Abstract :

Malignant bone tumors are classified based on their predominant histological components. For example, chondrosarcoma is a tumor that consists of cartilage forming matrix. This may also translate to anticipated radiological features which will confer reasonable degree of diagnosis even prior to histology. The aforementioned underlies our selection of some malignant bone tumors typified pictorially to buttress our reasoning. Our choice of malignant bone tumors range from osteosarcoma, leukaemia, osteoblastic metastasis from prostatic carcinoma, plasmacytoma, ameloblastoma (though not malignant but extremely aggressive and infiltrative) to osteolytic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.
