[Morphological study of a bone tumor. I. Macroscopic, radiographic and cytological aspects (author's transl)]

Pitfalls in histological studies of bone tumor are mostly due to inadequate macroscopic procedures and lack of precise radiological data. Simple technical steps are suggested, including methods of studying resection or amputation specimens, radiographs of tumoral sections, and procedures for obtaining good quality cytological images, particularly useful for the analysis of some types of bone tumors.
