Non traumatic lesions of the scapula-Pictorial essay
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The scapula is a flat, broad and triangular bone situated bilaterally over the chest wall. The division of the scapula into two anatomical areas helps the imageologist in deciding the nature of tumors and tumor like lesions. It also helps the surgeon in choosing the type of surgery. Non traumatic lesions of the scapula include developmental/congenital, inflammatory, infective, metabolic, neoplastic and miscellaneous causes. The images of tumor like lesions such as infections, Langerhans histiocytosis, simple bone cysts, congenital glenoid dysplasia, fibrous dysplasia and Paget disease are described. Few of the metabolic and systemic disorders are also outlined with illustrations. Similarly, the common benign and malignant tumors as well as their characteristics are described and illustrated. The imaging features of tumors are more helpful in the diagnosis by analysing the site, transitional zone, aggressive nature, matrix mineralisation, periosteal reaction and soft tissue changes.
