AB Many  benign  bone  tumors  are  painless  and  are  incidental  findings  on  radiographs.Osteoid  osteoma  is  a  relatively  common  benign  tumor.  It  frequently  causes  pain  that  is  worse  at  night  and  is  exquisitely  responsive  to  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  (NSAIDs).Nonossifying  fibromas  (NOF)  are  common  fibrous  lesions.  They  are  often  incidental  findings  but  can  also  cause  chronic  pain.Osteochondromas  tend  to  present  as  a  bony,  nonpainful  mass.  Radiographically  they  appear  as  sessile  or  pedunculated  lesions  of  the  long  bones.Patients  with  enchondromas  may  present  with  a  mass  or  pathologic  fracture,  but  most  are  asymptomatic.  The  hands  are  most  commonly  involved.Solitary  bone  cysts  in  the  lower  extremity  are  prone  to  fracture  and  require  excision.Aneurysmal  bone  cysts  (ABCs)  commonly  involve  the  long  bones.  They  are  associated  with  rapidly  progressive  pain  and  swelling  and  can  cause  significant  morbidity.
