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 are trying to provide basic steps and explanations of the musculoskeletal tumors to help in formulating diagnosis and follow-up. A team approach is important for diagnosis, proper treatment, and follow-up 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 metastasis and multiple myeloma (MM). At the end of the chapter, there is a brief discussion of soft tissue tumors.
