title: MR imaging of musculoskeletal tumors of the hand and wrist.
abstract: Musculoskeletal tumors of the hand and wrist are relatively uncommon. Yet, despite their overall rarity, certain bone and soft-tissue lesions have a predilection for this location. This article reviews the common musculoskeletal tumors of the hand and wrist. It is not intended as a comprehensive review but as an overview, emphasizing the use of MR imaging in the evaluation of these lesions and highlighting those diagnoses that may be suggested by MR imaging.
