteoblastic metastatic disease. Development in centrally located osteochondromas like the pelvis, hip and shoulder is most common. Clin Orthop Relat Res. They can affect any bone and be either benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). Brant WE, Helms CA. Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-21100, Mnemonic for focal sclerotic lesions (mnemonic). Osteochondroma is a bony protrusion covered by a cartilaginous cap. Bone marrow edema can happen with fractures and other serious bone or joint injuries. A brain MRI can . 6. SWI:low signal intensity on the inverted magnitude and phase images 9. Increased uptake on bone scan has been reported in bone islands, especially giant ones, but warrants imaging follow-up. Multiple enchondromas are seen in Morbus Ollier. 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. Imaging of skull vault tumors in adults: Author: Pons Escoda, Albert Naval Baudin, Pablo . Bone scintigraphy can be either negative or show limited uptake. 2021;216(4):1022-30. 2016;207(2):362-8. Fundamentals of Skeletal Radiology, second edition 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. A Codman's triangle refers to an elevation of the periosteum away from the cortex, forming an angle where the elevated periosteum and bone come together. The radiographic appearance and location are typical. In this article we will discuss a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. Materials and Methods A sclerotic lesion is an unusual hardening or thickening of your bone. Axial imaging for differentiation from Brodie abscess, osteoblastoma, stress fracture. You may have been surprised to see metastatic disease listed as a leading cause for diffuse sclerotic bones. 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. Eosinophilic granuloma like osteomyelitis, can be a serious mimicker of malignancy (particularly Ewing sarcoma).
