[Skeletal neoplasms (study experience of 1483 cases)].

An evaluation of 1,483 case histories (245 benign tumors and tumor-like lesions, 180 giant cell tumors and 1,058 bone sarcomas) furnished by the 1952-1980 registry of the Center for Oncology Research is presented. Brief descriptions of certain skeletal neoplasms are given. It is suggested that the use of information available at specialized registries and reference centers may be instrumental in a wide-range study of bone tumors.
