Histopathological Spectrum of Neoplastic and Nonneoplastic Bone Lesions

Abstract

Background: To study the histopathological  spectrum  of  bone  lesions. Methods: This hospital based cross-sectional study conducted 50 histopathological reports and slides of patients who had bone tissue biopsies were reviewed to provide relevant information on age, sex, histopathological interpretation, and the anatomical site of occurrence. Results: Benign  lesions constituted 39 cases(100.00%) and malignant lesions were 11 cases(100.00%).Out  of  39  neoplastic  lesions,  most  common  benign  lesion  was  found to be  osteochondroma  13  cases and most  common  malignant  was osteosarcoma 6 cases.  Primary  malignant  bone tumors  were  found  to be more common than metastatic tumors. Conclusion: Among   the   bone   tumours,   osteochondroma was   the   commonest benign and osteosarcoma  was  the  most  commonmalignant  bone tumours Keywords: Bone Tumours, Histopathology, Osteosarcoma
