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

Animated GIF showing a photomicrograph of lamellar bone. The layers are accentuated under polarised light.
  • 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

General

Bone marrow biopsy adequacy:[3]

  • 10 intertrabecular spaces or 10 mm.

Microscopic

One should see three cell lines:[4]

  1. Erythroid (red cells).
  2. Myeloid (white blood cells).
  3. Megakaryocytic (platelets).

Adipose tissue:

  • Fat content (%) ~= age in years.[5]
    • e.g. 60 year old will have 60% fatty replacement.

Identifying the cell 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.

Note:

  • Lymphocytes are considered separately and typically spared in bone marrow failure.[7]

Organization

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

Note:

Images

  • Myeloid line. (WC)

Sign out

Essentially normal

Bone Marrow, Posterior Superior Iliac Spine, Biopsy:
- Bone marrow with trilineage hematopoiesis.
- Cellularity within normal limits for age.
- Case will be sent to hematology for consultation and correlation 
  with other testing.

Inadequate

Right Posterior Superior Iliac Spine, Bone Marrow Biopsy:
- Predominantly benign dense fibrous tissue with a small 
  amount of laminar bone, and minute fragment of marrow (<2 mm).
- Case will be sent to hematopathology for further assessment.

Benign variants

Hyperostosis frontalis interna

  • Extra-thick frontal bone.[9]
  • 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.[10]

Risk factors:[10]

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.[11]

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.[12]

Sequestrum

Main article: Sequestrum

Osteoarthritis

Main article: Osteoarthritis

This keeps orthopaedic surgeons busy.

Aneurysmal bone cyst

Main article: Aneurysmal bone cyst

Myositis ossificans

  • AKA fibro-osseous pseudotumour of digits.[13]

General

Epidemiology:

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

Notes:

  • Histologically "worrisome" (for malignancy) - due to high cellularity.[13]

Microscopic

Features:[13]

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

Other features:[14]

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

Paget disease of the bone

Main article: Paget's disease of the bone

Fibrous dysplasia

  • AKA osteitis fibrosa.
Main article: Fibrous dysplasia

Desmoplastic fibroma

General

  • Rare.

Microscopic

Features:[15]

  • Lamellar bone.
  • Fibrotic marrow space with:
    • Collagen.
    • Low cellularity.
    • Spindle cells without significant atypia.

DDx:

Gaucher disease

Main article: Gaucher disease

General

  • May present as a fracture.

Microscopic

  • Macrophages in the marrow space with a "crumpled tissue paper" appearance.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis of bone

  • AKA eosinophilic granuloma of bone.
Main article: Langerhans cell histiocytosis

General

  • Rare.
  • Children.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Eosinophils.
  • Cerebriform and/or reniform macrophages.

Giant cell reparative granuloma

General

  • Lesion of the mandible and maxilla.[16]

Radiology

  • Lytic lesion.

Microscopic

Features:[16]

  • Giant cells.
  • Fibroblasts.
  • Osteoid.
  • Hemosiderin-laden macrophages.

DDx:

Images

  • CGCG - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • CGCG - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

Molecular

Recurrent chromosomal translocation:[17]

  • t(16;17)(q22;p13).

Osteopetrosis

General

  • Rare.
  • Genetic - may be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked.[18]
  • Pancytopenias - due to oblieration of the marrow space.
  • Fractures.
  • Radiologic diagnosis.

Gross

Image:

Microscopic

Features:[20]

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

Image:

Osteoporosis

General

  • Very common.
  • Associated with fractures, esp. wrist, hip & vertebra.[21]
  • Radiologic diagnosis - bone mineral density.

Etiology:[22]

Gross

  • Decreased numbers of, abnormally thin, bony spicules.

Images:

Microscopic

Features (femoral neck):[24]

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

Note:

  • One study looking at iliac bone biopsies suggests trabeculae are no different in osteoporosis.[25]
