Benign Bone Tumors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Orthopaedic Oncology

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 162))

Abstract

Benign bone lesions are a broad category that demonstrates a spectrum of activities from latent to aggressive. Differentiating the various tumors is important in order to properly determine necessary intervention. This chapter focuses on the presentation, imaging, diagnostic features, and treatment of the most common benign bone tumors in order to help guide diagnosis and management.
