The purpose of this article is to summarize the nomenclature of nonneoplastic conditions affecting subchondral bone through a review of the medical literature and expert opinion of the Society of Skeletal Radiology Subchondral Bone Nomenclature Committee. This consensus statement summarizes current understanding of the pathophysiologic characteristics and imaging findings of subchondral nonneoplastic bone lesions and proposes nomenclature to improve effective communication across clinical specialties and help avoid diagnostic errors that could affect patient care.

Updates in non-neoplastic orthopaedic pathology: what you don't know can hurt you!
J Clin Pathol
September 2024
Anatomic Pathology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Article Synopsis
- Most research in surgical pathology tends to focus on rare tumors, while average pathologists deal with common non-neoplastic orthopedic conditions daily, indicating a gap in knowledge for these frequent cases.* -
- Intraoperative consultations, especially for revision arthroplasty infections, are vital, as pathologists help determine the need for antibiotic spacers based on their assessments.* -
- Recent literature highlights the importance of thorough examination of orthopedic specimens, as it can lead to significant insights into conditions like avascular necrosis and even early diagnosis of diseases like cardiac amyloidosis.*

A number of nonneoplastic conditions can mimic tumors of bone. Some of the more common mimics of primary bone tumors include infectious, inflammatory, periosteal, and degenerative joint disease-associated lesions that produce tumorlike bone surface-based or intraosseous lesions. This article considers a spectrum of reactive and nonreactive processes including stress fracture, subchondral cysts, osteonecrosis, heterotopic ossification, osteomyelitis, sarcoidosis, and amyloidoma that can present in such a way that they are mistaken for a tumor arising primary in bone.
