Pediatric Benign Bone Tumors: What Does the Radiologist Need to Know?: Pediatric Imaging

Abstract

The most important clues to narrow differential diagnosis of benign bone tumors in the pediatric population include patient age, location of the lesion, number of lesions, type of matrix, margin features, and presence of periosteal reaction and extraosseous extension; a systemic imaging approach helps guide clinical management and prevent unnecessary patient anxiety and medical intervention.
