48. Fibrous dysplasia
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign disorder characterized
by tumor-like proliferation of fibro-osseus tissue and
can look like anything.
FD most commonly presents as a long lesion in a
long bone.
FD is often purely lytic and takes on ground-glass
look as the matrix calcifies.
In many cases there is bone expansion and bone
deformity.
The ipsilateral proximal femur is invariably affected
when the pelvis is involved.
When FD in the tibia is considered, adamantinoma
should be in the differential diagnosis.
79. Fibrosarcoma is an uncommon, malignant
spindle cell neoplasm which can present
with different degrees of differentiation.
Fibrosarcoma is found most commonly
around the knee in the distal femur and
proximal tibia followed by the pelvis.
It presents in adults age 30 to 60 years old
and affects men and women equally.
It presents as a painful, localized mass.
The radiologic picture of fibrosarcoma is that
of an osteolytic lesion.
83. Adamantinoma is one of the rarest low-grade malignant
bone tumours, representing less than 1% of them. Fisher
in 1913 named this tumour adamantinoma because of its
similarity to ameloblastoma of the jaw. It usually arises in
the center of long bones, and 97% of all reported cases
were in long tubular bones and mainly in the tibial mid
shaft (80-85%). Other long bones not uncommonly
affected are the humerus, ulna, femur, fibula and radius.
Ribs, spine, metatarsal and carpal bones are very rarely
affected. The symptoms are not specific but most
frequently the patient complains about swelling, redness,
pain and sensitivity of the bone where the tumour is
located. Young males are more prone to develop
adamantinoma than females. The tumour usually spreads
to the lungs, the regional lymph nodes, or other bones.
86. Bone marrow affection in NHL is about
25% - 90%
More aggressive type in older patients
50Y.
