ABSTRACT
The present study was performed to find the spectrum of bone diseases in children and to correlate with age, sex, and site of origin. This was a retrospective study and consists of 95 cases of hone biopsies which were diagnosed in the Department of Pathology at the Institute of Child Health and Children's Hospital, Lahore during a period of six years [Jan 2003-Dec 2008]. These biopsies were evaluated on haematoxylin and eosin stained sections from paraffin embedded tissue blocks. Special stains were performed whenever required. Pyogenic osteomyelitis [OM] accounted for 35.78% of all bone pathologies followed by tuberculous osteomyelitis in 22.10%. Osteosarcoma [OS] was the most frequent [primary tumour of bone followed by Ewing's sarcoma [ES]. One case of metastatic bone tumour was also recorded. Osteochondroma, osteoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, fibro-osseous dysplasia, chondroma and simple bone cyst were also found in children. The bone tumours are relatively more prevalent in males
