A member asked:
How can you differentiate primary malignant bone tumor from metastatic bone disease in x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several ways: A primary bone tumor might have certain radiographic characterisitics that are different than metastatic bone disease. Multiple bone tumors strongly suggests metastases. The presence of a prior cancer also strongly suggests that a bone tumor is metastastic.
