This volume is a comprehensive guide to the radiologic and pathologic diagnosis of bone tumors. Emphasis is placed on correlation of clinical information, radiologic findings, and pathologic material as a key step in the differential diagnosis and final diagnosis. The book describes and illustrates the radiographic and microscopic appearances of various benign and malignant lesions and explains how the radiologist and the pathologist approach the differential diagnosis. Close attention is given to common sources of error in radiologic interpretation, as well as to cases where the radiologic differential diagnosis varies from the histopathologic differential diagnosis
