Synovial chondromatosisMonoarticular synovial proliferative disease in which cartilaginous or osteocartilaginousmetaplasia occurs within the synovialmembrane of joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths.Three phases: (1) early, with synovial chondrometaplasia but no loose bodies, (2) transitional, with active synovial disease and loose bodies, and (3) late, with loose bodies but no synovialdisease.
Routine investigations - X-ray, arthroscopy, CT scan, & MRI.
common in the knee and hip, but almost any joint, bursa, or tendon sheath may be affected.
Treatment is controversial; synovectomy and removal of the loose bodies,simple removal of the loose bodies, either by arthroscopy or open operation.
Recurrence after surgery is not unusual, and there are rare reports of malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma.

Fibromatosis
Many fibrous proliferative lesions recur after removal but do not metastasize. As a group these are known as the fibromatoses. Many have been defined precisely and have been named, but occasionally one is encountered that can be recognized as a fibromatosis but cannot be classified exactly.
• Desmoid tumors.• Fibromatosis colli (congenital torticollis). • Keloid.• Irradiation fibromatosis.• Palmar and plantar fascial fibromatoses.• Peyronie disease.• Juvenile aponeurotic fibroma.• Elastofibroma dorsi.• Progressive myositis fibrosa.• Congenital generalized fibromatosis.• Infantile dermal fibromatosis.• Fibrous hamartoma of infancy.
Desmoid tumors are locally aggressive lesions of connective tissue origin.
Infiltrate surrounding tissues and have a marked propensity for persistence.
These lesions occur most frequently in the anterior abdominal wall of women who have borne children.
In other locations are often known as extraabdominaldesmoids.
They are highly collagenizedand rather sparsely cellular and infiltrate the muscle in which they develop.
Grossly they are dense, hard, rubbery, and grayish white.
Extraabdominal desmoids occur most frequently in the shoulder girdle, arm, thigh, neck, pelvis, forearm, and popliteal fossa.
The natural history is usually a slow, relentless growth with invasion of contiguous structures.
Spontaneous regression does occur, reported 29% of patients treated by partial excision were without evidence of disease at last follow-up.
Metastases have been reported but are extremely rare.
Most institutions currently recommend wide or marginal excision followed by radiotherapy.
Regression following the use of indomethacin and ascorbic acid, tamoxifen and testolactone, and chlorothiazide has been reported.

Heamengiomas• Cavernous hemangiomas consist of widely dilated
vessels or thicker vessels that may resemble veins; Hemangiomas occur deep in skeletal muscle and other soft tissues of the extremities.
• Recur unless completely removed. • Occasionally a histologically benign hemangioma
stubbornly persists after surgery and becomes disabling. Some intramuscular hemangiomas are infiltrative and most difficult to excise except by radical surgery. Unlike many soft tissue tumors, hemangiomas may be quite painful.

OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS OF KNEE
• The classic medial femoral condyle localization had a better prognosis than an unusual one.
• Patients with no effusion, a lesion less than 20 mm, and no gross detachment had significantly better results after conservative treatment than those who had undergone operation. If signs of detachment were present, the results were better after operativethan after conservative treatment.
• Arthroscopic drilling of osteochondritis dissecans lesions -no signs of improvement after 6 months of conservative treatment.
• MRI is a highly sensitive method for detection of unstable osteochondritis dissecans. The presence of an underlying high-signal-intensity line, cystic area, or a focal articular defect indicates instability and may help in preoperative planning. Whether the lesion is drilled, excised, curetted, replaced and pinned, or bone grafted depends on the size, stability, and weight-bearing nature of the lesion, which can be determined only at surgery.
The loose body was found free & was removed arthroscopically
Multiple myeloma
• Multiple myeloma is the most common primary malignancy of bone.
• 43% of primary malignancies of bone.• Its peak incidence is in the fifth through seventh
decades with a 2:1 male predominance. • Multiple myeloma and metastatic carcinoma
should be included in the differential diagnosis for any patient over the age of 40 with a new bone tumor.

Osteoid Osteoma• Benign neoplasm most often seen in young males. • Found in the first three decades of life, but an occasional lesion has
been reported in older patients. • Almost any bone can be involved, although there is a predilection for
the lower extremity, with half the cases involving the femur or tibia. • The tumor may be found in cortical or cancellous bone, producing a
distinct roentgenographic appearance of cortical sclerosis; 5% of tumors are subperiosteal.
• Multicentric foci have been reported. • No malignant change has ever been documented. The typical
patient has pain that is worse at night and relieved by aspirin.• When the lesion is near a joint, swelling, stiffness, and contracture
may occur. When in a vertebra, scoliosis may occur. • Occasionally, osteoid osteoma occurs with minimal pain. In children,
overgrowth and angular deformities may occur.
Osteoid Osteoma• Routine roentgenograms often are diagnostic,
but bone scans or CT are often required to localize the lesion accurately.
• CT may detect the nidus, whereas roentgenograms show only sclerosis.
• A bone scan is helpful in detecting the "double-density sign," which is a focal area of increased activity with a second smaller area of increased uptake superimposed on it, is said to be diagnostic of osteoid osteoma.
Osteoid Osteoma - Tx• The entire nidus must be removed. • Block resection of the nidus. • An alternative method - shave the reactive bone
with a sharp osteotome until the nidus is encountered, then curet the exposed nidus.
• Intraoperative localization of the nidus is possible with preoperatively injected technetium-labeled methylene diphosphonate and a sterile, wrapped Geiger counter.
• If block excision is performed, intraoperativeroentgenograms of the specimen.
Osteoid Osteoma - Tx• Excision of the osteoid osteoma nidus using CT–assisted
localization, a Kirschner wire inserted into the nidus, and a biopsy punch inserted over the Kirschner wire into the bone.
• They recommend using a trephine 2 mm larger than the lesion for complete removal.
• Recurrence after apparently complete excision has been reported but is rare.
• Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteomas.
• Spontaneous disappearance of osteoid osteomas after extended observation and treatment of symptoms.

Osteochondroma• The most common of the benign bone tumors. • They are probably developmental malformations rather
than true neoplasms and are thought to originate within the periosteum as small cartilaginous nodules.
• The lesions consist of a bony mass, often in the form of a stalk, produced by progressive endochondralossification of a growing cartilaginous cap.
• Most lesions are found during the period of rapid skeletal growth. About 90% of patients have only a single lesion. Osteochondromas may occur on any bone preformed in cartilage but usually are found on the metaphysis of a long bone near the physis. They are seen most often on the distal femur, the proximal tibia, and the proximal humerus. Rarely do they develop in a joint.
Lipoma• Lipomas most common benign tumors of connective
tissue. • They may occur at any age and in either sex.• These tumors usually develop subcutaneously but may
involve the deeper structures. They occasionally affect the synovium (lipoma arborescens) and rarely the periosteum.
• Clinically they are soft, circumscribed, movable masses that are painless and grow slowly.
• On roentgenograms the larger ones appear as discrete radiolucent areas within soft tissue.
• Grossly a lipoma is a well-encapsulated nodule of fat that may contain fibrous tissue.
• Microscopically it is composed of mature fat cells.
Fibromas• Most of these lesions are found in the upper
extremity and are 1 to 2 cm in diameter. • They differ histologically from giant cell tumor of
tendon sheath by the absence of xanthoma cells and giant cells.
• Proper treatment is marginal excision. • In the hand, persistence as high as 24% has
been reported. • Reexcision of the recurrence has been curative
in most patients.
Fibromas
NONOSSIFYING FIBROMA• Nonossifying fibromas have the same histological
structure as fibrous cortical defects, but they are larger. • Most occur in children and adolescents between the
ages of 10 and 20 years. • The roentgenographic appearance usually is
characteristic. • The osteolytic area is eccentrically located and oval.
Multilocular appearance or ridges in the bony wall, sclerotic scalloped borders, and erosion of the cortex are frequent findings.
• CT & biopsy be necessary for diagnosis. • Regress spontaneously.

Fibrous cortical defects• Fibrous cortical defects, although classified as
bone tumors, are probably developmental abnormalities and are believed to occur in as many as 35% of children.
• Found incidentally. • Metaphyseal region of long bones in ages of 2
and 20 years and occur predominantly in males. Approximately 40% are found in the femur, 40% in the proximal tibia, and 10% in the fibula, although some occur in the upper extremity, clavicle, ilium, ribs, vertebrae, skull, mandible, or small bones of the hand and feet.
Fibro-cortical defects
Paget diseasePaget disease is an entity of unknown cause characterized by
osteoclastic resorption of bone followed by osteoblastic regeneration of a primitive woven bone.
These processes may result in (1)a roentgenographic appearance simulating a malignant tumor, (2) deformity, or (3) a pathological fracture of a long bone. Biopsy may be required to establish the diagnosis. Intraosseous
arteriovenous shunts may develop and lead to impressive bleeding during surgical procedures on involved bone. Bowing deformities of long bones may make internal fixation of pathological fractures technically difficult.
Nerves passing through foramina in "pagetoid" bone may be entrapped and lead to troublesome symptoms. Occasionally decompressivesurgical procedures may be indicated. Sarcomatous change in pagetoid bone is not rare (Fig. 23-15).
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
• Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disease apparently of the mesodermal tissues with abnormal or deficient collagen that has been demonstrated in bone, skin, sclerae, and dentine. The so-called diagnostic triad of blue sclerae, dentinogenesisimperfecta, and generalized osteoporosis in a patient with multiple fractures or bowing of the long bones usually is used clinically.
Osteopetrosis• osteopetrosis is failure of osteoclastic and
chondroclastic resorption;- bones become exceedingly dense;- marrow space is filled with unresorbed dense
bone;• There is absence of marrow elements & these
patients are susceptible to infectious diseases.• Most common is osteomyelitis of Mendible.• Sub trochanteric fractures are common and
usually ends up in nonunion

Caused by overactivity of the parathyroid glands, usually resulting from neoplasm or hyperplasia of the glands.
The symptoms may be renal, psychiatric, or skeletal. The skeletal change usually is limited to diffuse demineralization. Only rarely does the change become markedly focal and produce a "brown tumor“.
Blood tests - serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase,and hyperparathyroid hormone levels.
Sonography of neck for adenoma and abdomen for stones.
HYPERPARATHYROIDISM
In hyperparathyroidism: Histopathology (1) the giant cells are a little smaller, often occurring in a
somewhat nodular arrangement, especially around areas of hemorrhage;
(2) the stromal cells are more spindle shaped and delicate; and
(3) evidence of osseous metaplasia within the stroma is prominent.
The bone surrounding the lesion should also be examined;
in hyperparathyroidism it may show intense osteoclasticand osteoblastic activity associated with peritrabecular
fibrosis.
"BROWN TUMOR" OF HYPERPARATHYROIDISM
Neurofibromatosis• Neurofibromas occur as a manifestation of von
Recklinghausen disease, in which many such tumors may be found associated with café au laitspots and various other lesions. Sometimes a special type of neurofibroma occurs in which entire peripheral nerves are involved, this is referred to as a plexiform neurofibroma, and excising it completely may be impossible. Other manifestations of neurofibromatosis are hypertrophy of soft tissue, including the skin, hypertrophy of bone, scoliosis, bone cysts, and other abnormalities.

Neurilemoma is typically a solitary encapsulated lesion that may be cystic when it is as large as 3 to 4 cm in diameter.
Usually it involves one of the larger peripheral nerves.
There may be little if any neurological deficit. Often the lesion simply spreads the nerve fibers apart without anatomical or functional interruption, so the tumor can be removed by careful blunt dissection after a longitudinal incision in the perineurium.
Thus there may be little if any increase in the dysfunction of the nerve after surgery. Occasionally the tumor may recur, but usually the lesion or recurrent lesion can be removed without sacrificing a significant number of nerve fibers. Excision that interrupts the continuity of the nerve should be avoided. Often there is cystic degeneration in the center of the nerve.
