Osteoblastoma
KEY FACTS
TERMINOLOGY
• Benign tumor that forms osteoid
• Differentiated grossly from osteoid osteoma by larger size
(> 1.5 cm)
IMAGING
• 40% of osteoblastomas occur in spine
• Well-circumscribed, expansile lesion of neural arch
○ Frequent extension into vertebral body
○ Narrow zone of transition, sclerotic rim
• Periosteal inflammatory response of adjacent ribs, pleural
thickening, effusion
• Peritumoral edema (flare phenomenon)
Neoplasms, Cysts, and Other Masses
○ On MR, edema enhances, obscures tumor margins, and
mimics malignancy
TOP DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
• Osteoid osteoma
• Aneurysmal bone cyst
(Left) Axial graphic shows
expansile, highly vascular
osteoblastoma (OB) ſt arising
in the right lamina and
impinging on the exiting nerve
root. (Right) Axial bone CT in
the same patient shows an
expansile mass ſt containing
thin, irregular bone trabeculae
that is characteristic of OB.
Although cortical
breakthrough is present, the
zone of transition to adjacent
bone is narrow and sclerotic.
• Metastasis
• Osteogenic sarcoma
• Chordoma
• Infection
PATHOLOGY
• Tumor prostaglandins release causes extensive peritumoral
edema
CLINICAL ISSUES
• 90% in 2nd-3rd decades of life
• Dull, localized pain
• Painful scoliosis
• Neurologic symptoms due to compression of cord, nerve
roots
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST
• May be occult on radiographs; consider MR in young
patients with painful scoliosis
270
(Left) Axial T2WI MR shows an
osteoblastoma of L5 with
characteristic heterogeneous
signal intensity. The bony
matrix is low signal. There is
edema in the adjacent
vertebral body. (Right)
Sagittal bone CT shows
expansile lower thoracic OB
extending from the lamina
into the spinal canal. The
lesion is sharply circumscribed
and bilobed, involving 2
adjacent levels.

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst
KEY FACTS
Neoplasms, Cysts, and Other Masses
IMAGING
• 10-30% of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) occur in spine and
sacrum
• Centered in neural arch, extends into vertebral body
• Balloon-like expansile remodeling of bone
○ Thinned, "eggshell" cortex
○ Focal cortical destruction common
• Absent pedicle sign: Expansion of pedicle results in loss of
pedicle contour on AP radiographs
• Contains multiple round cysts with fluid-fluid levels
○ Caused by hemorrhage, blood product sedimentation
• Blood-filled cysts separated by septa of varying thickness
○ Periphery and septa enhance
○ Solid ABC variant enhances diffusely
• Calcified tumor matrix absent
• Narrow, nonsclerotic zone of transition with adjacent bone
• CT best to differentiate from telangiectatic osteogenic
sarcoma
○ Narrow zone of transition in ABC
○ Absence of infiltration into surrounding soft tissues
• MR shows epidural extent, cord compromise
TOP DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
• Osteoblastoma
• Telangiectatic osteogenic sarcoma
• Metastases
• Giant cell tumor
• Tarlov cyst
PATHOLOGY
• Now considered true neoplasm since cytogenetic
abnormalities found in > 50%
• Translocation between chromosomes 16 and 17
CLINICAL ISSUES
• Young patient with back pain of insidious onset
(Left) Axial graphic shows an
aneurysmal bone cyst with an
expansile, multicystic mass in
the posterior vertebral body
and pedicle extending into the
epidural space. Fluid-fluid
levels are characteristic.
(Right) Anteroposterior
radiograph shows an
aneurysmal bone cyst of T12
with an absent pedicle sign
. The superior and inferior
extent of tumor is shown by
bone destruction , which
involved the vertebral body as
well as the neural arch.
(Left) Axial T2WI MR shows an
aneurysmal bone cyst of T12
with multiple fluid-fluid levels
due to layering blood
products. The zone of
transition to normal bone
is narrow and sclerotic. There
is cortical breakthrough as
well as extension into the
spinal canal compressing
the spinal cord. (Right) Axial
NECT shows an extensive
aneurysmal bone cyst
involving the entire C2 body
with body ſt and posterior
element expansion. The
bony expansion is the typical
soap bubble type with intact
cortical margins.
271

Giant Cell Tumor
KEY FACTS
TERMINOLOGY
• Giant cell tumor (GCT)
• Locally aggressive neoplasm composed of osteoclast-like
giant cells
IMAGING
• 3% of all GCTs occur in spine

(Left) AP radiograph shows a
giant cell tumor (GCT) st of
the sacrum. Lytic lesions in this
region are difficult to see on
radiographs and may be
mistaken for bowel gas.
Arcuate lines are a useful
landmark. In this case, the S1
& S2 ſt arcuate lines are
visible on the normal right side
but destroyed on the left.
(Right) Axial NECT shows a
nearly complete cortical rim
around a large sacral mass.
There is a small region of
cortical breakthrough ſt &
extension of tumor from the
sacrum into right iliac wing
across the sacroiliac joint .
• Chordoma
• Osteogenic sarcoma
CLINICAL ISSUES
• Back pain of insidious onset, greatest at night
• Locally aggressive: 12-50% recurrence rate
• Curettage alone associated with high rate of recurrence
○ Curettage defect filled with methylmethacrylate or bone
graft
○ Denosumab: Human monoclonal antibody to RANKL
– In one study, 86% of patients had tumor response
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST
• Most likely causes of solitary sacral mass in adult patient are
GCTs, chordoma, and plasmacytoma
• Malignant GCTs rare, difficult to distinguish from typical
GCT
○ Zone of transition usually less well defined
272
(Left) Lateral radiograph
shows a lytic lesion ſt of L1.
The lesion is sharply
demarcated with a
nonsclerotic margin. There is
probable cortical
breakthrough inferiorly .
This constellation of findings is
consistent with GCT and other
intermediate aggressivity
lesions, such as plasmacytoma,
chordoma (rare at this site), or
some metastases. (Right) Axial

shows a heterogeneously
enhancing mass with cortical
breakthrough st.

cervical spine demonstrates a
typical osteochondroma
(exostosis) ſt protruding into
the spinal canal causing canal
stenosis and cord compression.

projecting ventrally from the
right lateral mass of C2 ſt.
There is ossification of the
cartilaginous cap .
(Left) Axial bone CT shows a
pedunculated osseous lesion
ſt extending into the canal
from the right pedicle with
cortical and medullary
continuity. There is resulting
canal stenosis. The right
pedicle and superior facet are
irregularly enlarged due to
the sessile component of the
osteochondroma. (Right) Axial
T2WI FS MR in the same
patient shows the medullary
continuity of the osseous mass
with the right pedicle ſt and a
hyperintense cartilaginous cap
st. The spinal cord is

○ T1WI: Hypointense marrow and focal tumor masses
○ T2WI: Hyperintense marrow ± focal vertebral mass, cord
signal abnormality
○ T1WI C+: Abnormal enhancement of marrow, focal
lesion, or leptomeninges
TOP DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
• Metastases
• Lymphoma
• Ewing sarcoma
• Langerhans cell histiocytosis
CLINICAL ISSUES
• Localized or diffuse bone pain
• Symptomatic patients present with fever, ↑ ESR,
hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, joint effusions,
petechial and retinal hemorrhage, anemia, frequent
infections
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST
• Marrow infiltration in child with osteoporosis raises
suspicion for leukemia
• Consider leukemia in patient with unexplained compression
fractures
(Left) Sagittal T1WI MR (left)
and T2WI MR (right) of the
cervical spine demonstrate
diffuse abnormal hypointense
signal intensity within the
vertebra. Signal intensity is
lower than the adjacent disc
spaces. (Right) Sagittal T1WI
MR (left) and T2WI MR (right)
of the lumbar spine exhibit
diffuse abnormal hypointense
signal intensity within the
vertebra as compared to the
adjacent disc spaces. The
signal abnormality may be a
combination of tumor marrow
infiltration and hyperplastic
marrow secondary to anemia.
(Left) Coronal planar bone
scan of the pelvis reveals
abnormal increased uptake
within the right sacral ala ſt
in this case of focal leukemic
metastasis to the axial
skeleton. Bone scan may
underestimate disease extent,
especially in absence of
significant cortical
destruction. (Right) Axial T1WI
MR in the same patient
clarifies the right sacral alar
metastatic lesion ſt. There is
no definite cortical
breakthrough.
