Abstract

Introduction Acromion is essential for stabilizing the shoulder complex. Tumors of the acromion are rare. We report the largest series of acromion tumor and tumor-like lesion.

Materials and Methods A retrospective review of the oncology and radiology database within our tertiary center for orthopaedic oncology was performed to identify all tumors of the acromion over the past 30 years and imaging was reviewed.

Results We identified a total of 31 lesions arising in the acromion and chondrosarcoma was the commonest.

Conclusion One needs to be aware of tumor and tumor-like lesions of acromion.
