Radiology-pathological Correlation of Primary Benign Bone Tumors: A Retrospective Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Benign primary bone tumors are relatively rare, which create some difficulty for diagnosis and treatment. Benign bone tumors occur most frequently between the ages of 5-25 years and in the areas of greatest bone growth, with about 60% of cases in the knee region. Aim: The aim is to study the radiological and pathological correlation of benign bone tumors. Materials and Methods: We have reported 62 cases of bone tumors during the study of 5 years in the Department of Pathology, Thoothukudi Medical College, India. The cases were thoroughly studied by histopathology and 28 cases were diagnosed as benign tumors among which 8 cases were benign osteoid-producing and 20 cases were diagnosed as benign cartilage-producing tumors conclusively. The histopathology diagnosis was correlated with the radiological features. Results: In benign bone tumors, osteochondroma was the most common neoplasm. Computed tomography scan established the best choice in studying cortical lesions and nidus in osteoid osteoma. Magnetic resonance imaging can delineate the medullary extent. Multinucleated giant cells were seen in sections of chondroblastoma. Histopathology provided the final, conclusive diagnosis. The most common benign bone tumor occurring in children is osteochondromas, representing 10-15% of all bone tumors and 20-50% of all benign bone tumors. Conclusion: Benign bone tumors frequently pose a diagnostic challenge for general surgical pathologists. Accurate pathologic diagnosis requires careful clinical, radiological, and histopathological correlation.
