Bone Tumor Location within the Skeleton


Epiphysis: 

Only a few lesions are located in the epiphysis, so this could be an important finding.

In young patients it is likely to be either a chondroblastoma or an infection.

In patients over 20, a giant cell tumor has to be included in the differential diagnosis.

In older patients a geode, i.e. degenerative subchondral bone cyst must be added to the differential diagnosis. 
Metaphysis:

NOF, SBC, CMF, Osteosarcoma, Chondrosarcoma, Enchondroma and infections.
Diaphysis: 

Ewing's sarcoma, SBC, ABC, Enchondroma, Fibrous dysplasia and Osteoblastoma.
