This volume presents a selection of clinical cases with the emphasis on tumors of bone and soft tissues. Case for case, the reader is supplied with information and invited to suggest a diagnosis. In each case the patient's history is briefly reviewed and characteristic images are reproduced. Special importance is attached to lucid analysis, basic considerations and systematic image interpretation. Each case is histologically verified, and the definitive diagnosis is betrayed on the last page. Case presentations closes with a concise summary of the important clinical data relating to the entity concerned. This authoritative yet eminently readable book is a practical guide to the analysis of the kind of complex orthopedic cases with which orthopedists and radiologists should become familiar.

This book aims to provide readers with a sound understanding of the spectrum of radiologic appearances of bone tumors, which reflect histopathology, and the pattern analysis of imaging findings.The first part of the book explains basic concepts and diagnostic parameters, including demographics, lesion location, biological activity, matrix mineralization, and endosteal and periosteal reactions. In the second part, typical and atypical radiologic features of bone tumors are reviewed in detail, with emphasis on the characteristic radiographic and MR imaging findings and reference to schematic drawings and pathologic or operative images when appropriate.The third part focuses on problem solving in cases encountered in real radiology practice and identifies categorical patterns on the basis of radiographic and MR variables and lesion location. Informative cases are illustrated and compared to enhance understanding of differential diagnosis using pattern analysis. The final part of the book helps readers to consolidate what they have learned and to hone their diagnostic reasoning skills by presenting about 30 typical bone tumor cases with questions, answers, and commentary.
