3. A bone tumor (also spelled bone tumour) is a neoplastic growth of
tissue in bone. Abnormal growths found in the bone can be
either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
It can be classified as
 Primary 5%
 Secondary 95%
INTRODUCTION

5. • Secondary bone tumors
• Since, by definition, benign bone tumors do not metastasize, all
secondary bone tumors are metastatic lesions which have
spread from other organs, most commonly carcinomas of the
breast, lung, and prostate.
• Reliable and valid statistics on the incidence, prevalence, and
mortality of malignant bone tumors are difficult to come by,
particularly in the oldest (those over 75 years of age),
because carcinomas that are widely metastatic to bone are
rarely ever curable, biopsies to determine the origin of the tumor
in cases like this are rarely done.

OF BONE TUMORS
(BY W.H.O)

7. COMMON BONE TUMORS

8. Osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma begins
in the bone cells. Osteosarcoma
occurs most often in children and
young adults, in the bones of the leg
or arm.
Chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma
begins in cartilage cells. It usually
occurs in the pelvis, legs or arms in
middle-aged and older adults.
Ewing's sarcoma. It's not clear where
in bone Ewing's sarcoma begins, but
the tumors most commonly arise in
the pelvis, legs or arms of children
and young adults.

10. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

11. Risk Factors
 It's not clear what causes bone cancer, but doctors have found certain factors
are associated with an increased risk, including:
 Inherited genetic syndromes. Certain rare genetic syndromes passed through
families increase the risk of bone cancer, including Li-Fraumeni syndrome and
hereditary retinoblastoma.
 Paget's disease of bone. Most commonly occurring in older adults, Paget's
disease of bone can increase the risk of bone cancer developing later.
 Radiation therapy for cancer. Exposure to large doses of radiation, such as
those given during radiation therapy for cancer, increases the risk of bone
cancer in the future.
