Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Bone tumours are rare, amounting to only 0.2% of the overall human tumour burden. A systemic approach to clinical history, radiological evaluation and histopathology data is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. In this study, the clinicopathological features of primary bone tumours were analysed. METHOD: The cases were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Pathology from January 2016 to December 2018. RESULT: A total of 50 cases were found. The patients were aged 6 to 70 years. Out of these 36 (72%) patients were males and 14 (28%) were females. Most of the bone tumours observed in our study were benign 39/50 (78%). Giant cell tumour was the most common with 25/50 cases (50%), followed by osteochondroma 8/50 (16%), chondroblastoma 3/50 (6%), ossifying fioma 2/50 (4%), and aneurysmal bone cyst 1/50 (2%). Primary malignant bone tumours in our study were 11/50 (22%), including osteosarcoma 5/50 (10%) and chondrosarcoma 5/50 (10%) were the most common followed by Ewing’s sarcoma 1/50 (2%). CONCLUSION: Benign bone tumours were found to be more common than malignant tumours. Histopathological diagnosis of bone tumours should always be made in conjunction with clinical and radiological findings
