With significant morbidity and mortality, bone tumors incidence is low and varies geographically. In our Lebanese population, Seven-hundred-thirty patients with bone tumors were identified with a 64% rate of malignancy with osteosarcoma being the most common primary bone cancer and metastasis being the overall most prevalent bone malignancy. This higher rate of malignancy compared with other populations should be taken into consideration when evaluating Lebanese or Middle eastern patients.
