ABSTRACT

A review of all primary tumours and tumour-like lesions of bone diagnosed in patients who attended the University Hospital of the West Indies over a 10-year period revealed 136 cases comprising 69 benign and 54 malignant tumours, and 13 cases of tumour-like lesions. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of the various lesions are discussed and compared with the findings in other series. The results of this analysis provide demographic data useful in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions locally.
