Bone tumors can be very confusing as many tumors have the same presentation both clinically and radiographically. Dr. Dolce attempts to de-mystify them by presenting bone tumors in a very thorough pictoral fashion. A thorough review of benign and malignant tumors is discussed, including pathologic slides and x-rays of numerous tumors of the lower extremity. The surgical treatments for each of these tumors is also discussed.
