Benign vs Malignant Bone Tumors: How to Understand the Difference

Not every bone tumor is cancer

Many bone tumors are benign and may only need monitoring. Others are aggressive or malignant and need faster diagnosis and coordinated treatment.

Red flags

Persistent pain, night pain, swelling, a growing mass, an unexplained fracture or an aggressive lesion on imaging should not be ignored.

How the diagnosis is made

The diagnosis depends on matching the patient story, examination, X-rays, MRI or CT, and sometimes a carefully planned biopsy.

Need a second opinion?
