TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 19. Pathology of the Bones and Joints A1 - Kemp, Walter L. A1 - Burns, Dennis K. A1 - Brown, Travis G. Y1 - 2008 N1 - T2 - Pathology: The Big Picture AB - Diseases of the bone include non-neoplastic disorders such as genetic defects (e.g., achondroplasia), osteoporosis, infections of the bone (i.e., osteomyelitis), and Paget disease. The age of the patient and the location of the tumor are very important considerations in the diagnosis of bone tumors. For example, most chondrosarcomas occur in older adults and almost never occur in the bones of the hands, whereas most Ewing sarcomas occur in the diaphysis of long bones of children.
