AB Being  able  to  recognize  bone  lesions,  discern  their  aggressiveness,  and  formulate  a  competent  differential  diagnosis  are  skills  that  every  good  radiologist  should  have.  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.
