Radiologists frequently encounter benign bone lesions that mimic tumors. This review aids in accurately diagnosing common bone tumor mimics, preventing misdiagnosis and improving patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Orthopedic Pathology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Benign osseous lesions with tumor-like appearances are common findings.
  • Accurate differentiation from true bone tumors is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review 13 common benign bone lesions that mimic tumors.
  • To assist radiologists in accurate diagnosis and management recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • In-depth review of epidemiology, clinical presentation, and imaging features.
  • Discussion of differential diagnoses and therapeutic options for each lesion.

Main Results:

  • Detailed descriptions of 13 specific bone tumor mimics are provided.
