Acronyms

warning

"ABC accounts for the 'A' in the popular mnemonic for lucent bone lesions FEGNOMASHIC."

Line 2:80 · 'FEGNOMASHIC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"The lesion can be categorised according to the bone reporting and data system as Bone-RADS 4 unless histology has already been obtained ⁷."

Line 108:97 · 'RADS' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"On plain radiography (and to a lesser degree, CT), the differential diagnosis includes most of the lesions included in the mnemonic FEGNOMASHIC. Compared to the other lesions in this list, aneurysmal bone cysts are markedly expansile (hence, "aneurysmal") and have a thin cortical shell."

Line 118:139 · 'FEGNOMASHIC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

EG List And

warning

"imaging characteristics e.g. solitary lucent bone lesion, high T1 or low T1 bone lesion"

Line 91:33 · An e.g. list gives selected examples, so it should not end with 'and' or 'or': 'e.g. solitary lucent bone lesion, high T1 or'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"USP6 gene (at 17p13.2 locus) rearrangement; occurs in 63% of cases"

Line 16:63 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Inline EG

suggestion

"It is important to remember that the characteristic multi-loculation and fluid-fluid levels can be seen in other lesions, both benign and malignant (e.g. giant cell tumours (GCT), chondroblastoma and telangiectatic osteosarcomas)."

Line 81:152 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Although they are benign, aneurysmal bone cysts can exhibit different clinical natural courses: quiescent, active or aggressive. Thus, patients should be referred to an orthopaedic oncologist ⁷. They have traditionally been treated operatively with intralesional curettage, excision, or complete en bloc excision with bone grafting ³."

Line 110:100 · Use the Oxford comma in 'quiescent, active or aggressive'.

"On MRI, the differential is much shorter, especially when age, location and plain film appearance are taken into account. The main differential includes both lesions with intrinsic fluid-fluid levels (see fluid-fluid level containing bone lesions) and those from which an aneurysmal bone cyst may arise:"

Line 119:62 · Use the Oxford comma in 'age, location and plain'.
