Abstract

Unsuspected bone tumors occasionally present to the rheumatologist. Tumors may be detected incidentally on imaging performed for alternate indications, or patients may be referred for investigation of nonspecific musculoskeletal symptoms, which are secondary to a bone or joint neoplasm. As such, the rheumatologist should have an understanding of the common imaging appearance of the bone and joint neoplasms.
