Benign Bone Tumors
Osteochondroma: This is the most common type of benign bone tumor. It usually appears during childhood or adolescence and involves the overgrowth of cartilage and bone near the ends of long bones, typically around the knee or shoulder.
Osteoid Osteoma: This tumor is small and usually less than 1.5 cm in size. It often causes pain that worsens at night and responds well to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Enchondroma: This type of tumor develops within the cartilage inside the bone and is typically found in the hands and feet. Most enchondromas are asymptomatic, but they can cause pain or fractures in some cases
Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: While this tumor is generally benign, it can be locally aggressive. It often occurs around the joints, such as the knee, and may cause pain and swelling
Malignant Bone Tumors
Chondrosarcoma: Arising from cartilage cells, chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor. It typically occurs in the pelvis, hip, and shoulder regions. Treatment may involve surgery, and the effectiveness of chemotherapy is limited.
Ewing Sarcoma: This tumor primarily affects children and young adults and often arises in the bones of the pelvis, thighs, and upper arms. Ewing sarcoma is highly aggressive and usually
Osteosarcoma: This is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, often occurring in the long bones, such as the arms and legs. It primarily affects adolescents and young adults. Osteosarcoma can be aggressive and may require a combination of surgery and chemotherapy.
Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma usually starts in the long bones, such as the arms or legs, but it can also develop in other bones.
The exact cause of osteosarcoma is unknown, but it has been linked to genetic factors, radiation exposure, certain bone disorders, and previous bone trauma.
