What disease is central calcification?

summary

Central chondrosarcoma can be manifested as osteolysis with fuzzy boundary, with or without interruption of cortical bone. As cartilage tends to calcify and ossify, radiopaque areas may appear in the tumor. Calcification often occurs around the cartilage lobules without certain structure. It is characterized by irregular foggy granules, nodules or radiopaque rings. What disease is central calcification? Let's talk about it

What disease is central calcification?

Central chondrosarcoma can be manifested as osteolysis with fuzzy boundary, with or without interruption of cortical bone. As cartilage tends to calcify and ossify, radiopaque areas may appear in the tumor. Calcification often occurs around the cartilage lobules without certain structure. It is characterized by irregular foggy granules, nodules or radiopaque rings.

Due to the bony crest of the tumor wall, the tumor may have a bubbly or crumb like appearance. If the calcification is dense, the tumor may be radiopaque. If the tumor infiltrates into the medullary cavity of cancellous bone and does not destroy the trabecular bone, the calcium deposition and reactive bone hyperplasia may appear as spongy bone. If the tumor infiltrates cancellous bone without trabecular destruction and calcification, the tumor may not develop,

Cortical bone can be very thin, scallop shaped inside, and can be interrupted in some areas. Sometimes, cortical bone can be thickened due to slow tumor expansion. This thickening of cortical bone is typical, indicating that it has been infiltrated by the tumor.

matters needing attention

Normal nutrition and diet. Therapeutic intervention to maximize the removal of calcified debris particles. The prognosis of central chondrosarcoma basically depends on two factors: histological malignancy and correct surgical plan (extensive or radical resection without contamination).
