Bone

Abstract

For tumors of the bone, involving the bone, or simulating the bone, the radiograph is the gross examination. Just as in vascular lesions, a well-differentiated neoplasm may be classified as benign or low-grade malignant largely by the degree to which it infiltrates or invades the surrounding tissue or bone. In the bone, this infiltration of the periphery is best assessed by a radiologist or an experienced bone pathologist. The second major principle is that primary bone tumors are rare and mainly occur in young adults and kids. For any patient over 50, the first three things in the differential for a bony lesion are metastasis, metastasis, and metastasis. Number four is a hematopoietic malignancy such as multiple myeloma.
