Benign bone-forming tumors

Suspicion of bone tumor requires radiological diagnostics, while the main method of diagnosis is histological examination. The article presents diagnostic radiological and morphological signs of benign bone-forming tumors. Morphological diagnosis of these tumors has several specific features. Information on etiology and clinical picture of these lesions is presented.
