Parosteal osteogenic sarcoma arising in cranial bones: clinical and radiologic features in eight patients

Parosteal osteogenic sarcoma is a distinct surface bone tumor with a better prognosis than conventional osteogenic sarcoma. We studied eight histologically proved cases of cranial parosteal osteogenic sarcoma. The tumors were identical in histologic appearance to parosteal osteosarcoma arising in long bones. Clinically, the tumor presented as a hard, painless, nodular scalp mass. The prevalence in women outnumbered that in men by 3:1, with most cases occurring between the second and third decades of life. Plain radiographs showed a rounded, sessile bone growth of variable size arising from the outer table of the skull. The tumor was heavily ossified centrally with variable margins and, at times, with radiating bony spicules at the periphery. No satellite bone nodules were noted in adjacent soft tissues. In three cases a fine radiolucent cleft was demonstrated between the tumor and the underlying outer table on the tangential radiographs or CT. After en bloc resection of the tumor, follow-ups for 20 years in one patient and 1 year in two patients showed no recurrence. Parosteal osteosarcoma of the skull is a rare low-grade tumor that usually arises from the outer table of the skull and has distinctive radiologic features that should distinguish it from other exophytic cranial bone neoplasms.     

The ultrasound aspect of the skin and subcutaneous fat layer in various benign and malignant breast conditions.

In a series of 260 consecutive X-ray mammography examinations in symptomatic patients, 25 patients proved to have breast cancer, and 41 had various benign breast conditions. In the 66 patients with abnormal mammograms a real-time ultrasound examination with a 7.5 MHz linear array transducer and a fluid offset pad was performed. This paper focuses on the ultrasound aspect of the skin and the subcutaneous fat layer in various benign and malignant breast conditions. In most of the malignant tumors studied as well as in cases of fat necrosis and breast abscesses, the following ultrasound signs were encountered: discontinuity of the sharp echogenic subcutaneous specular reflector, thickening of the skin, and locally increased echogenicity of the subcutaneous fat layer. In breast cancer these signs were seen in some patients with small tumors, in deeply located tumors as well as in patients with no skin retraction on clinical examination. The differential diagnosis between cancer and benign breast tumors cannot be based upon the ultrasound aspect of the skin and subcutaneous fat layer alone. X-ray mammography as well as clinical criteria and anamnestic factors should be used for the diagnosis of breast abscesses (calor, rubor, tumor, dolor) and for the diagnosis of fat necrosis (surgery, trauma).     

儿童骨骼尤文肉瘤的影像学诊断和鉴别诊断

目的 探讨儿童骨骼尤文肉瘤在X线平片、CT和MRI上的影像学征象，以提高对其诊断和鉴别诊断能力。资料与方法 回顾性分析经临床病理证实的儿童骨骼尤文肉瘤11例，其中X线平片检查7例，单行MRI扫描2例，单行CT扫描4例，同时行MRI及CT扫描者4例。结果 11例尤文肉瘤中发生于骨盆4例，股骨3例，胫骨、肋骨、趾骨和脊柱各1例，其中胫骨和髂骨各1例术后出现颅骨转移。X线平片上6例表现为虫蚀状或溶骨性破坏，2例病灶略呈膨胀性改变，骨皮质破坏伴单层、多层或放射状骨膜反应，邻近软组织层次欠清；发生于肋骨的1例以硬化为主，CT像上髓腔密度增高，骨质鼠咬状或斑片状破坏伴骨皮质裂隙状或不规则破坏；2例骨皮质呈膨胀、变薄、中断，周围见不完整的层状骨膜反应及较大软组织肿块；MRI上表现为大片长T1长T2信号的骨质破坏和巨大的软组织肿块；1例肿块呈跨关节生长。结论 X线平片、CT和MPI在骨尤文肉瘤的评估方面有重要作用。X线平片可有助于肿瘤的定性和定位；MRI平扫T1WI像及短反转时间反转恢复技术(STIR)能清晰显示肿瘤的范围，在显示肿瘤对骨骺及邻近软组织的侵犯方面尤为敏感；CT在显示骨及骨皮质破坏等方面优于MRI。     

Osteogenic sarcoma after retinoblastoma radiotherapy.

Development of osteogenic sarcoma after retinoblastoma radiotherapy in three patients, two of whom were siblings, is reported. Pluridirectional tomography and plain skull radiography demonstrated soft tissue masses, sinus opacification, and bone destruction and sclerosis in all three patients. Computed tomography reliably indicated the presence or absence of intracranial tumor extension in the two patients in whom it was performed. Radionuclide bone scanning was a useful adjunct for osteosarcomatous detection.

Abstract：

Objective To explore the findings of diaphysial osteosarcoma in long bone on X-ray,CT and MRI, and discuss their clinical features and manifestations for differential diagnosis. Methods Twenty-eight cases with diaphysial osteosarcoma in long bone proved by surgery and pathology were reviewed retrospectively. Eighteen tumors were located in the femur, 4 in fibula, 4 in humerus and 2 in tibia. All of the patients were examined by X-ray, CT and MRI. The imaging manifestations on X-ray, CT and MRI were analyzed, and the relationship of the imaging features with the pathological types was also observed. The imaging signs were correlated with the pathologic findings with a double blind method. Results Of the 28 cases, there were 16 cases with large bone destruction, 22 cases with periosteal reaction on X-ray and CT. On X-ray, 18 cases showed soft tissue mass and 12 cases with neoplastic bone and tumor calcification.While on CT, 22 cases showed soft tissue mass on plain scan and 2 more cases displayed soft tissue mass after the injection of contrast mediun. Sixteen cases showed neoplastic bone and tumor calcification on CT.On MRI, there were 10 cases with bone destruction and periosteal reaction with iso- and hypo-intense on T1WI and iso- signals on T2WI. Twenty-six cases showed soft tissue edema and bone marrow on MRI. The soft mass were iso-signals on T1 WI and iso-hyperintense signals on T2 WI or STIR. The soft tissue edema was found hyperintense signals on T2WI or STIR. The lesions had heterogeneous enhancement especially in bone marrow with edema and adjcent soft tissue. Conclusion The X-ray, CT and MRI can reflect the pathological changes of diaphysial osteosarcoma in long bone from different aspects. Lower incidence, large bone destruction and no pathological fracture were the features of diaphysial osteosarcoma. The osteogenic type is diagnosed easily, but the osteolytic lesion should be differentiated from Ewing sarcoma, malignant giant cell tumor of bone and so on.

Can conventional radiographs be used to monitor the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with osteogenic sarcoma?

 Objective. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of conventional radiography in predicting histopathologic response in patients with osteogenic sarcoma who were treated with preoperative chemotherapy. Design and patients. The radiographs of 22 patients with an osteogenic sarcoma, taken before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were reviewed. Tumour location, size, radiographic appearance, margination, cortical destruction and periosteal reaction were evaluated. The findings were correlated with the histopathologic response of the surgical specimen. Results. None of the findings proved to be of predictive value for the histopathologic response. Increase in tumour diameter and increase in ossification and/or calcification, which were seen in more than half of the patients, did not correlate with response. Conclusion. Conventional radiographs do not contribute to the identification of good or poor responders.

Automated quantification of body fat distribution on volumetric computed tomography

OBJECTIVE: To develop a computerized method to automatically quantify visceral and subcutaneous fat distribution within the abdomen and pelvis on volumetric computed tomographic (CT) images. METHODS: Given the slices of interest, the algorithm automatically delineates a contour that separates the visceral fat from the subcutaneous fat on each slice. Explicitly, starting with extraction of the body perimeter, radii at a fixed angle increment are drawn from the perimeter to the center of the body. Along each radius, intensity profile is analyzed to determine the point on the subcutaneous fat layer that is closest to the body center (inner point). All inner points are then connected to form an inner contour, and a specific smoothing algorithm is subsequently applied to correct suboptimal results. Pixels having HU values between -190 and -30 are considered fat pixels. This procedure is repeated on each of the slices of interest. The visceral and subcutaneous fat volumes computed automatically were compared with those after the radiologist's adjustments. Ratios of volumetric visceral fat-to-total fat and visceral fat-to-subcutaneous fat were compared on average and with single-slice measurements obtained at L4 and L5 vertebral body levels. RESULTS: Subcutaneous and visceral fat were automatically segmented using this algorithm on 419 axial CT slices in 9 CT scans (patients) within the abdomen and pelvis. The overall average percentage difference between the automated segmentation and the segmentation edited by the radiologist were 1.54% for the visceral fat and 0.65% for the subcutaneous fat. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary results have shown that total compartmental fat, including visceral and subcutaneous fat, can be automatically and accurately segmented on volumetric CT.     

Osteosarcoma of the lumbosacral spine invading the central venous pathways,right-sided cardiac chambers,and pulmonary artery

We report an unusual case of lumbosacral osteogenic sarcoma with cauda equina syndrome and invasion into the central venous and cardiac system. A 41-year-old Hispanic man presented to the emergency department complaining of severe low back pain, cauda equina syndrome, bilateral lower extremity edema, and an extra heart sound on physical examination. CT of the lumbosacral spine done in the emergency department demonstrated a sclerotic lesion in the sacrum with cortical destruction, extension into the spinal canal and a bulky soft tissue mass containing calcifications. Supplemental MRI demonstrated marrow replacement of L4, L5, and the sacrum, soft tissue extension of the tumor, and invasion iliac veins extending into the IVC; however, the full extent of the intravascular tumor was not seen on this examination. Surgical laminectomy and biopsy of the spinal tumor provided the diagnosis of osteogenic sarcoma. A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed while the patient was recovering due to nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, which showed an echogenic mass within the right atrium and ventricle. CT pulmonary angiogram confirmed the echocardiogram showing a tumor extending through the pulmonary valve into the main pulmonary artery. The patient underwent en bloc resection of the tumor from the venous and cardiac systems. Histologic examination of the tumor confirmed osteogenic sarcoma. While vertebral osteogenic sarcoma is uncommon, invasion of the spinal canal is common in these tumors. However, tumor extending into the central venous and cardiac system is rare. The previously reported cases of central venous and cardiac involvement have been related to distant metastases or primary cardiac osteosarcomas. There is only one other reported case of direct extension into the venous system by an iliac bone osteosarcoma in an adolescent; however, the tumor did not extend into the pulmonary circulation.     

Small-cell osteosarcoma

Small-cell osteosarcoma, a subtype of osteogenic sarcoma, consists of sheets of round cells that produce an osteoid matrix. It may be confused with Ewing sarcoma if the osteoid matrix is not included in the biopsy. The distinctive radiographic features of an osteoblastic tumor and a pattern of permeative destruction will confirm the histologic diagnosis or indicate the true nature if tumor osteoid is not included in the histological sections. We add 13 patients to the 32 previously reported in the literature. Fourteen (31%) of the 45 are living and well, though three have been followed for only 2 months (Tables 1 and 2). The treatments have been so varied that a statistically significant evaluation cannot be developed. The radiographic features are not distinctive, but the diagnosis may be suggested when a tumor has osteoblastic features in the metaphysis and extends well down into the shaft with a pattern of permeative destruction. The radiographic features are especially important when limited biopsies reveal only sheets of round cells, thus suggesting Ewing sarcoma. The presence of an osteoid-producing tumor as evidenced by osteoblastic new bone formation will lead to the correct diagnosis.     

Imaging and clinical spectrum of rhabdomyosarcoma in children

We retrospectively analyzed the MRI findings of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMSA) in 23 patients to evaluate its role in staging and management. Heterogeneous signal abnormalities were noted in the sarcoma lesions with significant contrast enhancement. Seven head and neck cases showed direct bone invasion and destruction; only one had distant bony metastasis. Metastasis was noted in the lymph nodes, lung, bone, abdominoperitoneum, and head and neck soft tissue. MRI findings of RMSA are most helpful in staging and assessing therapeutic response.
