Bone Tumor Location within the Skeleton
Epiphysis:
Only a few lesions are located in the epiphysis, so this could be an important finding.
In young patients it is likely to be either a chondroblastoma or an infection.
In patients over 20, a giant cell tumor has to be included in the differential diagnosis.
In older patients a geode, i.e. degenerative subchondral bone cyst must be added to the differential diagnosis.
Metaphysis:
NOF, SBC, CMF, Osteosarcoma, Chondrosarcoma, Enchondroma and infections.
Diaphysis:
Ewing's sarcoma, SBC, ABC, Enchondroma, Fibrous dysplasia and Osteoblastoma.
