Bone Tumor
Bone tumor
is an inexact term, which can be used for both
benign
and
malignant
abnormal growths found in bone, but is most commonly used for primary
tumors
of
bone
, such as
osteosarcoma
(or osteoma)
. It is less exactly applied to secondary, or
metastatic
tumors found in bone: the most common tumors which account for such metastases are
breast cancer
,
lung cancer
, and
prostate cancer
. Metastatic tumors more frequently involve the
axial skeleton
than the
appendicular skeleton
. Treatment for some bone tumors may involve
surgery
, such as limb
amputation
.
