Lecture 2B: Pragmatic Approach to Pediatric Bone Tumors
What to do in practice - pick up the lesion, don't screw up, and make a diagnosis if absolutely sure, else advise a biopsy
Text
This is the companion video to the first one that I had posted 3 days ago, which discussed the standard approach to pediatric bone tumors based on the X-ray and MRI appearance, zone of transition, periosteal reaction, matrix, age, sex, location, etc.
However, in practice, a more pragmatic approach is required, the main aim being to avoid WHOOPs lesions and to avoid unnecessary work-up for leave-alone lesions like non-ossifying fibroma and osteochondroma.
This 25-minutes video discusses this pragmatic approach.
