Abstract

There are numerous benign tumor-like conditions that can affect the hip, both in a systemic and a local manner. Oftentimes, tumor-like conditions are overlooked or omitted from the differential diagnosis. This can lead to a delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment. As clinicians, it is important to be able to properly diagnose and treat these conditions in a timely fashion. Here, the authors present the incidence, characteristics, and treatment of various benign tumor-like conditions to help clinicians identify and treat these conditions.
