[Tumor-like lesions].

Tumor-like bone lesions include various conditions of a non-neoplastic nature originating from or affecting the bone as solitary or sometimes multiple bone lesions. This review discusses the most important cystic tumor-like lesions, such as simple bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst, intraosseous ganglion, epidermoid cyst and subchondral cyst. MR is the most sensitive method of detection, and is the most accurate in depicting the extent of involvement of these lesions. MR signal characteristics may aid in differential diagnosis. Conventional radiographs are often more specific with respect to the underlying histopathology.

Skeletal metastasis in tricholemmal carcinoma.

Tricholemmal carcinoma is an extremely rare cutaneous adnexal tumor, not exceeding 1-2 cm in diameter in some reported cases. The few reports describe only a greater histologic malignancy. Some cases of recurrences have been reported, and metastasis of the soft tissue was described once by Amaral et al in 1984. In the current patient with tricholemmal carcinoma of the right distal thigh, the primary tumor was unusually large. The first detected metastasis was localized in the right inguinal lymph nodes. Five years after diagnosis of tricholemmal carcinoma a metastasis of the left tibia and fibula were diagnosed. To our knowledge, an osseous metastasis in tricholemmal carcinoma has not been described. It is possible that a relationship between the extraordinary size and the osseous metastasis exists in the current patient.

Differential diagnosis of benign tumors and tumor-like lesions in the spine. Own cases and review of the literature.

Although benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the spine are shown in every orthopedic teaching book, it is often surprising how little attention is paid to the differential diagnosis and diagnostic investigations, respectively, since surgical treatment and postoperative control depends on exact diagnosis. Clinically the importance of this fact can not be over-emphasized. The most common complaint is pain, either local or radicular in nature. Bone deviations are diagnosed radiologically. Different types of benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions of the spine including osteochondroma, osteoblastoma, osteoid osteoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, eosinophilic granuloma, hemangioma, and giant cell tumor, their appearance relation to the age and location in the spine were reviewed and the common histologic subtypes described. Clinical, laboratory and histopathologic findings, radiologic inclusive MRT and scintigraphic features are evaluated. Diagnostic investigations including the invasive techniques of CT guided needle biopsy, Yamshidi needle biopsy and costotransversectomy for biopsy are shown. Treatment including radiation, chemotherapy and the surgical procedure as well as the postoperative treatment of patients with benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the spine are discussed.
