Management of benign bone tumours
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 09/18/09

Pollock R – Benign primary bone tumours are rare, occurring most commonly in skeletally immature patients, arising from cartilage or bone. Diagnosis is by plain x–rays, MRI scans and a core needle biopsy if indicated. Treatment depends on the anatomical location, symptoms, the natural history of the tumour and the morbidity of treatment and in most cases involves either simple excision or curettage although occasionally it is necessary to perform a complete excision using the same principles as for malignant tumours.
