Bone Tumor Symptoms

Common symptom of bone tumors is pain, mass, adjacent barriers to joint activity, such as tumor oppress the blood vessels, nerve or spinal cord, and cause the blood circulation obstacles, neuralgia or paralysis. Destroy tumor bone fractures resulting from pathological fracture said, malignant tumors, such as osteosarcoma, especially in Ewing's sarcoma or myeloma in the latter may develop fever, weight loss, anemia, or cachexia. Bone response to the tumor showed osteolytic (damage) and osteoblasts (proliferation).

Symptoms of Bone Tumor include:

1) pain is one of the main symptoms, should not ease after rest, because of external stimuli to increase the reduction in pain at night, especially night-time pain in malignant bone tumor, still more obvious pain is caused by trauma and inflammatory diseases of the main differences between the pain.

2) mass often manifested in abnormal limb or trunk uplift, should pay attention to tumor site, size, local temperature, texture, borders, whether or tenderness, the surface of the nature of activity and its growth rate.

3) the age distribution. The age distribution of bone tumors have a certain degree of regularity. Among those who died because of malignant tumor has a peak age of two. A 15 to 20 years old, another for 30-75 years old, most of the first peak of primary malignant tumors, such as infant 6 months of malignant bone tumor in almost all neuroblastoma. Ewing's sarcoma occurs in children many, many osteosarcoma occurred in young people, lymphoma and other small round cell tumor, giant cell tumor of bone, such as happened in the 20 ~ 40 years old, multiple myeloma and metastatic tumors were mostly 50-year-old of patients.

4) site characteristics. Comparison of bone tumors have certain specific parts of the hair better.

Generally, slow-growing benign tumor of bone, pain or mild pain, with the exception of the location of those superficial, can not easily be detected early, when the tumor grew or oppression surrounding tissue, the pain or increase the pathological fracture was found at the beginning. Malignant tumors were invasive growth, the rapid development of cortical damage may spread to soft tissue. Affected area often appear symptoms such as fusiform swelling, lumps border unclear, hard texture, local vasodilation, skin temperature, pain and showed early progressive increase. The late anemia and cachexia, and may happen a number of transfer, the transfer of one of the most common in the lungs.
