Reviews

The scope of this book is broad: to provide day-to-day assistance in tumors and tumorlike lesions of bone. In this regard it largely succeeds. ... it may be of interest to those radiologists and orthopedic surgeons hoping to better understand the pathologic characteristics of these lesions in a relatively easy-to-digest format. (Rikin Hargunani, Radiology, Vol. 279 (3), June, 2016)
