Abstract

Bone and soft tissue lesions are frequently seen in the lower limbs. Many are non-neoplastic but may mimic tumours. In this article, we discuss a practical approach for the diagnosis and management of the most common tumours and tumour-like conditions seen in the lower limbs.

Keywords: Bone tumors; Lower limb; Soft-tissue tumors; Tumor mimics.
