Correlative radiographic, scintigraphic, and histological evaluation of exostoses.
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume 1984 December
We reviewed the cases of twenty-four patients with solitary or multiple exostoses to correlate their radiographic, scintigraphic, and histological evaluations. We studied twenty-five excised lesions, two of them exostotic chondrosarcomas, from twenty-two patients. There were two patterns of bone-scan activity and there was a direct correlation between enchondral bone formation and radionuclide uptake in all patients, both skeletally immature and mature. So-called quiescent lesions--those with inactive scans--were those that lacked histological evidence of enchondral bone formation. Those with increased uptake--active exostoses--all demonstrated active formation of enchondral bone. Evidence of active exostotic growth could be demonstrated on bone scans well beyond the time of skeletal maturity. The bone scan did not qualitatively differentiate the benign active exostoses from the two lesions with malignant degeneration. Increased uptake related to enchondral bone formation was a feature of both. An inactive scan, however, seemed to exclude the possibility of malignant degeneration in the exostosis.
