Bone is a typical location of metastasis that usually reflects a negative outcome in oncologic patients.

The diagnosis relies on signs, symptoms, and imaging techniques. This paper is a review of all cases of bone metastasis from our unit and a comprehensive review regarding the clinical approach and treatment of patients with such lesions.
