What other conditions are bone islands often confused with?

A bone island sometimes looks similar to other types of lesions or benign bone tumors. (You might hear your healthcare provider refer to this as a “differential diagnosis.”) These include:

• Benign osteoblastoma.
• Low-grade osteosarcoma.
• Osteoblastic metastasis.
• Osteoid osteoma.
• Osteoma.

Your healthcare provider should determine if you have a bone island or a lesion or tumor that looks like one.
