Bone is a scaffold it bears weight and occasionally gets infected.

Tumours often spread to bone and occasionally arise in bone. Bone tumours are dealt with in the bone tumours article.

Normal bone

Bone anatomy

  • Epiphysis = rounded end of the bone.
  • Metaphysis = between epiphysis and diaphysis; contains epiphyseal plate - site of growth in childhood.
  • Diaphysis = shaft, mid-portion, contains bone marrow.

Image

  • Bone. (WC)

Bone histology

Two types (based on arrangement of collagen):

  1. Woven bone.
  2. Lamellar bone.

Woven bone

  • Always abnormal in adults.
  • Collagen arranged haphazardly - mechanically weak.

Images:

Lamellar bone

  • Collagen organized in layers (lamellae).

Woven versus lamellar

  • Easiest way to differentiate: polarize; lamellar bone has well-defined layers.

Bone cells

  • Osteocytes.
    • Sit in lacunae.
      • Empty lacunae = necrotic bone.
  • Osteoblasts.
    • Make bone.
  • Osteoclasts.
    • Destroy bone.
    • Multinucleated.

Memory device: 'b' before 'c'.

Bone marrow

Main article: Haematopoiesis
  • One should see three cell lines:[4]
    1. Erythroid (red cells).
    2. Myeloid (white blood cells).
    3. Megakaryocytic (platelets).

Note: Lymphocytes are considered separately and typically spared in bone marrow failure.[5]

Identifying the lines:[6]

  1. Megakaryocytes:
    • Big cells ~ 3x the size of a RBC.
  2. Normoblasts (RBC precursors):
    • Hyperchromatic, i.e. blue, nucleus.
  3. Myeloid line:
    • Granules.
    • Reniform nucleus, i.e. kidney bean shaped nucleus.

Images

  • Myeloid line. (WC)

Organization

  • Mature hematopoeitic cells at the centre (distant from bone).
  • Immature hematopoeitic cells adjacent to the bone.

Note:

Benign variants

Hyperostosis frontalis interna

  • Extra-thick frontal bone.[8]
  • No clinical significance -- just has to be recognized as a "nothing".

Infections

Acute osteomyelitis

General

Pathophysiology/entry:

  • Hematogenous - often in children.
  • Direct entry (skin defect) - adults with diabetes.

Microscopic

Features:

  • PMNs.
  • Micro-organisms - esp. cocci.

Image:

Stains

Chronic osteomyelitis

General

Most common organism:

  • Staphylococcus aureus.[9]

Risk factors:[9]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Plasma cells - key feature.
    • May be sterile, i.e. no organisms.
  • +/-Fibrosis.
  • +/-Necrotic bone - bone with empty lacunae.
  • +/-Amyloid.
    • ~10% of patients in one series.[10]

LOWER LEG, RIGHT, BELOW KNEE AMPUTATION:
- ACUTE AND CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS.
- MODERATE ATHEROSCLEROSIS.
- SKIN ULCERATION.
- SOFT TISSUE SURGICAL MARGIN WITH FAT NECROSIS AND MUSCULAR ATROPHY.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Bone tumours

Main article: Bone tumours

This is a big topic. It is dealt with in a separate article.

The bone tumour article covers tumour mimics, e.g. brown cell tumour.

Fractures

Main article: Bone fractures

This is dealt with in the forensic pathology article.

Others

The following is a collection of stuff that doesn't really fit in another category or is just weird.

A general DDx for cystic bone lesions is found on radipedia.com.[11]

Osteoarthritis

Main article: Osteoarthritis

This keeps orthopaedic surgeons busy.

Aneurysmal bone cyst

  • Abbreviated ABC.
Also see giant cell reparative granuloma (AKA solid aneurysmal bone cyst).

General

Features:[12]

  • Benign.
    • May grow rapidly.
  • Osteolysis -> cystic space -> filled with blood.
  • Relatively common; in children second only to osteosarcoma.[13]

Gross/radiologic

Features:[14]

  • Air-fluid levels (radiology).
  • Usually metaphysis of long bones, but uncommonly the femur.
  • May have an "aggressive" appearance, i.e. erode bone.

Microscopic

Features:[12]

  • Bony trabeculae or osteoid tissue.
  • Osteoclast giant cells.
    • Multi-nucleated giant-cells with round randomly arranged nuclei.
  • Benign spindle cells (fibroblasts) - surround bone/adjacent to the giant cells - important.
  • Blood +/- surrounded by giant cells.

DDx:

Images

  • ABC - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • ABC - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

Myositis ossificans

  • AKA fibro-osseous pseudotumour of digits.[15]

General

Epidemiology:

  • Young people.
  • History of trauma - typically.
  • Extremities - digits (fingers, toes).

Notes:

  • Histologically "worrisome" (for malignancy) - due to high cellularity.[15]

Microscopic

Features:[15]

  • High cellularity.
  • Low mitotic activity.
  • No atypical mitoses.
  • No hyperchromasia.

Other features:[16]

  • Low power diagnosis:
    • Lesion is well-circumscribed.
    • Normal muscle is adjacent to the lesion - key feature.

Molecular

Recurrent chromosomal translocation:[19]

  • t(16;17)(q22;p13).

Osteopetrosis

General

  • Rare.
  • Genetic - may be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked.[20]
  • Pancytopenias - due to oblieration of the marrow space.
  • Fractures.
  • Radiologic diagnosis.

Gross

Image:

Microscopic

Features:[22]

  • Abundant irregular (pink) bony trabeculae with layers of (blue-gray) cartilage.

Osteoporosis

General

  • Very common.
  • Associated with fractures, esp. wrist, hip & vertebra.[23]
  • Radiologic diagnosis - bone mineral density.

Etiology:[24]

  • Decreased numbers of, abnormally thin, bony spicules.

Images:

Microscopic

Features (femoral neck):[26]

  • Thinner cortex.
  • Decreased trabecular thickness
  • Decreased number of trabeculae.

Note:

  • One study looking at iliac bone biopsies suggests trabeculae are no different in osteoporosis.[27]
