Skeletal Radiol. 2005 Dec;34(12):755-70. doi: 10.1007/s00256-005-0001-4. Epub 2005 Sep 28.

Abstract

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays an important role in the diagnosis of some bone tumors, especially in the differential diagnosis of primary from metastatic non-osseous tumors and in the categorization of small-round-blue-cell tumors. This article reviews immunomarkers used in bone tumors and their diagnostic significance.
