error

"T1: typically hypo to isointense on T1 with areas of decreased intensity that correspond to foci of calcification"

Line 80:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1: typically'

"T2: typically isointense to hypointense on T2 with foci of decreased intensity corresponding to the foci of calcification"

Line 82:4 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T2: typically'

"T1 C+ (Gd): this is a highly vascular tumour and therefore typically avidly enhances, with associated enhancement of the surrounding soft tissues ⁹"

Line 85:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1 C+ (Gd): this'

Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Management is surgical with the selection of the surgical procedure depending on the location and aggressiveness ¹². Intralesional curettage can be performed in most cases but should be extended to the normal bone and can be combined with cryotherapy, chemical cauterization with phenol as adjuncts and bone grafting ¹². En bloc surgical excision is associated with fewer recurrence rates and can be done in locally aggressive and/or large tumours or in recurrent lesions ¹². Pre-operative embolisation can be carried out to reduce bleeding risk. However, surgery needs to be performed at a very short time interval in order to avoid reconstitution of collateral blood supply ^ref. Percutaneous ablation is an emerging modality for the treatment of these lesions (as well as osteoid osteoma) ¹². Recurrence rates may be as high as ~23% ¹."

Line 109:513 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Pre-operative'.

Acronyms

warning

"Osteoblastoma accounts for the 'O' in the popular mnemonic for lucent bone lesions FEGNOMASHIC."

Line 2:90 · 'FEGNOMASHIC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Tc-99m MDP or HMDL: often shows intense uptake although this is non-specific and is typical in all lesions exhibiting increased bone turnover"

Line 88:33 · 'HMDL' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"If features are typical the lesion can be categorised as Bone-RADS 4 on CT or MRI ¹¹."

Line 107:69 · 'RADS' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
