Abstract
Our purpose is to show that a combination of imaging techniques and periodic radiologic follow-up offers an alternative to biopsy in certain patients with long bone surface osteomas. Asymptomatic lesions that are consistent with osteoma on a combination of imaging studies can be followed up clinically and radiographically, allowing patients to avoid unnecessary biopsies.
