Histopathological spectrum of bone lesions at tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Background: Bone lesions are less commonly encountered lesions, and they pose a definitive diagnostic challenge. A spectrum of pathological bone lesions can be presented in any form from inflammatory to neoplastic conditions. Diagnosis of all bone lesions is made by radiological modalities like plain X-ray, CT scan, MRI and bone scintigraphy. Histopathological examination of these lesions is important to identify the morphological features and make a diagnosis. Aim and Objectives: To study histopathological features of bone lesions and correlate them with age, site and type of lesions. Material and Methods: The study was carried out at tertiary care hospital from August 2022 to June 2024. A total of 93 bone lesions were analyzed. Bone biopsy was performed after detailed clinical and radiological examination. After fixation, decalcification, processing and H & E staining, histopathological diagnosis was made. Results: Out of 93 cases, 42.4% bone lesions were found in
