age versus types of bone tumors

Table: specific tumors by age : Malignant bone tumors in red and benign tumors in blue

Age:
-Age is the most important clinical clue in differentiating possible bone tumors.There are many ways of splitting age groups, as can be seen in this table.
-Some prefer to divide patients into two age groups: <> 30 years.
-Most primary bone tumors are seen in patients <> 30 years we must always include metastases and myeloma in the differential diagnosis.
