A review of all primary tumours and tumour-like lesions of bone diagnosed in patients who attended the University Hospital of the West Indies over a 10-year period revealed 136 cases comprising 69 benign and 54 malignant tumours, and 13 cases of tumour-like lesions. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of the various lesions are discussed and compared with the findings in other series.
