Abstract
Introduction Pathological lesions in skeletal system can be viewed radiologically as lytic lesions of bone They can be either inflammatory conditions or neoplastic lesions If they are neoplastic it can be again either benign or malignant On radiological examination the nature of the disease cannot be assessed Histopathology is the ultimate tool for the final diagnosis of such conditionsAims and objectives The main aim is to study the different lytic bone lesions uncommon locations at which they can occur and the histopathological features of the sameMaterials and Methods This study was done at Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College from June 2017 to June 2018 A total of 12 bone lesions were analysed Different investigations were done in different cases after radiological examination The procedures done were fine needle aspiration cytology bone biopsy and bone excision Once they were done the specimens were taken for processing and the staining was done After that histopathological diagnosis was madeResults This study included a total number of 12 cases out of which 6 cases 50 are between 25 50 years of age Female predominance was observed The incidence of nonneoplastic lesions was 83 and of neoplastic lesions was 9167 In the neoplastic lesions the benign lesions were 25 malignant tumours were 4167 and metastatic tumours were 25 Solitary plasmacytoma was most common tumour among malignant tumours Also secondary metastasis was common among the malignant bone tumoursConclusion Bone tumours are not routinely found in clinical practice If the presentation is at rare site it is difficult to come to a diagnosis Though clinical and radiological approach is available the histopathology can make the correct diagnosisKeywords Lytic bone lesions Uncommon location Histopathology
