Giant Cell Tumor
Location: Long bones, metaepiphyseal, and eccentrical: distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius (65 % of the cases). Rare in the sacrum and pelvis. When occurring in long bones before…

Osteoblastoma
Localization: Osteoblastoma shows evident predilection for the vertebral column (posterior arch) and the sacrum, but it may occur in any skeletal site. Clinical: In the spine, it presents symptoms similar…

Multiple Chondromas (Chondromatosis, Ollier’s Disease) Associated Condition: Maffucci’s Syndrome
In Maffucci’s syndrome (very rare), multiple, diffuse chondromas are associated with multiple hemangiomas, cutaneous, subcutaneous, or in the deep soft tissues (not in the bone). Basic imaging is the same…
Simple Bone Cyst (Unicameral Bone Cyst)
Localization: It usually arises in the metaphyses of the long bones, beneath the growth plate, but along with patient growth, the cyst migrates to the diaphysis. The most common location…
Osteofibrous Dysplasia of Long Bones
Localization: The lesion is almost exclusively localized in the shaft of the tibia, occasionally involving the ipsilateral fibula, too. Exceptionally it is bilateral in tibias and fibulas. Clinical: The symptoms…
Fibrous Dysplasia
Location: Femur (proximal), tibia, craniofacial bones, ribs; then humerus, forearm, pelvis. Same sites in multicentric and polyostotic disease. Frequently more areas in the same long bone, or two to three…
