Abstract
These data come from the Archives of musculoskeletal tumor and pseudotumoral lesions of the Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna. We do not report incidence data, but frequency data registered at a referral center for musculoskeletal lesions. From September 1900 to December 2014, the archive comprises 28,477 cases, of which 790 (2.77%) were lesion of the sacrum. To better understand the specificity of sacrum lesions, data will be compared to the figures of bone lesions affecting the whole skeleton.
