title: Tumours of the hand: a review on histology of bone malignancies.
abstract: Malignant bone tumours of the hands are uncommon. Although almost all lesions that occur in other parts of the skeleton can also affect the hands, their frequency, distribution and clinical characteristics differ. This review focusses on the histology of these tumours and gives an overview of the main differential diagnoses. Close correlation to radiologic and clinical features usually leads to the correct diagnosis.
