bones, w/extremely slow growth rate
(HYPEROSTOSIS FRONTALIS)it may extends
into the orbit or sinuses(Gardner´s
syndrome)Peak incidence: 40-50 years of age

cartilage that originates from epiphyseal growth
plate.

growth at the ends of long bones.
-It may be asymptomatic or cause pain, producing
deformity, and can undergo with malignant
transformation ( rarely)

Classic X ray findings:
-Codman’s triangle ( periosteal elevation)
-Sunburst pattern
-Bone destruction
-Grossly: often involves the metaphyses of long
bones, usually around the knee (distal femur/pro
ximal tibia.) and it may be seen as a large, firm,
white mass with necrosis and hemorrhage.

Malignant Tumors of Bone
.Osteosarcoma
Micro: Anaplastic cells producing osteoid and
bone.
Tx: surgery/ chemotherapy

bone.
It may have also a soap bubble appearance

arising within the marrow cavity
Males are affected slightly more often than
females, most occur in teenagers ( 5-20)
Clinical features: pain , swelling and tenderness
Classic translocation t11;22 which produces the
EWS- FL11 fusion protein
X-ray: concentric onion skin layering of new
periosteal bone.

EWING SARCOMA(cont.)
Gross: often affects the diaphyses of long bones with most
common sites like femur, pelvis and tibia seen a white tan
mass with necrosis and hemorrhage.
Micro: sheets of undifferentiated small round blue cells
resembling lymphocytes.
Characteristic Homer- Wright pseudorosettes
Frequently the tumoral cells erode cortex and periosteum
and invade surrounding tissues.
Tx.: chemotherapy, surgery and/ or radiation
Prognosis: 5 year survival rate of 75%

NEUROMUSCULAR DISORD.
The “motor unit”consists of a lower motor
neuron(anterior horn cell or neuron in cranial
nerve nuclei), its axon and the muscle fibers
innervated by it. The number of muscle fibers
innervated varies from a few fibers(oculo-motor
muscles) to several hundreds(extremity muscles).
Muscles fibers of one motor unit are scattered in a
wide area in a random fashion(“checkerdboard”).
Diseases can be classified as involving:
A. Motor neuron B. Peripheral nerves
C.Neuro muscular junction
D. Muscles

NEUROMUSCULAR DIS.(cont)
A. DISEASES OF MOTOR NEURON.
-Etiology of most of the motor neuron dis.
(AML, progressive muscular atrophy) is not
known, but may be caused by several agents:
adriamycin, vincristine,
aluminiumperikaryon(neuronal cell
body) primarily affected w/loss of
microtubules and nuclear displacement +
increased cytoplasmic neurofilaments or tangled
masses of neurofila- ments. Viral
infections(Polyomyelitis, Herpes encephalitis,
Varicella-zoster) may also affect the motor neuron
or sensory ganglia.www.freelivedoctor.com
NEUROMUSCULAR DISORD.
B. DISEASES OF PERIPHERAL NERVES
I. Axonal degeneration(axonal
neuropathy) a. Wallerian
degeneration(crush/cut along a myelinated fiber)
b.
Axonal degeneration caused by other diseases
(less axoplasm leakage+ more
inflammation + chronic evolution):
1.Proximal
axonal degeneration: intoxic. w/
IDPN(BB-Iminodipropionitrite)shrinkage of
distal axons due to focal proximal blockage.

DISEASES OF PERIPHERAL...(cont.)
Many diseases w/earlier changes in the
most distal portion of axonsslow spread to
proximal structuresperikaryon cannot support
the terminal axon, vgr.:
--Hereditary
neuropathies.
-HSMN I (Charcot-Marie-Tooth)disease, the
MOST common of these, inherited as autosomal-
dominant is usually present
in childhood/early
adulthood(PMP 22 gene/17p11.2-p12 locus),
characterized by progressive atrophy of leg mus-

--Hereditary neuropathies...
-HSMN II(CMT2A) also AD, with similar
manifestations than CMT I but without nerve
enlargement and presentation at a la- ter age.
Linked to chromosome 1p35-p36.
-HSMN III(Dejerine-Sottas disease) is an AR
condition that begins slowly in early childhood w/
delayed acquisition of motor skills and
involvement of muscles of limbs and trunkenlar
gement of nerves easy to
detect. Genetic heteroge nicity(PMP
22, MPZ, PRX and EGR2).

--Acquired metabolic/toxic neuropathies.
-Diabetic peripheral neuropathy:
w/symme tric neuropathy
involving distal sensory/mo tor
nerves + dysfunction of autonomic nervous
system(20-40% of cases).It can also present as a
single peripheral or cranial
neuroneuropathy(oculomotor nerve).
