Tumoral lesions of the bones of the hands - Pictorial essay
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
All swellings of the fingers and hand are not neoplastic. The benign tumors of the bones of the hands and their radiographic manifestations have been described in the previous article. Conventional radiographs of the hands give a clue to the diagnosis of tumoral lesions of the bones. It is essential to correlate the radiological findings with clinical and laboratory data. Rarely it is necessary to go for advanced imaging like ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclide scans for a diagnosis.
