Summary

This chapter aims to cover the commonest benign and malignant bone tumours in paediatric orthopaedics practice (and exams). Table 20.1 summarizes bone tumours and their cells of origin, and Table 20.2 summarizes bone tumour-like conditions. The selected tumours in this chapter are those that are most frequently addressed in the FRCS exams. The current evidence is discussed, and the identifiable radiological and histological features are illustrated. To this aim, we have also included the soft tissue tumour rhabdomyosarcoma.
