Barry Glenn Hansford MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Gregory Scott Stacy MD, Abstract Co-Author: Research agreement, Biomet, Inc

The purpose of this exhibit is:  1. To the best of our knowledge, there is no discussion in the radiology literature dedicated solely to lesions which may arise in the fibula. Hence, our aim is to provide a differential diagnostic overview of lesions which one may encounter in the fibula based on histologically-proven cases encountered at our institution 2. To review how anatomy of the fibula influences the form of primary fibular lesions (e.g., benign lesions may be more likely to appear expansile and therefore aggressive than in other bones) 3. To simplify the differential diagnosis based on key imaging findings and clinical clues  4. To briefly review important lesion-specific “pearls” as well as options for clinical management  

Introduction Discussion of how fibular anatomy influences lesion appearance  Review of fibular lesions and their imaging appearance, including benign and malignant intramedullary and surface tumors, tumor-like lesions, and tumor mimics. This review will include: --Clinical clues --Key imaging findings with pathology specimens --Multi-modality approach to imaging work-up --High yield “pearls” and management considerations Summary
