Pediatric bone tumors.
A variety of benign and malignant bone tumors can affect the metabolically active pediatric skeleton. A thorough investigation with pertinent imaging studies can establish an appropriate differential diagnosis and frequently allows distinction between benign and malignant tumors. By using a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of malignant tumors, a number of advances have been made. Further research is needed to gain more understanding and improve on the remarkable advances of the past 20 years.
