A quick-reference handbook with more than 100 figures, charts, and
images, Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors provides a wide-ranging
overview of musculoskeletal tumors for the practicing clinician.
From a pathological fracture in the emergency department to a soft
tissue tumor in the clinic, musculoskeletal tumors present in clinical
practice yet receive minimal exposure in training. Edited by Drs.
Matthew T. Wallace and Frank J. Frassica, Handbook of Musculoskeletal
Tumors provides readers with concise recommendations for their
encounters with diseases including:
- Latent bone lesions and active and aggressive benign bone lesions
- Osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and primary lymphoma of bone
- Myeloma and metastatic bone disease, chondrosarcoma, osteochondroma,
multiple hereditary exostoses, Ollier disease, and Mafucci syndrome
- Benign soft tissue tumors, including lipomatous tumors, nerve sheath
tumors, and myxoid, fibrous, and vascular lesions
- Soft tissue sarcomas, including undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma,
liposarcomas, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and epithelioid
sarcoma
- Anatomic-specific considerations, including intra-articular lesions
and hand, foot, and spine tumors
Written for primary care providers, practicing orthopedists and
surgeons, residents and students in training, physician assistants, and
nurses and nurse practitioners, Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors is
a practical guide to help practitioners recognize and diagnose
suspicious lesions, order appropriate testing, and facilitate prompt
referrals to trained musculoskeletal oncologists when appropriate for
additional management.
