Primary bone neoplasms are quite rare, and because of this it often rests on the radiologist's shoulders to give an accurate differential diagnosis and guide the clinician's next step and further management of the lesion. In this chapter, we will provide explanations of the musculoskeletal tumors and basic steps to help in formulating a diagnosis and providing appropriate follow up. A team approach is important for diagnosis and proper treatment of these relatively rare entities. We first address benign and malignant bone tumors based on their matrix and then we will describe important multiple bone lesions including metastases and multiple myeloma. At the end of the chapter, there is a brief discussion on soft tissue tumors.
