  • This Guide to Chondrosarcoma Was Authored By
    This Guide to chondrosarcoma was authored by DAVIDE DONATI M.D. LUCA SANGIORGI M.D., PH.D., Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Bologna Italy & The MHE Research Foundation. What is chondrosarcoma? The term chondrosarcoma is used to define an heterogeneous group of lesions with diverse features and clinical behavior. Chondrosarcoma is a malignant cancer that results in abnormal bone and cartilage growth. People who have chondrosarcoma have a tumor growth starting from the medullary canal of a long and flat bone. However, in some cases the lesion can occur as an abnormal bony type of bump, which can vary in size and location. Primary chondrosarcoma (or conventional chondrosarcoma) usually develops centrally in a previously normal bone. Secondary chondrosarcoma is a chondrosarcoma arising from a benign precursor such as Exostoses, Osteochondromas or Enchondromas. Although rare, chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary bone cancer. The malignant cartilage cells begin growing within or on the bone (central chondrosarcoma) or, rarely, secondarily within the cartilaginous cap of a pre-existing Exostoses (peripheral chondrosarcoma). Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue. It is composed of cells called chondrocytes which are dispersed in a firm gel-like substance, called the matrix. Cartilage is normally found in the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, in the throat and between intervertebral disks. There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage. It is important to understand the difference between a benign and malignant cartilage tumor. Chondrosarcoma is a sarcoma, (i.e.) a malignant tumor of connective tissue. A chondroma, is the benign counterpart. Benign bone tumors do not spread to other tissues and organs, and are not life threatening.

Management of these tumors in the long bones is shifting towards active surveillance, as negative side effects of surgical treatment seem to outweigh the potential benefits. To support development of evidence-based guidelines for active surveillance, we studied the natural course of enchondroma and ACTs in the long bones. In this study, MRI analysis of 128 cases was performed with a minimum interval of 24 months between baseline and last MRI. Our data showed that the majority of the cartilaginous tumors (87%) remained stable or Citation: Deckers, C.; Rooy, J.W.J.d.; showed regression on MRI.

  • Musculoskeletal Radiology
    MUSCULOSKELETAL RADIOLOGY Developed by The Education Committee of the American Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology 1997-1998 Charles S. Resnik, M.D. (Co-chair) Arthur A. De Smet, M.D. (Co-chair) Felix S. Chew, M.D., Ed.M. Mary Kathol, M.D. Mark Kransdorf, M.D., Lynne S. Steinbach, M.D. INTRODUCTION The following curriculum guide comprises a list of subjects which are important to a thorough understanding of disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system. It does not include every musculoskeletal condition, yet it is comprehensive enough to fulfill three basic requirements: 1.to provide practicing radiologists with the fundamentals needed to be valuable consultants to orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and other referring physicians, 2.to provide radiology residency program directors with a guide to subjects that should be covered in a four year teaching curriculum, and 3.to serve as a “study guide” for diagnostic radiology residents. To that end, much of the material has been divided into “basic” and “advanced” categories. Basic material includes fundamental information that radiology residents should be able to learn, while advanced material includes information that musculoskeletal radiologists might expect to master. It is acknowledged that this division is somewhat arbitrary. It is the authors’ hope that each user of this guide will gain an appreciation for the information that is needed for the successful practice of musculoskeletal radiology. I.

Orthopedic Surgery, Harbor-University of California Los Angeles Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA 3. Pathology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA Corresponding author: J. Manuel Sarmiento, [email protected] Abstract Chondromas are rare, benign tumors composed of cartilaginous tissue that mainly affect the metaphases of long tubular bones. Juxtacortical (periosteal) chondromas arise from the surface of periosteum and rarely affect the cervical spine. We present a patient with a spinal juxtacortical chondroma causing spinal cord compression and a cervical deformity treated with surgical resection and circumferential spinal fixation and stabilization. A 55-year-old female with past medical history of Crohn’s disease with years of neck pain, balance issues, and left upper extremity radicular symptoms. Cervical spine x-rays show kyphosis with an apex at C5, degenerative changes of the endplates and facet joints, and grade 2 anterolisthesis C4 on C5 with no abnormal motion with flexion/extension. MRI showed a left sided C5-6 extramedullary mass measuring 11 x 11 x 15 mm causing spinal cord compression and neural foraminal narrowing. Her pain is worsening and refractory to physical therapy, gabapentin and methocarbamol. A C4-5 & C5-6 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, C4-5 & C5-6 laminectomy for tumor resection, and C4-5 & C5-6 posterior fusion with instrumentation was performed.

The catabolites and metabolites in these metabolic pathways are crucial for many cellular functions; therefore, an imbalance and/or dysregulation of these pathways causes cellular dysfunction, resulting in various metabolic diseases. Bone, a highly mineralized organ that serves as a skeleton of the body, undergoes continuous active turnover, which is required for the maintenance of healthy bony components through the deposition and resorption of bone matrix and minerals. This highly coordinated event is regulated throughout life by bone cells such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, and requires synchronized activities from different metabolic pathways. Here, we aim to provide a comprehensive review of the cellular metabolism involved in bone development and homeostasis, as revealed by mouse genetic studies.
