Book synopsis

The diagnosis of bone tumors is extremely difficult and can only be managed in close cooperation between the radiologist and pathologist. Bone tumors in children and adolescents are exceptionally difficult due to the age factor of the patients. Unlike the many other monographs on bone tumors, this one concentrates solely on bone tumors in children and includes many tumor-like bone lesions that have similar clinical and radiological symptoms. It is especially written for the front-line physicians - pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons and radiologists - who need help with the differential diagnosis of these conditions. The authors have pooled a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience into this monograph. The bone pathologist, Dr. Adler, describes all bone tumors and tumor-like bone lesions according to the WHO classification regarding site, age, radiological features, macroscopic appearance, histological pattern, therapy and prognosis. The pediatric radiologist, Dr. Kozlowski, delineates the topographical diagnostic approach using radiologic imaging. By referring to this text, pediatricians should be able to recognize these lesions and their pathologic-anatomic features, and radiologists and pathologists will improve their ability to achieve differential diagnosis quickly and accurately.
