In multifocal bony lesions, which one is false? A. always malignant B. Metastases is the commonest bony tumors C. Multiple myeloma show increased activity on radio-isotope scan D. Prostatic metastases is sclerotic while urinary bladder is lytic E. Periosteal reaction is commonly seen in metastasis.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which statement regarding multifocal bony lesions is false. It presents several statements about bone lesions and requires identifying the incorrect one. The focus is on understanding the characteristics of these lesions, particularly in a medical context.
Answer
E. Periosteal reaction is commonly seen in metastasis.
The statement 'In multifocal bony lesions, periosteal reaction is commonly seen in metastasis' is false.
Answer for screen readers
The statement 'In multifocal bony lesions, periosteal reaction is commonly seen in metastasis' is false.
More Information
Periosteal reactions are more commonly associated with trauma or infection, not metastasis.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that all notable bone reactions indicate metastasis. Periosteal reactions are more indicative of non-malignant processes.
