Primary Bone Tumours

  • Chapter
Book cover Imaging of the Sternocostoclavicular Region

17.6 Conclusion

Primary bone tumours of the sternocostoclavicular region include a diverse group of lesions of osseous and cartilaginous origin. Radiological assessment is an essential component of the management of these tumours. Evaluation usually includes conventional chest radiography to detect and localise the lesion, cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI) to further characterise and define tumour extent, and anatometabolic correlations with FDG PET/CT. Several of the primary bone tumours of the sternocostoclavicular region have characteristic features that allow confident identification. However, many tumours have non-specific imaging features and biopsy is frequently required for diagnosis. Despite this, imaging remains important to patient management and is frequently used to facilitate biopsy, assess postprocedural complications, monitor tumours that are not excised and assess significant prognostic imaging characteristics.
