3. •Chronic osteomyelitis is infection in a bone
•Infections can reach bone by travelling through
the blood stream or spreading from nearby
tissue.
4. Gross
• Sequestrum is dead bone with irregular edges
• A shell of new bone called involucrum may cover the sequestrum.
• The involucrum is smooth and ivory white colour
5. Microscopic (histologic) description
• Necrotic bone
• Inflammatory infiltrate rich in plasma cells
• Fibrosis, variable
• Granulomas, in cases of tuberculosis or fungal infection

10. OSTEOSARCOMA
• It is the most common primary bone tumour.
• Mostly seen in <20 years of age
• MEN >>WOMEN
• Most commonly involves metaphyseal region of long bones of
extremities.
11.
12. Gross Appearance
• The tumour appears large, bulky, grey-white, gritty mass with areas of
haemorrhage and cystic degeneration.
• The tumour frequently invades cortex and lifts the periosteum
resulting in reactive periosteal bone formation
• Radiologically the triangular shadow between cortex and raised ends
of periosteum is called CODMAN’S TRAINGLE often characteristic of
this tumour.
20. FIBROSARCOMA
• Common age group is 20-50 years.
• Males>>females
• 80-90% occurs in soft tissues
• Metastasis is uncommon
• It is radioresistant
21. GROSS EXAMINATION
• Fibrosarcoma may be well circumscribed , bulky, poorly defined
masses.
• Cut section reveals soft, pearly greyish white tissue masses
resembling raw flesh .
• Areas of haemorrhage and necrosis may also be seen
22. • May appear well circumscribed but nonencapsulated
• Fleshy, hemorrhagic, necrotic, white-tan
24. Fibrosarcoma
• Microscopic (histologic) description
• Highly cellular fibroblastic proliferation in herringbone pattern (cells in
columns of short parallel lines with all the lines in one column sloping
one way and lines in adjacent columns sloping the other way)
• Cells have scant cytoplasm, tapering elongated dark nuclei with
increased granular chromatin, variable nucleoli
• Mitotic activity present, often with abnormal forms
• Variable collagen
• Usually no giant cells
• No pleomorphism (or call pleomorphic MFH), no other distinct cell
type
34. • Most common sites are mandible and maxilla
• Seen in 4th and 5th decade of life
• Arise from the epithelial lining of dentigerous cyst, remnants of dental
lamina, enamel.
35. GROSS APPEARANCE
•The tumour is grey white mass , usually
solid, sometimes cystic and replaces the
affected bone.
36. Microscopy
• There may be several histological patterns.
• Follicular pattern is the most common pattern.
• Follicular pattern is characterized by follicles of varying size and
shapes which are separated bt fibrous tissue
• The follicles are lined by cuboidal or columnar cells and show central
area of stellate cells.
