Abstract
Diagnosing small round cell tumors (SCRTs) can be a difficult task for pathologists due to overlapping clinicopathologic features. This review highlights the clinical, radiographic, histologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of the most common SRCTs involving bone with an emphasis on differential diagnosis. SRCTs are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized by poorly differentiated cells with small, blue, round nuclei and scant cytoplasm. They can occur as primary tumors in bone or soft tissue.
