Handbook Of Musculoskeletal Tumors (Original PDF From Publisher)

Written by Matthew T. Wallace

Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors, a quick-reference handbook with over 100 figures, charts, and photographs, gives practicing clinicians a comprehensive review of musculoskeletal tumors. Musculoskeletal tumors are encountered in clinical practice but are not extensively studied in training. Examples of these tumors include pathological fractures in the emergency room and soft tissue tumors in clinics.

Edited by Drs. Matthew T. Wallace and Frank J. Frassica, the book provides readers with concise recommendations for their encounters with diseases including: latent bone lesions and active and aggressive benign bone lesions; osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and primary lymphoma of bone; myeloma and metastatic bone disease, chondrosarcoma, osteochondroma, multiple hereditary exostoses, Ollier disease and Mafucci syndrome; benign soft tissue tumors, including lipomatous tumors, nerve sheath tumors and myxoid, fibrous and vascular lesions; soft tissue sarcomas, including undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, liposarcomas, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma and anatomic-specific considerations, including intra-articular lesions and hand, foot and spine tumors.

The Handbook of Musculoskeletal Tumors is a practical guide designed for primary care providers, practicing orthopedists and surgeons, residents and students in training, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners. It assists practitioners in identifying and diagnosing suspicious lesions, arranging necessary testing, and facilitating timely referrals to skilled musculoskeletal oncologists when further management is required.
