Spiculated periosteal reaction

Changed by Henry Knipe, 14 Oct 2021

Updates to Article Attributes

Body was changed:

Spiculated periosteal reaction represents spicules of new bone forming-forming along vascular channels and the fibrous bands that anchor tendons to bone (Sharpey fibres).

Pathology

A spiculated periosteal reaction signifies a rapid underlying process that prevents the formation of new bone under the raised periosteum.

Aetiology

The orientation of the spicules reflects the direction of tumour growth. Spiculated periosteal reactions can be divided into subtypes based on the orientation of the spicules:

Perpendicular (hair-on-end)
Divergent (sunburst)
Focal slopping (velvet)
