Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 1995 Jun;9(3):545-69.

Abstract

Bone tumors generally are classified according to the cytologic features or products of the lesional cells. In most instances, the classification corresponds to a normal cell or tissue type indigenous to bone. This article focuses on sarcomas of bone and features a classification scheme similar to what has been described at the Mayo Clinic.
