57. The most common subtype is osteosarcoma that arises in the metaphysis of long bones; is primary, solitary, intramedullary, and poorly differentiated; and produces a predominantly bony matrix www.freelivedoctor.com
96. www.freelivedoctor.com Classification of Gout Clinical Category Metabolic Defect Primary Gout (90% of cases) Enzyme defects unknown (85%–90% of primary gout) ■ Overproduction of uric acid Normal excretion (majority) Increased excretion (minority) Underexcretion of uric acid with normal production Known enzyme defects—e.g., partial HGPRT deficiency (rare) ■ Overproduction of uric acid Secondary Gout (10% of cases) Associated with increased nucleic acid turnover—e.g., leukemias ■ Overproduction of uric acid with increased urinary excretion Chronic renal disease ■ Reduced excretion of uric acid with normal production Inborn errors of metabolism—e.g., complete HGPRT deficiency (Lesch-Nyhan syndrome) ■ Overproduction of uric acid with increased urinary excretion HGPRT, hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase.
Intramembranous and Endochondral ossification, note: 1 , Reserve zone. 2 , Zone of proliferation. 3 , Zone of hypertrophy. 4 , Zone of mineralization. 5 , Primary spongiosa.
Achondroplastic and thanatophoric dwarfs
Diffusely DENSE bone with Erlenmeyer Flask deformity of distal humerus
GCT occurs in patients, 20s-40-s, and GCT has a MACROPHAGE lineage
Biurate has the OPPOSITE polarization pattern of pyrophosphate. In GOUT, as seen here, the yellow needles are vertical and the blue needles are horizontal, under polarization. IN PSEUDOGOUT, the OPPOSITE is seen.
These diseases are related, but PVN appears as shaggy or “villous” projections of synovium, and GCT is a solid tumor. BOTH are regarded as BENIGN proliferations of synovium and reactive cells.
What is a herring bone pattern?
The MAIN difference between leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas is the number of mitoses per high power field! How many do you see here?
