Description #
This lecture will look at the imaging of bone tumors and take a patterned approach to imaging features of primary and secondary bone tumors. We will discuss considerations such as the age of the patient, location of the lesion on the body, and lesion characteristics (margins, matrixes, zones of transition). Following this we will look at pearls and discriminators for different types of lesions, including end-of-bone lesions, chondroblastoma, irritative margins, Broadie’s abscesses, giant cell tumors, inert margins, intraosseous ganglion cysts, subchondrial cysts, clear cell chondrosarcoma, periosteal chondroma, surface lesions, pedunculated osteochondroma, periosteal osteosarcoma, myositis ossificans, bizarre parosteal osteochondroma proliferation, aggressive lytic lesions, osteomyelitis, and Ewing’s sarcoma.
