Overview
The most common symptoms of osteosarcoma include bone pain that may worsen at night, swelling, and redness at the site of the tumor. The affected bone is not as strong as normal bones and may fracture with minor trauma (a pathological fracture).
History and Symptoms
Many patients first complain of bone pain that may worsen at night, and may have been occurring for some time. If the tumor is large, it can appear as a swelling over a bone or a bony part of the body. The affected bone is not as strong as normal bones and may fracture with minor trauma (a pathological fracture).[1]
- Bone fracture (may occur after what seems like a routine movement)
- Bone pain
- Limping (if the tumor is in the leg)
- Pain when lifting (if the tumor is in the arm)
- Swelling and redness at the site of the tumor
