The most important distinction is between probably benign versus probably malignant lesions.
GEOGRAPHIC

•  Term used to describe marginated or solitary area of bone lucency.
•  Margins of the lesion could be traced easily with a pencil line.
•  More likely benign.

MOTH-EATEN

•  Caused by numerous smaller osteolytic lesions.
•  Endosteal excavations.
•  Likely malignant.

PERMEATIVE

•  Aggressive infiltrative process that causes cortical tunnelling.
•  Numerous tiny and indistinct osteolytic lesions with poor margination between abnormal and normal bone.
•  Likely malignant.
