Imaging of Osteochondromas Suspected of Malignant Transformation
Osteochondroma is regarded as the most common benign osseous neoplasm, which is a developmental anomaly, rather than a true neoplasm. Findings such as increase in size of a previously stable osteochondroma, irregular or indistinct margins, development of areas of lysis or erosions, or a soft ti...

| description | Osteochondroma is regarded as the most common benign
osseous neoplasm, which is a developmental anomaly,
rather than a true neoplasm. Findings such as increase in
size of a previously stable osteochondroma, irregular or
indistinct margins, development of areas of lysis or erosions,
or a soft tissue mass with or without foci of calcifications on
radiography or Computed Tomography (CT) are suggestive
of malignant transformation. Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) is useful in demonstrating pressure effects on adjacent
soft tissues and in detection and characterization of
cartilaginous cap, which when measures more than 2cm in
thickness is highly suggestive of malignant transformation. |
