[Musculoskeletal tumors: significance of morphological diagnostics].
Musculoskeletal tumors, particularly bone neoplasms, are very rare. Diagnosis and treatment require an interdisciplinary concept as well as wide experience of all physicians involved. The final histopathologic diagnosis should not be confirmed without information regarding the patient's age, exact localization, and radiological findings. The requirements of additional diagnostic procedures (molecular pathology) have to be taken into consideration when planning a biopsy.
