Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors, a quick-reference handbook with over 100 figures, charts, and photographs, gives practicing clinicians a comprehensive review of musculoskeletal tumors.

Musculoskeletal tumors are encountered in clinical practice but are not extensively studied in training. Examples of these tumors include pathological fractures in the emergency room and soft tissue tumors in clinics. The Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors, edited by Drs. Matthew T. Wallace and Frank J. Frassica, offers readers succinct advice for dealing with illnesses such as:
Benign bone lesions that are latent as well as acute and aggressive
Primary bone lymphoma, Ewing sarcoma, and osteosarcoma
Ollier illness, Mafucci syndrome, numerous hereditary exostoses, chondrosarcoma, osteochondroma, myeloma and metastatic bone disease
benign soft tissue tumors, such as fibrous, vascular, myxoid, and lipomatous tumors, as well as tumors encasing nerve sheaths
Soft tissue sarcomas include liposarcomas, synovial sarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, epithelioid sarcomas, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas.
Anatomical considerations: malignancies of the hands, feet, and spine; intra-articular lesions
The Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors is a practical guide designed for primary care providers, practicing orthopedists and surgeons, residents and students in training, physician assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners. It assists practitioners in identifying and diagnosing suspicious lesions, arranging necessary testing, and facilitating timely referrals to skilled musculoskeletal oncologists when further management is required.
