10. Giant Cell Tumor of Bone - Radiograph
In the radiograph, you can see that the tumor is located within the
epiphysis. In addition, note that the tumor destroys bone, and hence
it appears that the tumor is cystic. Radiologists describe this
feature as a "soap bubble" lesion. The cortex is thin but not
destroyed. Contrast this finding to that seen in osteosarcomas.
