Nonossifying fibroma (NOF) or fibroxanthoma >2cm
fibrous cortical defect
Metaphysis

Choldhood primary malignant tumors of bone
Osteosarcoma
Ewings sarcoma

Mets
Multiple myeloma
Chonrosarcoma
Almost all tumors have low signal on t1w1, which become high intensity in T2 except some
Malignant fibrous histiocytomas
Desmoid tumor
Low signal on both T1 and T2
Any tumor with calcification will be low in signal on both T1 and T2
Low both T1 and T2
Hemangiomas in MRI
High in both T1 and T2
MC malignant primary tumor
Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma on mR
Large soft tissue component with heterogenous high and low signals on T1 and T2
