Benign lesions in bone are less studied in terms of progression and prognosis. There is presently no literature studying symptom interval (SI) in neoplastic bone lesions or determinants of delay in Indian setting. The literature is also sparse on SI in benign lesions of bone, since benign bone lesions have seemingly less menacing symptoms and slow progression as compared to their malignant counterparts. Social and cultural issues peculiar to the region of study have an impact on the symptom interval of benign bony lesions.
