The main differential considerations include:
- Osteoblastic tumor: In children, consider osteosarcoma, metastatic neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma, and osteoblastoma. In adults consider metastatic breast or prostate cancer.

- Idiopathic segmental sclerosis: Reactive bone formation in response to stress.
