ABSTRACT
Musculoskeletal neoplasia is relatively rare, and thus is not commonly encountered by the practising orthopaedic surgeon. Most radiographic lesions noted in the clinical setting are associated with prior trauma, an inflammatory or infectious condition or, less commonly, represent metastases from an underlying carcinoma. Skeletal lesions are often noted serendipitously, and these serendipitous discoveries frequently include developmental conditions such as osteochondroma.
