  • Title: Malignant and benign bone tumors that you are likely to see.
    Author: Lewis VO, Morris CD, Parsons TW.
    Journal: Instr Course Lect; 2013; 62():535-49. PubMed ID: 23395056.
    Abstract:
    Although primary malignancies of bone are rare, thousands of benign bone tumors are diagnosed annually. It is important to be able to distinguish benign lesions from malignant lesions and differentiate those lesions that can be watched versus lesions that require further treatment and referral to an orthopaedic oncologist. Learning to distinguish these entities and their appropriate treatment or triage will positively affect the patient and the surgeon's practice.
