Indeterminate Bone Lesion: The Diagnosis
Abstract
The diagnostic approach is statistical. Age is important:
before 5 years old, malignant tumour is almost
always metastatic neuroblastoma; between 5 and 15 years
old, it is often osteosarcoma or Ewing’s sarcoma; after
40 years old, it tends to be metastasis or myeloma.
Clinical symptoms vary little and are most often pain and
swelling. Although fever suggests infection, it may also
be found in Ewing’s sarcoma.
