Excerpt

The production of bone by neoplastic cells that have an osteoblastic phenotype is the common trait of all bone forming neoplasms. The tumor bone can be lamellar or woven in architecture and may mimic cortical or cancellous elements. In benign tumors, the neoplastic bone usually consists of relatively well-formed trabeculae of woven bone, whereas in malignant bone forming tumors (osteosarcoma), it is usually deposited in a coarse lace-like pattern. Lamellar cortical-type neoplastic bone is generally only present in osteoma (and enostosis), however, it can rarely be a component of well-differentiated osteosarcoma. …
