Benign bone tumors consist of a wide variety of neoplasms that do not metastasize
but can still cause local complications. Historical management of these tumors has
included surgical treatment for lesion resection and possible mechanical stabilization.
Initial percutaneous ablation techniques were described for osteoid osteoma management.
The successful experience from these resulted in further percutaneous image-guided
techniques being attempted, and in other benign bone tumor types. In this article,
we present the most common benign bone tumors and describe the available results for
the percutaneous treatment of these lesions.
