Bone tumors can be primary, originating in bone tissue, or secondary (metastatic) tumors that have spread from other sites. They are classified based on the normal cell type and include hematopoietic, chondrogenic, osteogenic, and others of unknown or various origins. Evaluation of bone tumors involves history, physical exam, labs/imaging, and biopsy. Radiography provides key information like the site and borders of the lesion, type of bone destruction, periosteal reaction, and matrix/soft tissue involvement to characterize the tumor and determine if it is benign or malignant.
