Primary Bone Tumors and Tumorous Conditions in Children

Abstract

Hemangiomas of bone are infrequent, about 1.2% of all primary bone tumors. In children, they are even more rare, though they do occur. Bone hemangioma is a benign lesion composed of newly formed blood vessels, capillaries or cavernous blood spaces filled with blood; it leads to a local loss of bone tissue, forming an osteolysis. In skeletal hemangiomatosis, multiple foci are observed throughout the skeleton. This lesion is probably a local hamartoma, rather than a true tumor growth, and therefore should be classified as a dysontogenetic tumor.
