Bone Tumor – Diagnosis, Management & Treatment
Bone tumors occur when abnormal cells grow inside the bone. Many bone tumors are benign
(non-cancerous), while some may be malignant (cancerous). With early diagnosis and modern
Orthopaedic treatment, most bone tumors can be treated effectively with excellent outcomes.
Our center provides expert Orthopaedic evaluation, imaging, biopsy, and advanced surgical care
for all types of bone tumors, ensuring precise diagnosis and safe management.
Types of Bone Tumors We Treat
Benign Tumors
Non-cancerous growths that may still cause pain or swelling.
Malignant Tumors
Cancerous tumors requiring urgent treatment.
Genetic Tumors
Tumors linked to hereditary bone disorders.
Special Types
Includes Osteosarcoma, GCT, Myeloma & more.
Early detection prevents bone destruction, fractures, and tumor spread.
Why Do Bone Tumors Occur?
- Abnormal bone cell growth
- Genetic predisposition
- Previous radiation exposure
- Bone infections
- Inherited disorders
- Spread from cancers (breast, lung, spine)
Common Symptoms of Bone Tumors
Persistent Bone Pain
Pain that worsens at night or with movement.
Swelling or Lump
Visible swelling or mass around the affected bone.
Movement Difficulty
Discomfort or pain while walking or bending.
- Bone weakness leading to fractures
- Unexplained fatigue or fever
- Unexpected weight loss
How Bone Tumors Are Diagnosed
X-ray
First-line assessment for bone abnormalities.
MRI
Detailed view of soft tissue & bone marrow.
CT Scan
High-resolution imaging of bone structure.
Biopsy
Confirms the exact tumor type.
Treatment Options for Bone Tumors
- Observation – for small benign tumors
- Medications – for infection-related cases
- Curettage & Bone Grafting
