All patients with clinical and radiological suspicion of primary and secondary tumours and tumour like lesions of the bone which require biopsy or surgical excision. Results: Out of 50 lesions studied, malignant bone tumours were 27 (54%) , benign tumours 16 (32%) and tumour like lesions 7 (14%). The ratio of benign to malignant bone tumours was 1 to 1.68.

Tumour like lesions more commonly present clinically as neoplastic lesion and also appear as tumours on Xrays.
