Radiol Clin North Am. 2011 Nov;49(6):1135-61, v. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2011.07.003. Epub 2011 Sep 21.

Abstract

Primary malignant bone tumors are uncommon and are diagnosed typically based on radiographic and microscopic findings combined with clinical and demographic features. CT and MR imaging scans are useful in further staging the tumors by determining intraosseous and extraosseous spread.
