The diagnostic work-up of musculoskeletal tumors is a multifactorial process. During the early phase, differential diagnoses are made using basic radiological imaging. In this phase, part of the decision making is based on the patient's age, as well as the incidence and predilection sites of different entities. Unfortunately, this information is based on older and fragmented data. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated all soft-tissue and bone tumors around the knee in children treated at our tertiary center in the last 20 years, with the aim of verifying the data used today.
