ABSTRACT
Bone tumours remain both a diagnostic and a therapeutic challenge
for clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists. These are relatively
uncommon and account for approximately 0.5% of the tumours
worldwide [1, 2]. Primarymalignant bone tumours are exceptionally
rare and constitute 0.2% of primary bone tumours [1]. Osteochon-
droma is themost common primary bone tumour and osteosarcoma
the most common primary malignant tumour [2, 3]. On an average,
around 500 new cases of bone tumours are diagnosed in the UK
every year. A third of the bone tumours occur in the long bones
of the lower limb, half of which are osteosarcomas. Imaging plays
an integral part in the diagnosis and management of bone tumours
(Figs. 14.1 and 14.2).
