Abstract
The prebiopsy evaluation of a child with a musculoskeletal neoplasm is the cornerstone for all subsequent treatment. A better understanding of the natural history of pediatric musculoskeletal tumors and an explosion in the development of sensitive new imaging modalities have significantly advanced the care of the child with a musculoskeletal pathologic condition. This article details the prebiopsy clinical and radiographic evaluation of the child or adolescent with a musculoskeletal neoplasm.
