Knochenläsionen der Diaphyse

Diaphyseal lesions are found centered in the diaphysis, the central tubular segment of long bones.

Differential diagnosis

• simple bone cyst
• fibrous dysplasia
• enchondroma
• metastases
• myeloma / plasmacytoma
• lymphoma
• osteomyelitis
• osteoid osteoma
• round cell tumor, e.g. Ewing sarcoma (children)
• bone infarct
• Langerhans cell histiocytosis

More uncommon diphyseal lesions include:

• adamantinoma
• osteofibrous dysplasia
• Brown tumor secondary to hyperparathyroidism
• hydatid cyst
